quote:
“Bronny is first and foremost a person of high character. And secondly, he’s a young man who works incredibly hard,” Pelinka said. “Those are the qualities we look for in drafting players and adding to our developmental core at the Lakers. He had a great draft workout with us where he displayed those qualities. In terms of his work ethic, we’ve all seen that lived out, too. He’s not a person who has ever taken shortcuts or expected or been entitled about basketball opportunities.”

Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets are considering sending their #3 pick in the draft in the G-League...

Now Bron has no room to talk about “privileged” regardless of what color your skin is. This is the very true definition of not being good enough to start on your college team but yet able to skip the G-League and sign multi year deal after avenging 4 points a game.

I don’t know much about the NBA, but aren’t all of their player contracts guaranteed? I thought that was a big item that differentiated NBA contracts from NFL.

Dude getting a solid deal after being described like Jacob Hester would be.

Wow! Now that's the very definition of privilege.
I hope LeBron now understands that Green is the only color that matters, not Black or White

Looking forward to seeing where he ends up on the biggest NBA busts rankings.

how can he be a bust if he was one of the last picks of the drafts

4.8 points 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists a game is not NBA material. Drafted on last name only.

"first and foremost a person of high character. And secondly, he’s a young man who works incredibly hard" .... uh, there are thousands of players that fit these standards. Why didn't the Lakers draft them?

This is code for daddy restructured his contract so his son can get paid and make it look like the lakers really are committed to Bronny as a player.

tell me it's all about the exposure and money and you aren't worried about winning without telling me that.

Lebron and his family are gonna run that organization farther into the ground.
