And again, you didn't answer the question. Where am I arguing whether or not Shareef Oneal should have played in 20 games one year in the G-League?

you aren't asking a real question. Where would bronny be drafted if he had my genes instead of Lebrons? obviously worse because he wouldn't have measured well in the vertical jump in the combine and people wouldn't be hoping he would turn into anything close to Lebron.

Wtf kind of question is that.

You're dodging the question. You just don't want to say it's nepotism.

You think he is only on an NBA G league/summer league team because of nepotism?

Why are you having such a hard time following this and only reply to a question with another question?

I think he was 100% drafted because of his father. He has only ever played in an NBA game because of nepotism. It's pretty simple. Anybody with a brain knows this. He played in more NBA games last year than the G-League MVP has in his 3 year career, but JD Davison's dad isn't LeBron. He is at the maximum, a mid tier G-league player but is getting NBA minutes because of his dad.

It’s an opinion question that’s perfectly valid. You just don’t want to answer it.

You pass yourself off as someone who is educated about and knows basketball, yea?

I'm starting to wonder if you guys deny genetics are real or think genetics = nepotism.

He would be given chances on genetics alone without Lebron using his influence.

Damn you really are struggling today lol. Let’s try this again:

You pass yourself off as someone who is educated about and knows basketball, yea? This ahould be a simple yes or no question. Do you feel that you know a lot about basketball?

Link where I said Bronny was good?


This has to be the greatest cope melt bizarro twist ever

You have spent 10pgs arguing hes good. If you thought he wasnt good then you would have to agree with EVERYONE else that he doesnt deserve to be in the NBA


Holy shite you liberals are stupid about everything

But just not enough to share your opinion. Got it.

If you aren’t comfortable doing that, we probably shouldn’t really trust anything you say. Probably best to sit this one out going forward.

Coming from the guy that will not acknowledge that somehow nepotism played a part whatsoever that a guy who averaged 5 points per game on bad shooting numbers gets drafted by his dads team simply because he had the sixth highest standing vertical

It isnt my opinion that Bronny's potential is tied to LeBron's genes. It's a fact. He's a medium ceiling/low floor prospect. He wants to develop into a defensive specialist like Gary Payton Jr.

Gary Payton Jr didnt reach the NBA until he was 24 and didnt average over 4 points per game until he was 29. I dont see any reason he cant replicate that with hard work

I honestly do not understand how people who refuse to acknowledge this can live a normal daily life lol

Oh boy lol

Ok. Let’s assume that’s “fact”

In your opinion, what’s the % breakdown on him being drafted:
-due to his on court play up until this point
-because of who his dad is

It’s really simple. Just give us two numbers.

Your comp is Gary Payton Jr? Seriously? Gary Payton Jr who averaged 15/8/4 with 3 steals a game his two years in college and was All Pac 12 twice, All Pac 12 defense twice, and Pac 12 DPOY twice. Who was 10x the college player Bronny ever was and went.... UNDRAFTED. That Gary Payton Jr?

Gary Pay, who's dad was also a Hall of Famer, so he checks the genes mark for you. Who also finished 7th in vertical jump at the combine so he checks that mark for you. But yet, UNDRAFTED.

Bronny, who started six games his entire career and averaged less than two baskets a game, deserved to be drafted
