LeBron James reposts video of Austin Rivers strongly supporting newest 76ers player Jaylen Brown and his being outspoken off the court
Says alot about Bron given what Jaylen has said about Bronny in the past.
Bronny no longer a teammate so he can say how he really feels
“I’VE ABANDONED MY CHILD”
“I. DRINK. YOUR. MILKSHAKE. I DRINK IT UP!”
And here I was thinking the Kelvin Benjamin jokes had dried up.
Dude đđđ
Dude what?
IâVE ABANDONED MY BOY
What child? That’s a grown man, sir!
Anyone can say he’s a grown man, but not you, Bronny. Not you. You will forever be my child.
LeTting his real thoughts out
Le shut up
He said Bronny canât hoop and said it in front of two baddies, thatâs even crazier
Honestly that’s the worst thing he’s said.
Earth’s flat? I guess that’s contested. Plenty of flat-earthers.
Bronny can’t hoop? Fucking blasphemous.
From Bronâs perspective yeah it is the worst. Plenty of stupid people believe the earth is flat
Come on man, JB never said the earth was flat
JB is into astrology not flat earth.
both should be regarded as equally stupid
Bronny is a legit NBA player at this point
Heâs bad lol. Do you also say Julian Philips is a legit NBA player?
worse thing about it is that he did not do it on his stream lol, he was just lipread while talking privately lol
for all the things celebs can get caught talking about, he got caught talking about the son of a current player lol
JB interned at NASA hahaha
Dirty macking smh
Lol, he isnât some Redditor who unnecessarily holds grudges and makes indictments against people he doesnât even know. Iâm sure he knows JB, likes JB and respects him. He also did not like what he said about Bronny. Two things can be true.
What a profound insight into the dichotomy of man.
Also, he wasn’t lying so why get mad about it? You already secured your kid the bag, so why would he care?
So youâre saying heâs not JB?
also i donât get how people are so caught up in it. it was a private conversation. jb never meant it as anything negative. true or not it was simply an opinion he was thinking of at the moment
Life is way too short to hold grudges
He probably agrees deep down and has come to terms with it tbh.
what bro? heâs improved every year
How so? I’m sure you don’t have to agree with everything someone says, you can agree with some things and not others.
Well, I wonder if this means LeBron is coming to Philly…..
I kid, I kid lol, I just want to manifest it
Well, he has to get his contract first before helping Bronny find a team.
Theres a 0% chance they didnt talk it out
they squashed that Bronny stuff a while ago.
didn’t Jaylen said on his recent stream that he and Lebron spoke already and they’re cool with each other?
High iq players and fans see whatâs going on others persist with multiple narratives the media and now management have given.
But nothing about Jaylen? Lol, r/nba canât change.
AbsolutelyÂ
Your enemy is my friend. LeBron hates the media stirring shit about him as much as JB.
More importantly Jaylen Brown has openly gone at Stephen A Smith who LeBron also hates. In fact Smith better pray that no one surveys and releases a poll asking the current NBA players how many of them dislike him. His ego probably couldnât take it especially since he thinks he identifies with all of the âbrothasâ in the league.
Part of SASâs ego will love it because heâll think it means heâs important enough to be disliked. The other half will go on a diatribe saying heâs respects the player but donât give him a reason to say what he really feels. The cycle then repeats
It’s insane to me people don’t understand these players going at Stephen A is exactly what he wants
Trust me, Smith knows how many players can’t stand him.
Is this sarcasm? Theyre more addicted to attention and JB is constantly posting cague Twitter posts so people can speculate
Still think the whole “no anonymous sources” thing is wildly misplaced. That will always happen. Your problem is with shitty journalism, not with the concept of information with no name attached to it.
Anonymous sources are important for journalism and no amount of sports bitching will change that.
Important for real journalism.
Unfortunately an entire industry of shitty pseudo-journalism has grown on the back of social media and it feasts almost entirely on âanonymous sourcesâ. Sports and otherwise.
A real journalist isnât using an anonymous source without verification. Otherwise, youâre just participating in rumor mongering. You either confirm with 2nd and 3rd sources, or, you have physical evidence that is unassailable.
All this bullshit is not real journalism. Just talking heads and click baiters repeating whatever anyone told them, be it truth or not.
You donât kill the sacred to kill to profane
Whateva happened there
hey that line goes hard
This cow is not as sacred as you think in the modern era.
When the scales start tipping this far we have a serious problem. And we do. 85% of the under 30 crowd gets all their news and information from social media. The vast majority of which is unverified bullshit.
If you canât get somebody willing to go on the record, your words have become meaningless. Real journalists are just getting dragged down with the garbage.
You donât lessen enshrined rights cause the current culture is toxic to the truth
Exactly. Sports journalism is barely a real discipline. So much of it is just subtle manipulation and messaging between front offices and agents.
Sports commentators are not journalists and this confusion is too prevalent.
Anonymous sources fairly opens up accusations of making shit up. Cant just take it at face value.

It isn’t libel.
I declare bankruptcy libel!
Look up whatâs required for libel. Itâs a higher standard than you think. Sharing anonymous opinions is not libel. They can be super fake
I’m still amused by him responding to the reports of him always thinking he’s the smartest person in the room with “No offense to everybody in sports, but the bar is fuckin’ low.” confirming that he both does actually think that and also isn’t intelligent enough to realize “no offense, but (thing that can’t be taken any way but offensively) is a dumb thing to say.
Theres journalism then theres taking shots at people. Seeing how weâre not exactly dealing with factual information or scandals in sports journalism it comes across as throwing stones and hiding hands or trying to influence the league. To me this is fringe journalism
Son of a bitch I’m back in
I am from the future. We will get a photo within the next 2 months of LeBron and Saquon playing golf together đŤĄ
why are you like this
PhilLe back on I swear
We have LeBaron at home
Its previous owner was a Mr. John VoightÂ
How much you think season tickets gonna cost?
Heâs gonna milk this all offseason and Iâm on board
One of the best trolls in NBA history
I just donât get it, if itâs the Cavs what is the delay? Just do it already. Gives me hope as a sixers fan, but then again this is probably what he wants
Come to Philly Bron
surprised more players haven’t come out in support of JB. I know he ain’t the only player that feels like he does.
Agreed - some of the narrative thatâs been out on Brown recently seems ⌠strange
I think it’s ridiculous to think a team shouldn’t worry about a player’s attitude and off-court issues when acquiring them, at the same time I’ve never felt like JB’s posts or opinions have ever grown to be a basketball issue. He’s said some dumb shit but it’s never (visibly) affected his teams or availability.
respect to Bron for this. jaylen’s been getting clowned for speaking his mind but that’s what makes him who he is. people can disagree with what he says but can’t say he’s not authentic
Look, Jaylen Brown can be a bit difficult to deal with. I don’t think anybody is gonna deny that. He’s also intelligent, but nowhere near as intelligent as he thinks he is. I think most people agree with that. He runs his mouth too much sometimes. I know everyone is in agreement with that.
If that’s the worst you have to deal with though, is that really that bad? Teams put up with A LOT more bullshit than Brown brings. Shit, I’ve personally talked more shit about this man for the last three years than any other player in the league and even people like me (Sixers fan or not) think think this smear campaign is ridiculous.
What exactly warrants the statement he runs his mouth too much? He streams and chills with chat talks about his routine and basketball experiences he never says anything crazy or has any bad off court pr the whole my favorite season thing was spun by the media. Also you cant judge the intelligence of a man youâve never met or had a real conversation with stop using headlines to form your opinion
I’ll give you an example of running his mouth too much. “REALLY Nike, this is what we’re doing?” when he didn’t get picked as a replacement for the Olympic team even though Nike has absolutely nothing to do with that. I’m not talking about his twitch streaming or any of that stuff. He’s run his mouth plenty of times over the years. I’m obviously not talking about him chatting about his routine and basketball experiences.
I’m not judging his intelligence. I’m judging how smart HE thinks he is. That’s something very different. He’s a smart man, but he thinks he’s like scientist / philosopher smart.
I’m not shitting on him. I’m quite literally defending him.
If you think Nike had nothing to do with him not playing for team usa then you are as delusional as the dumbass from espn
If you think that Nike had anything to do with the Olympic team outside of sponsoring them and providing their uniforms, then I don’t even know what to say. That is batshit insane.
I now see why you’re defending Jaylen so much from a person that’s quite literally sticking up for him.

LeFreeSpeech
Omg we going to philly
My dumbass brain read the title as Lebron “reports” Austin for the video and I was like damn bro you wildin
I read this as Austin Reaves, and i was like what
NBA being politically active and outspoken is a long tradition.
What are we even talking about. He’s getting paid $60m a year to play basketball. Why are so many people coming into his defense. He’s fine and he’ll be fine
Because, at best, a front office got cheap, traded away one of their best players for scraps, and then ran a smear campaign to try to justify a money move. It’s incredibly similar to what your franchise did with Luka.
austin rivers talking about taking players that can hoop… i’ve watched you trough your whole career, 11 years of sub-par nepo baby basketball. please.
LeBron isn’t going to the 76ers. They haven’t shown they can win at the highest level.
Brown is a fantastic player, but he isn’t moving the needle for 76ers.
âSwapping 36 y/o PG13 with a recent FMVP coming off an MVP candidate season doesnât move the needle for the 76ersâ
It doesnât
I see we are still in the denial stage
Crazy a sixers fan would say this lol
Its okay, buddy. You’ll get through this. We’re all here for you â¤ď¸
I appreciate the support, Iâm just impressed with yalls resilience
Personally I don’t understand how a sixers fan can’t be happy with getting rid of PG for someone as good as Brown.
Well you answered the question in your comment
Theyâre sixers fans, they should know better lol
No because you are claiming that jaylen Brown doesn’t make them a better team, i assume by that logic the Celtics are a better team for getting washed PG?
You can always spot a person with hater brain by their compulsions to drop their meaningless platitude sentences. Yeah, LeBron returned to Cleveland because the franchise had “shown they can win at the highest level” when he was gone in Miami đ
Even the Lakers were 126-284 (.307) in the five seasons before he joined.
Who said this was anything about him coming to the Sixers? It’s good to see people supporting Jaylen Brown after all the terrible sensationalistic reporting this offseason.
This is a dumb ass comment you couldâve said the same about Cleveland before 2016
No flare private account đ¤
Loser
LeBron specifically isnât signing with the Knicks anymore because they won at the highest level
