[Highlight] LeBron and Bronny James run the pick-and-roll, leading to a Bronny floater
Bronny developing better than some of those first round picks in that draft
Rob dillingham will almost certainly be worse than Bronny lol
Bronny gives you good defense, doesn’t take bad shots, very athletic for his size, and is only twenty years old
Bronny is gonna be a decent player. Getting him at 55 was unironically good value
Getting him at 55 was unironically good value
The real investment wasn’t the pick or the money, it was the guaranteed contract - 4 years with a team option after 2.
It’s been 2 years of investment in a team slot and Bronnie has played 34 games this season, started once and is 17th on the team at 7.1 mpg - below kobe bufkin, or 15th in total minutes…
He still has room to grow, (he’s only 20 years old) but he’s still very much an outside the rotation player/end of the bench player at the moment..
But if the lakers don’t pick up the option, Bronnie might still get a contract from another team as a fringe end of bench minimum player and earn his way up higher. At the moment, he is clearly better than Knecht, but Knecht is more likely to get a contract from someone hoping a change of scenery will rejuvenate Knecht. Bronnie is more consistent, composed and looks like he belongs, but he isn’t showing those peak flashes yet to becoming a rotation player. Likely next year
The real investment was Bronny making them upwards of $50 mil in jersey sale revenue. In his first year.
doesn’t take bad shots
he doesn’t take good shots either.
Still TBD. I’d like to remind everyone that he shot 31% from the field last year
He’s been shooting pretty decent in the last few games he’s been in
not this one
Lol, yeah I jinxed it
On 67 total shots.
You know the kid had to recover from a cardiac arrest? Stop being a hater because you can’t even pass on good genes to your offspring.
Luke Kennard has logged more minutes for the Lakers than Bronny James. So has Maxi Kleber, Gave Vincent and Nick Smith Jr? Who even is Nick Smith Jr?
It’s a nice moment, but they’re literally playing the Wizards. Bronny averages 7 minutes a game if he gets in the game at all
Luke Kennard is literally one of the best shooters in NBA history, he’s also been great at LA
Kleber plays an entirely different position
Sunk cost fallacy was giving Gabe minutes but Bronny has been better than Gabe was
Nick Smith isn’t even on the team anymore lmao what
That’s what I’m saying. How can you say Bronny is going give you anything when the only minutes he plays are in garbage time. Can we see him against actual competition or in meaningful basketball situations before we make any conclusions about his “game”
Who is he even defending?
This clip is literally in the first quarter.
Sure it’s Washington but this isn’t “garbage time”
The Wizards are 17-57. They’re competing for the worst team in the league with the 17-58 Pacers. Their entire season is garbage time
Every game starts 0-0. Take them for granted and they’re gonna be 18-57 lmao
Literally scored 26 in the g league and hit 3 threes to seal the game
Y’all need to stop dude. “It’s g league!!!” Still nba level talent there
It’s funny to see people loathe him and just completely deny that there’s any upside to him. He was the 55th pick.
Luke Kennard is the best 3 point shooter by percentage in the league.. What are you talking about
You guys are comparing Bronny James to actual rotation NBA players. That’s what I’m talking about
Kennard isn’t 20 u bum. Get better at trolling
Would this be a highlight if it wasn’t LeBron James’ son?
Maybe? 20 year old 55th pick who survived a cardiac arrest? He probably has a few headlines.
Look at Topic for example
It’s a highlight because its a father son duo running the pick and roll? Which hasn’t happened outside of the two ever?
No? They were comparing him to 1st rounders that don’t play and Dillingham.
Bro does NOT know ball
U right. Since you do, how many minutes is Bronny going to average in the playoffs so I can put my bets on Kalshi? He gives you good defense and doesn’t take bad shots and shoots 41.9% from 3, surely JJ can find minutes for such a gem
Breaking news, 2nd year, 20 year old, 2nd round pick, won’t get playoff minutes on a competitive team. Crazy right? No one is saying he’s gonna be a star people just believe he can be an actual contributor at some point dumb ass.
Don’t even need to look too far. He’s already outperforming Knecht, and I’m not even a huge Bronny truther lol.
Knecht is buns, crazy the fall off he had in just a 1 year span
He only really had a good 3 months
Honestly it’s a confidence issue, he plays so scared bc he’s too afraid of making mistakes. Can’t blame him, with all the attention he gets.
He just feasted in the g league last night. He’s probably riding some of that confidence
Better than Knecht that’s for sure
Bronny got those hard worker genes
Not a lakers fan but can’t help but smile at this. Its always special when fathers get to play with their sons, and amazing that it can even happen at the pro level.
You, a Celtics fan, are not a fan of the Lakers?!
I’ll be damned
I have to sit down for this
It’s also nice to see all the hate this guy got even here like “this is a disgrace, how can Lebron draft his son and waste the 56th pick or whatever, this is nepotism”, and then he ends up being better than half the draft class.
Of course having Lebron give you tips all the time, like do this do that, also being around a talent like Doncic, that sort of stuff will superboost his development. Marcus Smart as well. But if it wasn’t in him, that shit doesn’t matter
I hope LeBron and Bronny spend the rest of the season just grinding for an opportunity to recreate the Wade assist -> LeBron dunk photo
We’re on his shit since Bronny started playing basketball. I mean at this point, I just want to Bron assist dunk for Bronny or whatever
Which LeBron gets to reenact the LeBron in that highlight?
Yes
LeBackyard Basketball
Still think tanking is a bad thing?
Who needs to tank? All you need is get a 40 year old HoF on your team and you can get their athletic undersized son for free
You know Bronny probably has imagined this sort of scenario a million times in his head watching his dad when growing up. You love to see it.
Any play involving Bron and Bronny will always be cool..
Imagine playing an NBA game and you see your son roll of your pick for a floater, that’s something
The closest I’ve come is watching my create-a-player in 2K go for 84(suck on that Bam)
this is actually sick af
Leduo
LeLeBron
bro created his teammate
I like it and I don’t want to sound like a hater or something, but is this running a PnR ?
I just see Bron setting a good screen for Bronny going for the oops.
You don’t have to hit the roll guy for it to be a PnR. Bron opening up after the screen occupies the man for long enough that he can’t help the on ball defender. You see the defender go to help but has to stunt since its Bron.
Bronny will never be a star, but he has the tools, attitude, and the motor to be a valuable rotation player
Claps Hercuh leez ..Hercuh leez..Hercuh leez (Krumps)
He must be so proud
That’s just a pick no roll, but nice play
LeSperm at it again
How fkn cool is it to be teammates with your dad in the NBA damn
Bronny career high this game
