re: LeBron says son Bronny can go to any college he wants: 'All I have to do is pick up phone'

He will be the next Ben Simmons in terms of impact on the college team

Something may be factual but also distasteful to say publicly. This is one of those things. That’s like a rich kid’s father saying “he just needs to tell me where he wants to work and I can get him a job there”

He’s a top-35 recruit and (top 30 in 2/4 main recruiting sites), and a McDonald’s all-American. Whatever he means, it’s nothing like some rich dude or Aunt Becky using their money and/or influence to get an undeserving student into a university, at least from a basketball perspective.

And I saw (not added below) an on3 graphic earlier listing the top-10 players by NIL value, and Bronny was #1 at $7.5 million which was > twice Arch Manning at #2. (Don’t think it’s coincidence both come from famous families).



So a top 30-35 player and All-American is already going to almost assuredly have the opportunity to go wherever he wants. But if he’s worth much more money because of his name, then that not only makes this much more true, it confirms what LeBron was saying.

quote:

---

"I think Bronny can go to any college he wants to," LeBron said an interview with The Oregonian. "All I have to do is pick up the phone. If Bronny says he wants to go there, he's good enough."

---

Saying “All I have to do is pick up the phone” isn’t great phrasing.

Saying he’s good enough at the end makes me think his intentions aren’t what they sound like but phrasing it that way makes people think you’re saying he can go anywhere he wants because he’s your son.

Which is probably true but not exactly the best implication for your son if you actually believe in him being good.

Honest question....if he was not LeBron's son do you think he'd be ranked that high. And I've asked the same of Arch. My perception is no neither would be.

Don’t be a cuck to China and he won’t get bitched about continuously.

He's a huge narcissist.

He's simply the best.

Fun Fact: LeBron James has scored at least 10 points in over 1,000 straight games and counting, a streak that began over 15 years ago.

James' current streak is so long now that it has surpassed the amount of regular-season games Michael Jordan played in his entire career. The King is putting this one out of reach for good.

That’s actually pretty ridiculous

quote:

---

I could see someone like Oats or Calipari politely telling Lebron to frick off.

That would be a dumb move.

Why doesn’t he just walk on wherever the frick he wants to go and LeBron pay for his college
