Nepotism isn't the worst thing about this world. Families work hard, and many times the children rightfully benefit from it. The problem with Bronny and Stephen is that they appear to lack talent relative to their peers. Everybody knows that with Bronny. That's why they are telling us not to call it nepotism while at the same time acknowledging that it's nepotism. That's why they're trying so hard to defend it. Nobody said Jalen Brunson, Klay Thompson, Jaren Jackson Jr., Stephen Curry, etc. were examples of nepotism because they actually belong.
I think it's ok. Nepotism will open the door but at least in the NBA you're gonna have to prove yourself sooner or later. I doubt Silas will ever get a head coaching job again and if Bronny sucks, he's not gonna last very long especially in the pressure cooker of the Lakers. At least it's not like the corporate world where the nepo babies can get some undefined role and skate off the backs of actually valuable peers.
I didn’t say that Reed would be a better player than Green. I said he will be a better defender than Green - I am pretty confident of that, primarily because Green isn’t a good defender and he will be expected to focus even more on efficiency and scoring next year.
Wasn’t TyTy Washington like the 29th or 30th pick? Saying someone taken that deep in the draft will struggle isn’t really going out on a limb.
It very well could be both? I suspect that at least some of it is his off season program and poor coaching at the beginning of his career. I think that Green can shoot in the high 30’s from 3 with the right program, focus and coaching.
as a father, I can understand it would be like dream come true to do what you do professionally with your own children. still, this is way too much favoritism given just because it's Lebron. I'm sure there's ton of father professional athletes who'd like to do this but won't get their way because... it's not merited, and someone else is possibly losing an opportunity because of this. i don't know why nationally this isn't a big issue
