Guess everyone is different, but if you're an true competitor, and had all the name advantage up to this point, you'd think you'd at some point do everything possible not to follow your daddy and his pull and try to make it to league on your own.
What should he have done?
Tell his dad...I'm not a kid anymore...no need to pull strings.... let me see if i can make it elsewhere on my own.
I hear what you’re saying but don’t think that’s all that easy.
Lebron is one of two greatest players of all time and I think it's always been a dream of his to play with his son. It's not like the Lakers took him in the first round and it's also not like experts didn't think he deserved to go somewhere in the 2nd round. Personally, I think it's good for the NBA and probably good for Lakers buzz next year. No big deal imho.
The worst part about it was ESPN's coverage of day two.
Seems like a solid kid. He may have been drafted anyway, maybe not. The question is what type of contract does his dad get him: guaranteed NBA, two way, or G-League contract?
I saw this a lot of places. Didn’t see day 2, anything crazy that happened in particular?
Another example of a "Hollywood Nepo Baby". If he wasn't LeBron's kid, he would not have been drafted. As soon as LeBron retires, let's see what happens to Nepo Baby.
Stephen A Smith says shut up I don’t want to hear about nepotism.
No, no nepotism here. Started 6 games at USC, averaged less than 20 minutes a game and less than 5 points but “experts” projected him a 2nd round pick, same as Tristan Newton and Cam Spencer.
Not sure which is more appropriate, throwing the BS flag or just laughing at the absurdity.
To be clear, not rooting against the kid at all, but he was drafted because of who his father is, plain and simple. In doing so, a much more deserving player lost his earned opportunity, so very classless move IMO.

They zagged harder than you'd have thought:
No, but -- without exaggeration -- they talked about Bronny for probably half or a little more of the whole broadcast. It was almost distasteful since they ignored picks being made left and right. There was also a segment where nepotism wasn't a bad thing, which gave off a very weird, insincere vibe.

Good thing Tobias Harris didn't have me as an advisor. I thought he made a huge mistake by going to Tennessee, and an even more huge one by leaving school too early.
