    I don't think he can. He has 8.1m followers on IG. For comparison Wemby, the #1 pick in last year's draft only has 4 million.

    Pops will teach him how to use it to his advantage and I'm sure he already knows a good bit. You don't have that without knowing its benefits and monetization abilities.

    It's going to be pretty funny when the fans vote him in as an all star and he's the 12th man on our team.

    He can turn into a shorter version of Josh Hart. I’m rooting for the kid.

    high risk signing. A guy in a PG body who can't play PG. We always stay away from that exact same SG description, so in reality, the ONLY reason he's a Laker is because he's Lebron's son. Earned it my a**. How exactly did he earn it? A good workout or two? I think we've all learned that can be fools gold, and what matters is results in games.

    it is what it is, but hopefully JJ only plays the kid enough to give him a taste, help him develop confidence, and not mess up the rest of the team's effort or results. We have a play in game to make dangit!

    This is it in reality

    Maybe it works out, but the odds are against it

    Doesn't stop us Lakers fans from hoping he surprises

    I wonder how he’ll feel as a Laker after his pops bolts next summer.
    Then again, maybe a team with tons of cash won’t be up for paying a 60 year old $40-50 million a season for work on only half the court?

    Damn …. OK Bronny there seems to be collusion on LB freezing you out on the comments after your first game. So I’ll do it.

    Attaboy.

    You was able to get shots off at least so far in G League. two or three 3s were inside the rim but didn’t drop. Next pre-game lose the tablet or lapper on the bench and shoot more shots. Coach Redick is going to tell you to shoot LOTS of practice shots so they WILL drop in the games. Now in bed at 10 …. and brush your teeth.

    ;)

    You know game one went poorly when guys are saying, “his shots almost went in.”

    he didn't look at all out of place, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective.

    He looked perfectly fine for a guy who might turn into an end of the bench role player in three years.

    You know he'll be coming in this year in either kind of garbage time, up or down, and LBJ will be out there with him.

    I think they'll try to get a lot of that in during pre-season when there is zero stakes.

    Going off last year's schedule: Lakers started on 10/24 and South Bay on 11/10. So there will be a few chances in those early games for a little overlap. If I was taking it to Vegas, I think they see the floor together in 5 regular season games.

    Calling it now: we will see the patented Bron lob jam via a Bronny pass. That will be the one of the most circulated viral images not just of the season but for the history of the league. Bron understands moment better than anyone. He's shown that when replicating his own moves during significant milestones or even replicating a Kobe dunk for honoring purposes. he's already working on the Bronny-Bron one in his head. Guaranteed.
