Dude has 0.0% chance at the nba at his size and shooting skill
I mean this isn't true. He will be in the NBA because of his dad yes. but he still isn't a horrible player. More like Gleague or overseas worthy.

I wonder if narratives change if Eli, Peyton, and Cooper (and Arch) go to John Curtis and dominate in the Dome

The average height of an nba guard is 6’2 so not really a big deal
If you're 6'2" in the NBA you better be able to create your own shot and more importantly, SHOOT. Bronny has a terrible shot.
He was a crappy college player (albeit inexperienced). No reason he should be on a roster unless it is to keep Lebron or entice Lebron to come to your team for a year.

Yeah, let’s take the kid whose heart stopped while doing basketball drills and put him in the NFL

He didn’t have a heart attack
I didn’t want to be the one to say it, but man…. It seems like everything surrounding this kid is just planned ahead to to coddle him and to prevent failure and mockery.
Like just the little shite about being 3 inches shorter than actually listed lol. The heart attack stuff comes off like a fail safe thing to use as to why he wasn’t one of the best players in college last year. I mean everything you see is the sports media using the heart attack stuff as an excuse.
It just comes off as nepotism and narcissism at it’s finest and everyone is scared to call it out. It’s sort of ridiculous that we know the measurements of Bronny all over ESPN yet I have no idea who’s likely to be drafted #1

This Yahoo Sports chick is absolutely gassing us up on Bronny. I'm not sure I have seen propaganda like this in a long time.

Bronny James making name for himself at NBA Draft Combine: 'There needs to be that divide between Bronny and LeBron'
quote:
The combine kicked off on Monday with measurements, agility testing and shooting drills. James took the court with the last group of the day. He looked visibly stronger compared to the college season and in great shape. His official measurements came in at 6-foot-1 1/2 (without shoes), 210.4 pounds and a 6-7 1/4 wingspan. The first portion of the agility testing was the vertical jump, and he recorded a 40.5 max, the third-best score of the combine.
After the agility testing it was time to hit the court for a handful of shooting drills, 3-on-3 drills and pick-and-roll reps. Bronny started off slow, trying to find his rhythm like most players throughout the day. It wasn't until the 3-point star drill (25 shots running from all five spots on the court continuously) when he really started to shine. He made 12 in a row, not missing a 3-ball in a full 1:15, and went 19-for-25, finishing in second place behind UConn's Alex Karaban, who hit 21-of-25 attempts.
Bronny supported the other players in his group when they were going through drills, took feedback from the coaches and never once looked out of place. NBA scouts and executives left the first day of drills impressed with his 3-point shooting and intrigued by him as a legit NBA prospect.
"It's clear he understands the NBA game," one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports. "He still has a long way to go, but the college game is vastly different from the NBA, and he has a skillset that translates."
During Day 2 of the combine Tuesday, Bronny took the court for the first 5-on-5 scrimmage. He started for Team St. Andrews and shared the court with college players that were leaders on their respective teams all season: Antonio Reeves (Kentucky), Mark Sears (Alabama), Dillon Jones (Weber State), Baylor Scheierman (Creighton) and Jesse Edwards (West Virginia). Bronny was making the extra pass, moving well off the ball and was solid on the defensive glass. He was physical and ran the floor well while not forcing anything. Team St. Andrews took home the win and Bronny finished with 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in 20 minutes.
quote:
It would be one thing if he showed up to the combine, completely bombed on testing and continually got beat on the court, but that's not happening. Bronny is competing at a high level and showing he's coachable. Every scout and executive in the building can see how his game will translate to the NBA, regardless of who his dad is.
"Everything that follows my dad, people just try to link me with that and all the greatness he’s achieved and I haven’t done anything yet," Bronny said. "So there needs to be that divide between Bronny and LeBron. I just want to let people know that my name is Bronny James and not being identified as LeBron James’ son."
There has never been another player in high school, college and now the NBA Draft who has been more scrutinized than Bronny. Through it all, he is showing that he's a legitimate prospect outside of his famous father's last name.

how much do you think Rich Paul and Klutch Sports are paying these journalists to write this garbage?

At this point I feel bad for the dude.
The entire media is leading him to the massive fall he's going to have. He hasn't even really said anything or done anything wrong.
Only thing he's done that's not going to help is eating up all the underserved help. No player is going to love the straight up nepotism of his existence on a roster.

Can he enter the 3pt contest without being in the NBA?

hopefully, Bronny doesn’t turn out like Magic Johnson’s son (although he could absolutely dominate the WNBA if he wanted to) lol

I’m saying in hindsight football would have been far better suited for him
There’s a whole lot more that goes into making a good football player besides his measurables
I doubt bronny has any of the intangibles or the skill set to play football
It feels like we’ve already done this thread recently

What??? I’ve heard a lot of compliments thrown the Mannings’ way over the years… never once heard how tough they are
They might be, but you’re clearly lying to prove your point

Which family had a guy retire early due to injuries and which family has a guy who is still playing at elite/unprecedented levels at age 40?

To be fair, if they woulda pumped Archie with as much HGH as lebron, he’d probably still be playing
