    He is a clown. Simple.

    As far as I can tell is that Lebron spoke to him and left it at that. It is SAD who is milking it on all the ESPN shows cause he is a Fn clown

    The father in me agrees 100% with Lebron. Stephen A’s “he could’ve talked to me in private” is BS. If you can publicly criticize Bronny in front of millions, be prepared for Lebron to publicly confront you on it.
    What’s understood doesn’t have to be said. We all know Bronny isnt NBA ready right now. But considering what the kid has had to come back from with the heart issues I would’ve given him some grace and let it go if I had Stephen A’s platform.

    I don’t get the Bronny hate. He is the 54th pick folks. Most second round picks don’t make it past their first contract. He is better than JHS who was taken 17th.

    It’s jsut odd.

    OMG … what a jacka** to have concocted that phony concerned but in reality hit piece with his screaming emphasis. Good for LeBron to get right in his ugly face about it. And NO doubt whatsoever it’s good fuel for Bronny to keep working his butt off like he’s doing, just like AR had the burning desire to succeed to be able to flip all the haters the bird.

    There are multiple first rounders who look worse than Bronny but you wouldn’t know it based on the coverage.

    Still talking...










    Didn't realize this was before the 4th, thought it was after the game. That makes it even better. Stephen A had to slouch down and hide for 1 Q + OT

    Somewhat Lakers and James related...a war of words now between Kendrick Perkins and Charles Barkley.

    What did he say about Brony recently? Player confrontations are actually Stephen A's thing..He's had his share, from AI running up on him in Philly, Kief smacking him on his a**, in Washington. Rondo calling him, a b**** a** reporter in our locker room. He milks em all too, WWF style.

    No need to confront Smith. Just a hard smack upside his head. Actions speak louder than words.

    Exactly. He was a late second round pick.

    The best part of that whole video was Morris, Trey and Vando walking up behind Lebron. Shows me the whole team is behind one another and ready for any kind of external fight - that kind of camaraderie goes a LONG way.

    One quarter or Bron, any quarter, beats VC. Damn!



    SAS taking his s*** on the Bron family tour to the one place he knows he'll have a safe space.

    He's a 55th pick and it's not like he's taking away minutes from a player better than him or something like this .

    Medias should have talked about it/him the 1st game and move on .

    … and starting next year that multiple years cost controlled 2nd round contract will be looking good on the “margins” for our scrambling GM. Book it. Embrace the hate Bronny …. show em!!

    The only shot you have is what the Knicks (last game) and C Bags did (last years Finals); you have to have an individual defender(s) and a scheme to pressure him and force him into tough shots and make him work. It's what we see for every great player. And if he's just on, there's really nothing you could do to stop him.

    It really took Jaylen Brown and the whole C Bags defense (I think Luke was injured, too?) to really do a decent job at trying to put the clamps down, but he still put up huge stats. I think that will be different than Bron in a 7 game series. I never trusted Kyrie against the C Bags. If we remember, Kyrie & KD got swept, and they completely took Kyrie out of the series; he also struggled in these Finals, too.

    LBJ changes the calculus. So does Reaves. We'll see how it goes tonight. Go Lakers!!

    Yes Luka was hobbled to some level less than 100% the entire(?) playoffs I believe.
