Becoming a top 20 player and having the opportunity to play with your father is a great story. It's not the same as following your dad in the accounting or real estate industry.

The top 20 player is mostly about his dads name. He wasn't even the best player on his high school team.

He's had access to elite coaches since the day he was born and he's getting paid millions in college just because of his last name and his dad is openly bribing teams to draft him.

Why is it different than any other dad using their own power to set their kids up over other kids who don't have rich fathers?

I think LeBron has realized pushing his kid into the NBA is the only thing he can have over Jordan.

Its not ?

It's also kind of funny that the story of Bronny is mostly about a billionaire's son being raised from birth with advantages no one else has and open nepotism by his father but it is portrayed as a feel good story.

It's like rooting for Bill Gates kid to become an executive at Microsoft.

Marcus and Jeffrey didn't follow MJ to the NBA for a reason. The same is true for many other great professional athletes. Nepotism only gets you so far as an athlete. You need elite talent to be a pro. You don't need to be elite to follow your dad in these other fields.

If LeBron's goal is to play a season with his son that means Bronny only plays one year of college ball. These stats scream " elite talent " to you ? Unless he just goes nuts as a 6'2 college freshman itll 100% be a nepotism pick.

Bronny James' stats support his his rise as one of the top prospects in the country. As of January 2023, according to SB Live, Bronny is averaging 14 points, a team-high 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game for Sierra Canyon, one of the most stacked high school teams.

Yes exactly!

Don't get me wrong. I would do the exact same thing though maybe I wouldn't use my son to trash talk current NBA players.

It's just not really a feel good story. It's like rooting for Eric Trump.

what if Bill Gates was black?

Because MJ isn’t a closed minded egotistical idiot father. He knew his kids being millionaires they have more opportunities than playing basketball. He gave them options instead of forcing them to do it his way Bec I’m the allmighty micheal Jordan.

all of the lebron hate is mostly jealousy. i dont like all the complaining he did over the years, but otherwise he's a good dude and his dedication to the game has been amazing.

would people like lebron more if he whored around with cocaine and strippers his whole career?

Yep, we should look up to celebrities who donate money to causes we can all agree on regardless of political affiliation and economic status.

They both played basketball. Neither were good at it. Marcus was the best. Now Marcus is fucking a woman his mother's age.

His son will have earned his own millions after 1 year in college.

his own in the sense that they are given to him directly but not in the sense anyone would be giving that money to Bronny Smith...even at USC, where he wouldn't be playing at but for his name as well

Marcus was pretty good.

They both just realized that there was a lot of fun out there in the world for the son of a billionaire.

It's not out of the question that Bronny becomes a solid rotation player at best in the NBA. Like the 7th man and spot starter. That's perhaps his ceiling. Or he could become a decent star playing in China, Greece, etc.
