Honestly, idk how he's supposed to do that. He's had the best facilities (including a full gym inside his house) and the best coaching in the world, and he still has hands of stone, and he can't shoot. He wasn't a starter on his college team, and was in double figures only 3 times (scoring 10, 11, and 15 pts), and scored zero points in 4 games that he played.

If I was a Lakers fan (AND THANK GOD I'M NOT, HAWK TUAH), I would be absolutely livid right now that the franchise has fallen so low as to allow a player on their team to dictate player personnel matters such as this. Taking up a valuable roster spot with a GUARANETEED MUTI-YEAR CONTRACT to satisfy the ego of a player who alone is not winning you a championship anytime soon. As I said when I started this thread, I am loving every minute of the dumpster fire that this franchise has become.

it is so hilarious to me how much pressure bron put on his kid. they need to send out assets to get off players just to clear room to make signings, but it's clear players don't wan't to sign there. it's also clear that pelinka doesn't trust that they're going to be good in a few years to send out future picks, which is the only thing teams want because their players are negative value as trade assets.

what a shame! :)

The same critics that his dad? Maybe the best player ever?

Bronny is an adult in a professional league, he's not free from people being critical of him.

As long as it’s realistic. He looks like a #55 pick in arguably the worst draft in NBA history. What’s there to critique? People are critiquing because of the nepotism, not the ineptitude. That’s what I don’t like. What other player picked in the 50s is getting blasted everyday. Let’s at least be honest on WHY.
 
The best way to view Bronny is completely inside a vacuum. Just judge him as a #55 pick.

granted the opportunity is being handed to him on a silver platter, but for me it’s the only thing that makes sense to accurately assess the dude
 
My big issue is Lebron hyping his kid being better than half the players in the NBA. Bullshit statement that added tremendous amount of pressure to his son. There was no need to be arrogant and make a statement like that.

If clowns think he was being serious, that’s on them. Nobody anywhere took that as a legit statement, and if you truly believe players around the league read it and that added pressure on the kid, you just don’t understand how this league works.

Man I hate when people feel like they have to insult to get a point across. Do I think he was serious yes I do. The same guy appointed himself the king. Held a huge promotional event to announce he was leaving for Miami. Is he joking maybe, is he arrogant 100%. I also believe that he believes his son is better than he is. Not that that’s a crime because most parents think that. Sorry not a fan of him but do wish his son good luck and hope he is successful

why the madness? Because ESPN pushed the Caitlin Clarke hype button for Bronny. The Los Angeles media basically turned a #55 pick into clickbait.

As unfortunate as this sounds, a late 2nd round rookie might be a scapegoat for an incompetent LAL Front Office.

the Lakers were supposed to go after ballers this summer. Top Free Agents, home run trades. Woj and ESPN put every FA and trade rumor in a fake Lakers jersey, then made a big speech on television.

Instead of Showtime fireworks this summer, NBA fans were served a massive dose of LeBron's kid. A rookie who probably can't help the team win next season.

>> if Bronny was developing on a rebuilding tanking team, there wouldn't be issues. He's on the Lakers. They're supposed to be gunning for a championship.

Lakers have a team with 2 MVP candidates. They are a premier NBA team that gets maximum TV coverage.

A lot of frustration is from Laker fans. They get Cronin cap space & flexibility speeches from their GM. The only move to improve the team was drafting Knecht. But Dalton is also a rookie. Laker fans aren't the brightest light bulb in the shop, but they're not dim enough to put high expectations on rookies.

Where's the TV money?? The Lakers absolutely can afford a jump over 2nd apron to grab another superstar. Budget cut Lakers with a team that won a Championship, and made the WCF, is a deflating situation for their fanbase.

I really don't take anything LeBron says seriously. He's an athletic freak (like among the freakiest big athletes of all time) and because of that he's had the best training and opportunities anybody could ever hope for.

It's a hell of a hand to be dealt. And he's done well with it.

But that's it. Other than that he's just a clown.

Wow! This is a terrible take. The dude is just a clown? Besides doing well with training and "opportunities". Like you think this dude just got lucky? He's probably the best basketball mind ever to play the game at an all NBA level. Somehow, maybe because the dude is a genius and not a clown, the dude has made money moves that put every NBA player not named Michael Jordan to shame. Not just his salary or endorsements, the guy has a huge and varied portfolio. Not to mention he is the original client of Klutch Sports and pretty much made Rich Paul one of the most powerful names in American professional sports. There is a larger list than just Rich Paul too. There is a ton of money that LeBron has given to and raised for very functional grass roots charities, that have real time and real life impacts on people.

So calling the guy a clown who just got "dealt" "a hell of a hand" is preposterous. Yeah, I think he is the freakiest athlete of all time given his size, athletic explosiveness and the refinement of skills that he had at just 17 when he was first really featured in the national spotlight but the business empires that this guy has been a huge part of since then have blown away all but four other athlete in the history of sports, in terms of net worth. Still you don't take him seriously...

Every parent on earth thinks their kids are better than they are. Fact!
This is what I’m talking about. People are hating on this kid for WHO he is, not what he’s doing.
 
Laker fan bad take of the day:

Christian Wood
... is better then Wendell Carter Jr.

Stat check:
C-Wood, 6pts 5reb, 46% FG
WCJ, 11pts 7reb, 52% FG

ummm, too much smog in LA might be frying brain cells

People in this county (especially the younger ones) hate on rich successful people, no matter what race.
Once rich....... they all become "entitled" in their eyes.
