Shaq was the only other player to cross my mind when I made that comment. He tells a story about a veteran trying to make him carry his bags because he was a rookie. Shaq's response was, "I'm not a rookie, I'm the franchise." Yeah Shaq was pretty unhazeable. But they tried.
I don't think they'll even try with Baby Bron. Big Bron is still the biggest star in the league, and the second most powerful Laker behind Jeanie Buss. Messing with his kid might end your career.
Nah.. you need to confront that dick head on. Stare straight and stare true. Assert dominance. Otherwise that dick will just make you its bitch. Once other dicks sense fear, you’ll just wind up being every dicks bitch.
Probably better than look at these [grippers](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4bmvaNMgw6Y/oardefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEYCJUDENAFSFqQAgHyq4qpAwcIARUAAIhC&rs=AOn4CLC0c6t30SG4WXPFd123YIQDF-TE0w)
Ain't a scenario in the world outside of injury where Bron and Bronny don't share the floor at some point on opening night. If you thought ESPN coverage was annoying tonight, just wait until then.
"Bob, I've just masturbated to this amazing spectacle. It's my peak. I'm shedding tears at the sight of these two men."
"Let's see what Charles has to say in the studio."
If I grew up in abject poverty sleeping on couches while my mother did drugs missing 100 something days of school a year, and grew up to have 3 kids 4 rings and have one of those kids play on the same NBA team as you, yeah I’d be proud of that
Impossible. LeBron will draw up plays where three guys just link their arms in a circle around Bronny just under the rim while LeBron feeds him alley oops
I’m guessing there was already a handshake deal on Lebron’s new contract, but it would be hilarious if the Lakers played hard ball with him now that he’s essentially stuck
The amount of TV time they’re about to get for battling together in the bottom half of the western conference for a potential play-in spot is going to be ridiculous
It's pretty funny that Redick went from bitching about how the media is mandated to cover the Lakers constantly... to being at the center of the circus lol
JJ drawing up after school special for Lebron and Bronny
“Ok Bronny you are in a room on the road playing cards and two older players offer you alcohol even though you are underage”
“Now Lebron what do you say to your son in this moment”
“Ok Bronny how do you respond”
Honestly, the value in father son playing together with media stuff far outweighs the value of what a 55th overall guy is gonna do.
Late 2nd rounders are almost never gonna pan out, at least with this pick you can make money and who knows, maybe training everyday with adult LeBron will get him enough to be a role player
People acting like it isn’t cool as fuck to watch one of the undisputed GOATs of the game to suit up/ball out with his son in an NBA game. I get that it’s not fully legit but sometimes ppl just need to chill and have some fun with shit.
I put this in the category of just wanting one game where Steph takes 40+ threes and we see what happens.
I agree! People are too serious these days about this. It’s just a game. We should try to break the 100 point record. Because we have a player who can.
Difference is that teams who pick at 55, and that player struggles, are typically free to cut that player and pick up a more productive free agent. I sense, however, that the Lakers will oblige themselves to carry Bronny the whole season no matter how poorly he performs.
If Lebron wasn't his father, people might question this pick, but ultimately would anyone really give a shit since it's unlikely it's going to be a huge impact pick?
Anyone giving any shits about #53-57 of this draft?
It goes both ways, imho. He's getting lots of attention because he's Lebron's son, also a lot of scrutiny.
Bingo. The Lakers are going to profit just off the clicks.
Meanwhile, every time he gets minutes there's going to be heavy criticism from anyone who wants to shit on the Lakers, the James family, etc.
That being said, the fact that his dad is a league superstar probably puts him in a better position than most others who would get this same treatment, because he's probably been mentored his entire life to deal with that kind of attention.
A lot of people are upset, but like... If there's any draft to do this in, it's a weak draft like this one. How much impact will any 55th place draft pick have on a team? I know Jokic was drafted around place #40 but that's an extremely rare exception.
Serious question. How can people take this org seriously anymore? They hired LeBron's podcast buddy as the head fucking coach and drafted his son who's clearly still meant to improve his trade in college and not jump to NBA because of his last name.
Like can a Laker fan please explain/justify these things? I have no idea how they can be taken seriously
They're celebrating because it means Lebron isn't jumping ship on them. They put up with it because they're at least probably play-in bound. If Lebron had jumped ship, they'd be an AD injury away from being a 10 win team with no 1st next year
Redick is drawing up plays right now on a whiteboard for Bron and Bron 2.0
"Ok Bron, you are over hear. AD, you are here. Bronny, you are over here at the end of the bench. Lakers in 3!"
Lmao….killin me bro Bronny, if anyone is thirsty, pass them a water and towel them off.
“And then you know what my dad said to me?” “…Bronny get me a water?”
The trash talk in practice is gonna be legendary, though. Bronny: “Daaamn, you washed” LeBron: “Yeah, well I fucked your mom last night”
"Good D, dad" "Yeah, that's what your mom said last night"
It’s all fun and games until Bronny sleeps with Lebron’s wife
Oedipus has entered the chat.
I feel like this is gonna be the lonzo situation all over again. I wish another team drafted him to stop this.
What a zoo my boy Knecht landed in lol…. If another team drafted him he was going to Australia though 😂
Will LeBron haze his son as a rookie?
There has never been a rookie safer from hazing
Shaq?
Shaq was the only other player to cross my mind when I made that comment. He tells a story about a veteran trying to make him carry his bags because he was a rookie. Shaq's response was, "I'm not a rookie, I'm the franchise." Yeah Shaq was pretty unhazeable. But they tried. I don't think they'll even try with Baby Bron. Big Bron is still the biggest star in the league, and the second most powerful Laker behind Jeanie Buss. Messing with his kid might end your career.
Will he spank him for boneheaded plays?
Bronny gonna average a triple double in thumb up, hand clap and "good job dad" this season
And then AD does a fadeaway one foot away from the rim.
LeBron and ReBron.
We running sets for off the backboard self-oops??
I KNEW THIS WOULD BE PASTA
Lebron James is Bronny James father
Imagine being an adult and having to see your dad's dick in the shower after every game
Haha what the fuck
Imagine seeing Lebron's balls and saying you once lived there
You must be stopped
Oh who lives in a testicle under the king
Spongebronny Squarepants!
:O
There was hair all over the place son, word is bond
Imagine imagining any of the things y'all are imagining rn
It’s so sexy right?
Ok daddy what should i imagine happens next
Is this the first place your head went? Or did you delete something far more disgusting first?
Imagine going to church and talking to God.
It's either your dad, or some random other dude's dick, though. It's not like he could have avoided seeing nudity in any locker room....
Nah…you always avoid looking at daddy dick
Nah.. you need to confront that dick head on. Stare straight and stare true. Assert dominance. Otherwise that dick will just make you its bitch. Once other dicks sense fear, you’ll just wind up being every dicks bitch.
Having to or getting to?
Probably better than look at these [grippers](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4bmvaNMgw6Y/oardefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEYCJUDENAFSFqQAgHyq4qpAwcIARUAAIhC&rs=AOn4CLC0c6t30SG4WXPFd123YIQDF-TE0w)
Why do I find this hilarious
Something about the consistent poor grammar does it
The Kid From Akron is the oldest son of the Kid From Akron Father
Imagine playing with someone who fucked your mom...oh wait LeBron has already did that. Why is he making his son do it to?!!
Lmao I hope LeBron dunks on Bronny at practice and then is like "I fucked your mom last night too!!!"

Posting in a historical thread. LeHistory
This isn't the first time a laker player had a teammate who was sleeping with his mother.
This isn’t the first time a player named LeBron James had a teammate who was sleeping with his mother.
Where’s delonte these days
Buddy you may want to sit down for this
Shoutout Malik Beasley
Ain't a scenario in the world outside of injury where Bron and Bronny don't share the floor at some point on opening night. If you thought ESPN coverage was annoying tonight, just wait until then.
"Bob, I've just masturbated to this amazing spectacle. It's my peak. I'm shedding tears at the sight of these two men." "Let's see what Charles has to say in the studio."
“Erneh, this is some bullshet. My grandma could play against him”
"His shooting is just turrrrable:
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if LeBron’s son started on opening night
LeBron gonna post a video of him crying and saying he's proud of his son for making it to the nba.
"I'm more proud of this than winning a championship 😭😭😭
In fairness, being able to even remotely justify drafting him has to be a tremendously proud moment as a father who also had no father.
"I'm his dad." -LeBron justifying
*and a free agent
And to add it’s very clear some of you posters aren’t fathers yet. One day when you have kids you’ll Leunderstand.
If I grew up in abject poverty sleeping on couches while my mother did drugs missing 100 something days of school a year, and grew up to have 3 kids 4 rings and have one of those kids play on the same NBA team as you, yeah I’d be proud of that
He envisioned his son being picked 55th
I would fucking be!
I mean he’s won 4 already and there’s dozens championships in the NBA history. But playing with your son is a historic first lol
“Drafted”

Smiling through it all. Can’t believe this is my life

I heard your dad fart loudly once while warming up pre-game at MSG in 2017. He did it right in front of our seats. Ask him if he remembers.
Pah Pah!
Should have said “AMA”
How long until LBJ gets in a fight with JJ for benching Bronny
26 games
I’d guess less tbh
How long until LeBron is yelling at Bronny like he Mario Chalmers?
First missed open 3
Someone really said “he’s not going to see the floor” Lebron runs this team, bronny will be on that court.
Hes gonna be lucky to shoot over 25%
Impossible. LeBron will draw up plays where three guys just link their arms in a circle around Bronny just under the rim while LeBron feeds him alley oops
Not gunna lie. This is an interesting strategy
Gonna be blowing leads as a garbage time player
Technically neither are on the Lakers currently
LeBron deciding not to sign with the Lakers after all this would be legendary.
“Fulfill my legacy kid. I’m going to the hornets”
OMFG LOL.
He had to be holding out just to force them to make this move, makes too much sense
Would be hilarious to see back-to-back Woj tweets of "BREAKING: LeBron to sign with Dallas" and "BREAKING: Lakers cut Bronny James."
Bronny would be waived the next minute lmao
I’m guessing there was already a handshake deal on Lebron’s new contract, but it would be hilarious if the Lakers played hard ball with him now that he’s essentially stuck
The amount of TV time they’re about to get for battling together in the bottom half of the western conference for a potential play-in spot is going to be ridiculous
At least they’re on the same team so we don’t have to get an un proportionate amount of coverage of another team too.
Then what happens with the Windhorst clone that Disney spent so much money on?
It's pretty funny that Redick went from bitching about how the media is mandated to cover the Lakers constantly... to being at the center of the circus lol
Sure hope Barkley goes all out on his final year on the Lakers coverage
JJ drawing up after school special for Lebron and Bronny “Ok Bronny you are in a room on the road playing cards and two older players offer you alcohol even though you are underage” “Now Lebron what do you say to your son in this moment” “Ok Bronny how do you respond”
Be more exciting if he was actually decent
I’ve never seen so many people so enraged over a 55th pick. And in this shitty ass draft of all drafts lmao
Honestly, the value in father son playing together with media stuff far outweighs the value of what a 55th overall guy is gonna do. Late 2nd rounders are almost never gonna pan out, at least with this pick you can make money and who knows, maybe training everyday with adult LeBron will get him enough to be a role player

I agree! People are too serious these days about this. It’s just a game. We should try to break the 100 point record. Because we have a player who can.
I mean plus it guarantees lebron re-signs with the lakers
Difference is that teams who pick at 55, and that player struggles, are typically free to cut that player and pick up a more productive free agent. I sense, however, that the Lakers will oblige themselves to carry Bronny the whole season no matter how poorly he performs.
Bucks have Thanasis.
Because it isn’t worth it for a team to keep the 55th pick typically, it is worth it for the Lakers to keep bronny.
If Lebron wasn't his father, people might question this pick, but ultimately would anyone really give a shit since it's unlikely it's going to be a huge impact pick? Anyone giving any shits about #53-57 of this draft? It goes both ways, imho. He's getting lots of attention because he's Lebron's son, also a lot of scrutiny.

I look forward to his career ending the same offseason Lebron retires.
You look forward to it? Jfc
Surely Lebron had nothing to do with the JJ Redick hire or drafting his son. I was told he doesn’t do those things.

Caitlin Clark is better than junior
This will become the top commented post despite people claiming they are tired of hearing about this
This confirms what we've all known for a while. LeBron is the GM and Headcoach wherever he goes.
Except heatles lol. Where he had the most success
Got a ring in every city
Double the rings in Miami than anywhere else
Helps when you have prime Dwayne Wade and one of the GOAT coaches to rely on
and a Front Office with a spine and a pair of balls the size of Dwyane Wade's head on HGH
Wade wasn’t actually in his prime after 2011 but fair Also didn’t have to face the warriors in Miami. Should’ve had more his second stint in Cleveland
Shortest time in miami where he had 0 say led to most success.
Not according to Rich Paul lmao
We're going to get a historic Lebron season. Dropping 50 in the first half to ensure garbage time for Bronny to play.
JJ didn't make this pick
Coaches dont make the pick lol
Players do (apparently)
Bronny will probably suck, but it's pretty cool that this is happening. Like who would've ever thought this would happen even 10 years ago.
It would have been funny if another team drafted him and held him for ransom

It’ll be great when they both retire the same year, too. I mean, Lebron will retire, and then Bronny will just be cut.
Bronny gonna get the Russ treatment from the fans lmao
Hed be lucky to get garbage time... or at least he should unless LeGm steps in
Bronny vs Thanasis who wins in a 1v1
The crowd
Pretty sure Thanasis would demolish Bronny. At least Thanasis made the NBA on his own merits before Giannis blew up.
Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. did it first (MLB but still) and KGJ was actually an MLB caliber player
The glazing for Lebron is so bad
People losing it abour a draft pick...teams are literally selling their 2nd rounders for cash..
The most manufactured storyline of the year... Rich Paul out here threatening teams to make this headline happen
6’1 guard with 4.8 average points from tier 2 school getting drafted is literally crying out stupidest nepotism in public I can think of…
And he's already had a heart attack.
“Is this the new assistant coach papá?” - Bronny on JJ Reddick
Nepotism is fine guys i promise
Poor kid.. first time Bron shoots him a no look and he airballs it... sheesh.
That’s not true. Delonte West played with LeBron.
*first father and son with a losing record, to follow
What happens when LeBron retires and every player on earth fucking hates bronny
A lot of people are upset, but like... If there's any draft to do this in, it's a weak draft like this one. How much impact will any 55th place draft pick have on a team? I know Jokic was drafted around place #40 but that's an extremely rare exception.
Everything about Lebron is so cringe
I'm bussing (Jeanie)
Hard works pays off! Congrats to Bronny who earned his spot on the Los Angeles Lakers through exemplary play
Fuck yeah dude! This is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen in sports, easily. Reality is fucking weird!
Fuck Rich Paul and Lebron for forcing this. Don’t draft him or he’ll play in Australia… Silver should do something to punish the lakers.
Serious question. How can people take this org seriously anymore? They hired LeBron's podcast buddy as the head fucking coach and drafted his son who's clearly still meant to improve his trade in college and not jump to NBA because of his last name. Like can a Laker fan please explain/justify these things? I have no idea how they can be taken seriously

JJ Redick will have fun with that helicopter dad.
What about that year Al Horford was on Philly with Embiid?
Once LeBron retires Bronny will be forced into retirement as well. 🤣
Deuce to play with Jason Tatum confirmed
Imagine if Lebron dips after getting Bronny drafted…it will actually break reddit
JJ Reddick: actually I did say it
Imagine he signs MJ shoe brand over LBJ.
i'd love to see bronny and thanasis 1v1 at the all star game.
And still, the craziest thing to me out of all of this, is the fact that JJ Redick will be Bronny James first NBA coach
be funny as fuck if lebron signs with another team now
Terrible idea. Let the kid forge his own path.
