    that video guy just sucks. i get that he's built a brand on freaking out about every play, but i'm not going to help him. half the time, he's wrong, imo.

    it was unwatchable. I gave him :60 seconds of my life, and it was too much already

    low? mind your own business. i'm sure your second round pick will be out of the league in a couple years, too. but you have the luxury of everyone forgetting about it because nobody cares about your team.

    your argument is that bronny would have fared better in memphis or minny or whatever? or if he went back to college? whatever. the fact that you could be bothered to comment is kinda funny in itself.

    you were "shocked" that the son of an all-time great wasn't an all-time great? you been living under a rock, dip****?

    exactly. when did bronny or anyone else claim he was going to be an nba superstar? "setting him up for failure"? with a 4-year guaranteed nba contract?

    yay for him? which would you rather?

    pretty much. most second rounders wash out. we took a league and franchise icon's son with a super late pick and gave him the salary his father gave up in his re-up.

    article title: set up for failure. get better at writing.

    another level-headed take buried by the tone/lede.

    ...hopefully while not having any bridges to burn...



    anyway, pretty bad writing and a lot of it.

    I think people are being unfair to Bronny. It’s easy to criticize a young guy who just got into the league and label him a "daddy's boy" without giving him the chance to prove his worth. I believe in him...

    What would Kobe do Bronny? Ask Pops. Hell ask Pops what he does when stuff's not working right. Put in the LONG hours working physically and practicing on your own time and fix it. It'll come. Your pride is going to kick in here, I would imagine.

    Never let the facts and basketball get in the way of Jeanie making more millions- she really needs more because of the hyper inflation.

    It’s crazy how I can go weeks at a time without hearing about Bronny outside of this site. Nobody is worrying about the 55th pick of the draft. It’s almost as if the embarrassment only comes from within the Lakers fandom and rage bait morning shows.

    Media is working they a** off to show who is Bronny but he is 55 pick
    how about those two
    Bronny James is tied for the 2nd WORST plus/minus in the preseason so far, along with Jordan Poole and 2nd overall pick Alex Sarr
    Worst plus/minus of this season is still owned by John Konchar from «Memphis» with the result -48
    Konchar was undrafted ,but nobody gives a f*** about him.

    I'm perfectly fine with him getting that shift out of the way with Bron during opening night or opening week. They'll want it at home and on national TV. They NEED to get it over with because until they do the question will be looming at every practice, every pre-game, and every post-game. A 3 minute shift in the 2nd or 3rd Q will not make or break one of those games.

    It's a really cool moment for Bron, who's the face of our team (like it or not), is still the face of the league, and will go down as the GOAT career of any NBA player. Whether he's your GOAT or you want to take the peaks of MJ or Kobe or Magic or Cap over him, but the longevity of which he's been a world beater. If you put his averages on pieces of paper, pull them out of a hat you can't tell the difference from him at his true prime vs. last season. Enjoy it. Celebrate it as a fellow dad/Lakers fan/fan of cool s*** that has never happened before and might not happen again. Then we'll move on from it and everyone can shut up about how he's the downfall of Lakers civilization.

    He probably rips up a knee this year and then leans on Bronny to limp off of the court for the last time.

    and everyone said amen
