    On twitter they're saying it's a cover up or that the defect was caused by the vaccine, these people have an agenda and will absolutely never admit they are wrong.

    Those were the Scouts pre-Combine though, at least it came about before the Combine.

    I mean yep, he visibly worked on his ball handling, on his shooting since then.

    If he did not have the cardiac arrest and played better in that one year at USC, of course there is a better chance he got drafted.

    It's probably better for Bronny to stay in college for a year or two longer to develop his game. But his daddy can't wait.

    I think he is primed for the G League though, should have gone Overseas as well.....

    His dad can wait 1 or 2 years but I guess it would be a good story for BSPN and the NBA.

    He is not a lost cause like the Jordan kids.

    Lerbron should be a player coach by now, in that capacity he would help his kid a lot more.

    LBJ going into player development ....22+ years of bball knowledge should be a treasure trove.

    IDK. Usually geniuses aren't very good teachers because they don't understand how they have their instincts and why other people can't do what they do.

    Most good coaches are players who aren't very talented but work hard to study and work on their games in order to be able to compete.

    That goes for coaches but he might not want to be a coach.....

    every other teacher has a department, and as long as they just stay in their lane (knowledge) should be okay.

    The Head coach is just the one with the ultimate Decision........ the assistants and coordinators are there to make proposals

    Also Bronny is at age 18-22 where he is the most head strong and most rebellious, so he might not even listen to his dad all the time in term of bball.

    He's financially set for life. For college, he might even had a basketball scholarship.

    In today's age where Universities are super expensive, I'm questioning why Bronny doesn't just go and enjoy school. Get a good education, be around kids his age, get that great College experience and not have to worry about debt. Can still be free for a while before the responsibilities of an adult.


    A college degree is something he can have for the rest of his life. Uni is a place to learn different things and open the mind.

    The way I see it, it is hard to project your own views on university onto a kid like him, he is his own man and his dad is like the Number 1 basketball player of 2 generations.

    They will eventually figure it out with the playing together thing.

    Bronny's circumstances are different in an extreme way. While everyone in my family has graduated from college, even I can understand why he might not have any inclination to continue.

    He also doesn't need college for any future chapter of his life, whether or not he continues playing basketball.

    I suppose. He's lucky in that he's in a situation where he can go where his academic interests go.

    Many college student doesn't have that luxury. They worry about choosing a major where the profession has earning power (get a job with a living wage).

    Bronny won't have that limitation. If he's interested in the arts, history, literature, he can pursue them as he wish. Also just life skills in general, taking finance classes or business management will likely be useful. Eventually he might be inherit dad's businesses.

    College (liberal arts) anyways used to mean bettering yourself.

    Anyways, it's his life. Can risk going to the draft with those 4pts per game.
