Bron needs to step to Channing Crowder…

[Based Lord Zedd]

And what is wrong with that nepotism?

I don't like it.

Lesser players, lesser coaches, and lesser NBA personnel have snuck their way into the league through nepotistic means ever since the league's inception. Have you ever kept the same energy in regards to all those cases, or is this just the first time you've feigned concerned over it?

Yes. Arthur Smith the football coach is another person I've complained about on here. shyt a joke. Meritocracy should matter in sports and be protected. We want to see the best compete.

Media coverage around today's NBA is infinite, so trying to make out like Bronny was steali Bronny getting drafted wasn't just about him, it was about how his pops is still in the league and how they'd be the first father-son duo to play together, even moreso considering who Bron is.

What does media coverage is infinite mean? ESPN has to choose which stories to cover and what put as the top headline. They prioritized a low level player due to the power dynamics. Yes ESPN did waste time on him that would've been better spent on others. Because they don't care about basketball just entertainment.

The LAST pick in the draft is only a story because they helped write it.

Players get drafted to the NBA every year; fathers and sons playing together in the NBA don't.

Who cares this was manufactured.

The problem with this is, we live in a country where sport and its history are monopolized by what is the white narrative.

In theory, yes, sports should be that, it should be entirely that and nothing more/less, but because leagues like the NBA and NFL have been built upon white on white on white on white (the NBA literally had a Black quota once upon a time), they're essentially an ocean of partiality, so it makes absolutely no sense to single out a speck in this vast body of water where one Black player who's transcendend the league (we're not just talking about your average player), has a son who's benefitted in this rather small way, in relation, by being drafted right at the end of his class.

Bronny is not taking an opportunity away from anyone; Bronny is not taking attention away from anyone.

Not only that, but he's actually proven he's at the very least a borderline NBA talent. Y'all are making out like he's some Make-A-Wish player. He's better than some players who were even drafted before him. Go figure.

It means there are infinite channels of NBA coverage. Focusing on what ESPN covers is low-hanging fruit because they're typically going to center their headlines around what generates interest and not prioritizing what matters from most to least. Your issue should be with ESPN and not Bronny.

Besides, I know you're not talking about ESPN wasting time on him when they'd otherwise be wasting time on something that would be even more trivial than what you perceive this to be.

Who cares this was manufactured.

Every storyline is manufactured.

Doing a quick search, it appears you're not too fond of Bron, so it seems to me you only have an issue with this because of the player involved. I bet you wouldn't have this same energy if a storyline of a similar nature was about your favorite player.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The billions that Bron has helped the NBA generate and help the game grow (arguably more than anyone in history), and cats are mad because his son is getting a little bit of attention.

Bron hate certainly runs deep.

 

[Patrick Kane]

We don’t hear or talk about any of these nikkas and yet we get force fed about a mediocre late draft spot player so people will talk about it. It isnt rocket surgery. It isnt personal. It’s simply, a spotlight and it happens to good and bad players alike.

Forced fed by who though? The only people force feeding the Bronny agenda is ESPN and they sell propaganda and bullshyt, so that’s expected. But you not forced to watch that shyt

Then you got nikkas like this on the podcast who piggyback off it for content and clicks. They don’t actually give a fukk about Bronny or his game or truly critiquing it but they know it’ll generate views for them and profits from that.

What did Channing even say that really analyzed and broke his game down? He began his rant with sucking off Lebron before even talking bout Bronny so how’s it really about him? That’s how all the hate for Bronny begins when nikkas start speaking it’s not normal breh.

 

[Patrick Kane]

How come this is only brought up regarding criticism.

The LAST pick in the draft shouldn't get headlines on ESPN because he scored a point, did well in gleague or ran it up in garbage time.

If you want to say people shouldn't have an opinion on him, apply that to everything. The media was complicit in trying to convince us this was anything but straight nepotism. Why was the LAST pick in the draft getting the same or more pre draft media attention as top picks?

Dudes want to act like the "haters" invented this circus. NBA, Lakers, Bron, ESPN and the rest of them did that. Giving extra attention to a player they wouldn't give a 10 day to under normal circumstances.

I just said in my last post that it’s only ESPN selling this propaganda and agenda towards Bronny. Literally all of the conversation and manufacturing of hate comes directly from ESPN talking about LeBron and now Bronny literally every single day. I live in Canada and have access to two sports networks (TSN and Sportnet) and they never mention Bronny. So you’re living in an ESPN bubble that ricochets across social media when SAS goes on one of his rants or someone makes a podcast about some shyt discussed on ESPN earlier.

This is all ESPN that’s manufacturing the consent of hate towards Bronny and it’s weird as fukk cause you nikkas getting duped up in it instead of actually watching the kids game and seeing if there’s a player there (there is).

 

[Po pimp]

he aint that deep. Yall acting like weirdos lol it’s natural for a father to think his son is better than he is. Yall just lookin for reasons to hate. Yall would be hatin in da same fashion even if he didnt make those comments lol

People say Bron is one of the most calculating and aware people. It wasn’t simply Bron pumping up his son. Bron definitely wanted that historic moment and has been speaking it into existence since Bronny was a kid. Nothing wrong with that, but he had to know this would put extra attention on Bronny. Being his son was already enough, but when LeBron says he’s better than some of the players and gets him drafted to a franchise like the Lakers, that’s even more eyes (I.e. people rooting against him simply because they don’t like LeBron). I know people will say he was a McDonalds All American, but if we’re being honest, did he really jump off the page as a top HS player in the country based on his production and highlights? Look at Gilbert Arenas’ son. He’s breaking all types of records and he will probably go top 5 in a much deeper high school class. Gil wasn’t just some role player, and he has a platform as well (though not on LeBron’s level), and he makes all types of wild takes, and I haven’t even heard him make comments like that about his son being better than players in the league right now. If I’m wrong, correct me.

So we agree sports should be that, you can save the rest. You keep trying to make this argument that I'm "singling out" Bronny. You asked me if I had this same energy for others and I gave an example. A WHITE example. You of course want to keep arguing to argue.

Bronny is not taking an opportunity away from anyone; Bronny is not taking attention away from anyone.

He did though. There's a finite number of draft spots and a finite amount of top media coverage.

Not only that, but he's actually proven he's at the very least a borderline NBA talent. Y'all are making out like he's some Make-A-Wish player. He's better than some players who were even drafted before him. Go figure.

He is a make a wish player which is why you're trying to big him up for being a borderline nba talent. Second nothing that happens after changes the facts about how/why he was drafted. It wasn't about talent and that will always be an issue for me.

It means there are infinite channels of NBA coverage. Focusing on what ESPN covers is low-hanging fruit because they're typically going to center their headlines around what generates interest and not prioritizing what matters from most to least. Your issue should be with ESPN and not Bronny.

This infinite channels of NBA coverage is such a dumbass argument. I have literally posted on here that my issue is with ESPN not Bronny. I know you know how to search old posts. When did I ever say I had an issue with Bronny. You'll type anything just to argue.

Besides, I know you're not talking about ESPN wasting time on him when they'd otherwise be wasting time on something that would be even more trivial than what you perceive this to be.

ESPN was only used as an example, insert aby major media outlet.

Every storyline is manufactured.

See I know you know how to use search. You can find posts of me complain about nepotism and saying I have 0 issue with Bronny. Go look clown.


And yes I would have an issue. If my Peyton Manning, one of my of all time favorites, forces his son into the league...on my life I'd have the same energy.

 

[Standing on business]

Bron the biggest name in the league and we know Bronny is here because of nepotism, of course it was going to be a hot topic good or bad when he stepped on the court beginning of the season. We’re 2 weeks away from the NBA playoffs, if you’re on a podcast right going off on how you don’t thinks he’s an nba player then you’re just doing it for agitation, clicks and views.

[Theflash]

This man lets his wife be naked with everyone. Anything he ever had to say is not respected

 

[Sterling Archer]

Of course, it's personal because it's Bron's son.

If it was y'all favorite player's son, y'all most definitely wouldn't have the same energy in wanting to see them fail or pointing out how their position in the league isn't deserved. It stands to reason his son is going to get publicity, purely because of who he is tied to, so pretending like he's being forced upon us is being disingenious. If there was literally no fanfare or any exposure, y'all would see find a way to hate.

It's just a convenient excuse to use that his story arc is surfeit to your basketball palate.

Y'all use Bronny as a proxy to wage your war against Bron. Saying anything to the contrary is only lying to yourselves.

Who tf is y’all nikka? You’d be hard pressed to see me ever mention Bronny. Quote the nikkas you talking about next time you see it. Don’t “yall” me nikka.

 

[Sterling Archer]

If rocket surgery was a thing, it’d be harder than rocket science.

 

[Harry B]

People focus a lot on Bronny like he was picked as the #1 pick and not basically Mr. Irrelevant.

Compare him to other mediocre very late draft picks over time instead of trying to compare him to starters or any players getting real minutes.
