[Official] Luka Doncic's and Bronny James's Los Angeles Lakers

96 - honouring 96 Bulls

 

More like 69 honoring something nefarious. IYKYk.

 

Assuming this is sarcasm, I love it!

 

I dug Dalton Knecht to LAL more than the Bronny pick.

 

Giannis plays with his dad.

 

Lol

 

He's like the principal's kid nobody wants to be friend with in school.

 

and the principal's kid speaks at an esl level english, but gets put in ap english and mysteriously gets straight a's

 

One dude's a top 10 pick and the other is the 55th so yeah you should dig Knecht more.

Bronny should be looked at the same way we look at Nfaly Dante. 55th pick only 5 spots from undrafted.

 

While I understand why they did it, drafting Bronny could do irreputable damage to their clubhouse and the mindsets of some of their players. IDK about the rest of you, but a guy getting undeserved special treatment in the workplace brought out the very worst in me. I found it maddening.

 

I think that's the part. I think it's beautiful a dad gets to work with his son. I think it's historic for dad/son to share a court together at the highest level. I think a dad doing what is best for his son, there's nothing wrong with that and it's 100% natural. However, it's one opportunity taken AWAY from someone else whose DREAM is to even have a CHANCE to step on the court. It's just that resources are limited, and someone will have one less opportunity because of this undeserved giving of an opportunity. Maybe most won't care, most audience will marvel at the cool sight and history being made but for that one person whose lifetime of hardwork and dedication will be ignored, it's devastating. We always root for the underdogs, why are we so enamored with this father/son thing with Lebron? If anything I think much LESS of Lebron and his legacy because of this, instead of the other way around

 

Has anyone ever asked Bronny whether he really wanted to play basketball for a living?

With his dad's wealth, he could choose to do anything he wanted, or do nothing, and have a very comfortable life.

 

If he doesn't he's doing a really good job of faking it. He's clearly trying when he's on the floor and he's certainly put in the work on his body.

He just doesn't seem to have the skills, explosion or innate acumen to be successful at his size. If not for the last name he would a decent 4 year college player who fights for 2 way contracts.

 

i dunno, when i see lerbonny, i see a hungry player who wants to be one of the nba elites. he has that fire that the likes of mergady, carter, and pg13(8) do not have. i wish him the best and hope he proves them haters wrong and make the all star team by year 5.

 

Exactly. Work ethic seems good, the problem is skill and talent are not NBA level and probably never will be.

 

Patrick Beverley and Chuck Hayes were two of the most limited players I have ever had the honor to watch......

I could be certain that other teams had those type of players as well. PJ Tucker,.......

The basic requirement is that the D has to hold up.

 

More reason to not follow the Lakers.
