    House of Highlights not pulling any punches. They put Bronny's 2 point game into a highlight package.

    Poor kid he has no business being out there. His dad probably pushed him to the league without truly asking him what HE wants

    he got a guaranteed pro contract. It's not up to fans to make him better. Bronny needs to ice the critics with his own skills

    Honestly, idk how he's supposed to do that. He's had the best facilities (including a full gym inside his house) and the best coaching in the world, and he still has hands of stone, and he can't shoot. He wasn't a starter on his college team, and was in double figures only 3 times (scoring 10, 11, and 15 pts), and scored zero points in 4 games that he played.

    If I was a Lakers fan (AND THANK GOD I'M NOT, HAWK TUAH), I would be absolutely livid right now that the franchise has fallen so low as to allow a player on their team to dictate player personnel matters such as this. Taking up a valuable roster spot with a GUARANETEED MUTI-YEAR CONTRACT to satisfy the ego of a player who alone is not winning you a championship anytime soon. As I said when I started this thread, I am loving every minute of the dumpster fire that this franchise has become.

    Bronny is an adult in a professional league, he's not free from people being critical of him.

    it is so hilarious to me how much pressure bron put on his kid. they need to send out assets to get off players just to clear room to make signings, but it's clear players don't wan't to sign there. it's also clear that pelinka doesn't trust that they're going to be good in a few years to send out future picks, which is the only thing teams want because their players are negative value as trade assets.

    what a shame! :)

    The same critics that his dad? Maybe the best player ever?

    As long as it’s realistic. He looks like a #55 pick in arguably the worst draft in NBA history. What’s there to critique? People are critiquing because of the nepotism, not the ineptitude. That’s what I don’t like. What other player picked in the 50s is getting blasted everyday. Let’s at least be honest on WHY.

    The best way to view Bronny is completely inside a vacuum. Just judge him as a #55 pick.

    granted the opportunity is being handed to him on a silver platter, but for me it’s the only thing that makes sense to accurately assess the dude

    My big issue is Lebron hyping his kid being better than half the players in the NBA. Bullshit statement that added tremendous amount of pressure to his son. There was no need to be arrogant and make a statement like that.

    If clowns think he was being serious, that’s on them. Nobody anywhere took that as a legit statement, and if you truly believe players around the league read it and that added pressure on the kid, you just don’t understand how this league works.

    Man I hate when people feel like they have to insult to get a point across. Do I think he was serious yes I do. The same guy appointed himself the king. Held a huge promotional event to announce he was leaving for Miami. Is he joking maybe, is he arrogant 100%. I also believe that he believes his son is better than he is. Not that that’s a crime because most parents think that. Sorry not a fan of him but do wish his son good luck and hope he is successful
