[Shelburne] “The Warriors liked Bronny’s skill set and had him on their draft board, sources said. Selecting him ahead of the Lakers, who held the 55th pick, would’ve been a shrewd move…But ultimately, sources said, the Warriors opted to respect the wishes James had made clear…”

I was praying for chaos tbh. I didn’t know Bron was a boogeyman tho lol, good on him.
I feel like this is just going to be talked about endless
“The San Antonio Spurs liked Wembanyama’s skill set and had him on their draft board, sources said. Selecting him ahead of the Charlotte Hornets, who held the 2nd pick, would’ve been a shrewd move…But ultimately, sources said, the Spurs opted to respect the wishes Wembanyama had made clear…”
This just sounds very strange. I find it hard to believe.
Kinda off topic, but I legit wonder if Bronny still lives at home or not. LeBron and Bronny may not be the first father & son athletes to play together, but they may be the first that still live in the same house lol
Tampering for me but not for thee
The source? Rich Paul
Shelburne has no sources.
if Bronny ever ends up as good as GP2 I’d say that’s a success. I’d be shocked though
I will give this kid as much attention as I give any 55th pick: absolutely none until he actually does something.
Edit: I really shouldn’t be surprised so many people made the same unfunny, asinine reply to this. That’s partially on me lol.
Lol @ another team “respecting the wishes” of a player that’s never even played for them. I’m sure that was the reason.
Shelburne copying word for word the text she received from Rich Paul.
Because this is absolute BS. If they thought he was worth that they wouldn’t have passed because of Bron’s wishes lmfao.
Lmfao
I don’t believe you .gif
Yeah, I’m calling bullshit.
Maybe LeBron should have considered what his kid might want instead of what he wanted.
Yeah Yeah Yeah
This is bs to get the warriors good pr
We haven’t even gotten to a preseason game yet and I’m already sick of the Bronny “stories” the media is pushing.
So it’s about Lebron, I get it….
LePresident of the NBA
Ramona is on the LePayroll.
I know it’s Shelburne but what in the bootlicking fuck is this
The warriors were thinking about drafting me as well early in the draft but I told them I just wanted to play video games and not get paid millions. Thankfully they respected my wishes.
This is crazy to say out loud. One thing for the agent to say “my guy won’t play for you” it’s different to “respect” the wishes of a player on a different team.
I thought Bron said the lakers didn’t have to draft bronny?
Boruto trained with sauske 🤷🏾♂️
Shelburne is a joke of a reporter
LeBullshit.
There’s absolutely 0% this is true lol
Hmm do I believe an unreliable “journalist” with no sources or Bob Myers who was GM of the Warriors for over a decade and claimed that Rich Paul told other teams if anyone but the Lakers drafted Bronny he would hold out and play in Australia for a year… Tough call
Imagine they did take Bronny and then Lebron forces a trade to GS and pairs up with Curry
Shut the fuckkkkk up with this son shit everyone
It’ll be interesting to see the spin when Bronny plays terribly.
Probably some undisclosed illness/injury.
“Coach Redick, on Bronny’s 0-8 fourth quarter after DAngelo Russell fouled our and Knecht out with injury: ‘Bronny has actually been battling a stomach virus all week. He’s warrior just making it out there. People on social media are killing the three consecutive midcourt fouls on their best FT shooter when we needed stops. But they just don’t know hoops. We may have lost by 12 what was a very winnable game with 2 minutes to go, but they don’t see the valuable rest that provided his dad and AD. That’s just his basketball IQ. They don’t see the little things he does, like how he keeps his head up while he dribbles and runs hard during fast breaks. He’s gonna be a good one man. We’re real excited.’”
Right- wishes right now are more important than winning championships
Clearly warriors didn’t care all that much and this is a made up story
What “skillset” do they see in a bad college player who isn’t a freak athlete?
This dude Lebron strikes me as an overbearing father. Like are we ever going to see if this kid has a personality or even an existence outside of his father?
cough cough BULLSHIT cough cough
Lmao if anyone believes this
i am sure there was a fierce battle over who gets to draft bronny james
