Get the bag kids.
Something tells me this has nothing to do with Bronny’s talent
Bronny is gonna be so rich now.
It’s a waste of money, it’s bogus and it’s unfair to kids who are better but don’t have the national media or a famous father behind them.

Can someone post the paywall article.
Before anyone decides to be a shill for supporting journalism, I can giants you there is nothing on this site that has the quality of Grantland.

High school kids can sign NIL’s?
Is it me or is the younger brother better? Idk about bronny
LeBronny James
This likely doesn’t bode well for Louisville in their DJ Wagner pursuit.
It looks like you’ve misread this. It is saying that LeBron’s deal was reportedly worth more than $1 billion.
I think it’s hilarious that Reddit generally hammers nepotism and the rich getting richer, but has zero problem with LeBron’s son who only has a deal or is rated as highly because of his dad.
Turns out people/families with money, protect their own and try to ensure their offspring have success.
Some high schoolers have made more money than you and I in our entire lives
And literally nothing in his life will change for him. 🤣
Damn bronny Jr signed a billion-dollar deal before playing? wild
If bronny was not lebron’s son would he even be drafted at this point
I have a hard time taking him serious with the name Bronny. Is he a 4-year old? 😂
Bruh I wouldn’t mind a 1 billion dollars out of high school
Lebrons first deal wasn’t a lifetime or for nearly as much, I think it was 10years/100 million. He signed the lifetime one when that was due to expire iirc
Ah yes nepotism…
