“Somebody’s Son just got a plush job in the NBA … and no the same energy will not be had ⚡️🙅‍♂️

[Rekkapryde]

It’s cool no one cares

But this is how the goal post is moved when we do what they do to move ahead


Evil when we do it

Smart when they do it


I will bow out


No problem

Fam, it don't compare.

I don’t know the NBA seems perfectly accepting of Nepotism. I mean let’s be serious Austin Rivers should not have been in the league as long as he should have been. Same with Thanis and Damian Lee.


Shyt the Knicks actively kept J.R Smith younger brother Chris Smith signed for a minute because J.R asked them to.

 

[Rekkapryde]

If the point is pointing out nepotism? Then I guess.

But there are plenty of examples of it in the league...black and white.

But on court is where it went too far for many.

In Bronny was an exec for Klutch sports no one would care. They’re not getting that people thought sports was an exception on the court.

Austin Rivers was the Number 1 prospect in the country coming out of high school. Should he have been in the league as long...maybe/maybe not. There are nikkaz who've been in the league longer and are worse than he ever was.

Exactly.

Compare a desk job to being a pro athlete

 

[Grifter]

It's been in football for decades If it wasn't Bron it would've been in the news for a week and there wouldn't be 5 pages in Coliseum of threads with Bronny in the title.



The problem was it was a draft pick and playing time given.

You can argue that nepotism makes a lot more sense as an athlete than it does for desks jobs. I don't think great front office skills can be inherited but athleticism definitely can. We talk about how many second generation athletes are in the draft every year.

And incompetence in a desk job can be hidden, you can't hide it on the court so eventually everyone must earn their spot

Thats the point OP is making. None of these arguments are consistent. People pick and choose when they care.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Make it worse

Who got him that job 14 years ago?


That’s the point it’s ok when they do it but when we do it

It’s a thousands of think pieces that’s the issue

The damn president had his entire family in the White House last term and this term

But when 44 just thought about the girls grandma wanted to be their baby sitter the world burn down with the word


Nepotism

If your kid can do the job then get them the job. Be COLOR brave when you're in a position of power.

Get to the point in life where you can leverage your own nepotism and make shyt happen. Damn.

Double standards will always exist tho. That's just the way it is.
