Lmao.. A father does what any father will do.
Hype up his son.
You then spend a considerable amount of time criticising the boy, oya spend the same amount of time praising the boy when he does well.

Atleast to balance the scale. It's not like bronny is a bum who can't play.

You don't have to glaze LeBron on every issue. On this matter LeBron F,ed up.

Stephen A has never criticised Bronny, in fact his criticism has always being directed towards LeBron for rushing him into the league and placing Bronny under unnecessary scrutiny.

Potato Potata.
You say Bronny isn't good but then you bring in his father by claiming he is forcing it.

When it's bad, LeBron is the one responsible by forcing his son to be in a bad situation.
But when it's great, will LeBron get praised or will his son get his flowers?


Another question is this, what crime did LeBron as a father commit by hyping his son?


And let's not forget Stephen A is like the rat that bites you while blowing breeze on the same spot so you don't feel it.

When he does well? Where and when? The G-League? Did the Lakers burn a 1st round pick for him to play in the G-League? What is criticism? What exactly are we supposed to balance it with?

The Slimreaper with the last second dagger to send the game to OT.

Bruh.....
Jokic just put up the first ever 30-20-20 statline in NBA history.....

31 points, 21 rebounds, 22 assists....

What first round pick?
What was so significant about the pick Bronny James that it caused the lakers irreparable damage.
Explain to me how Bronny getting picked has ruined the lakers?
Because I don't get this.
Let's assume that the uproar for nepotism was expected, why is LeBron being blamed for Bronny playing? What do you mean by Bronny is being forced by LeBron to play?
Do you know the man?
LeBron can be anything but does that man look like the person that would want his child to purposely face this level of backlash just because of some "glory".

Today you people claim he forces the lakers to play Bronny, please I hope this "forcing lakers to do stuff" extends to him getting all the praise ALONE for where they currently are.
I WOULD HOPE WE MAINTAIN THE SAME ENERGY THIS SEASON? DEAL?

"He did what any father would do,” says yet another emotional commentator who refuses to think critically. Stephen A. Smith’s criticism wasn’t a personal attack on Bronny as a child or a person—it was an objective take on basketball talent. The only way LeBron’s actions make sense is if he prioritized sentiment over merit.

Bronny wasn’t ready for the league, just like he wasn’t truly ready for college ball. Yet, instead of letting him develop properly, LeBron played the “Dad card.” Other NBA fathers—Gilbert Arenas, Carmelo Anthony, Mychal Thompson, Shaq—understood that their kids had to earn it. They didn’t try to force-feed the public with the idea that their sons belonged in the league before proving it on the court.

Stephen A. isn’t wrong. Millions of NBA fans see the same thing—Bronny isn’t league-ready neither was he college ready. That’s not hate. That’s just the truth.

Yes, he is; because he has glazers like you.

And yet Stephen A. has consistently called out Bronny with sleezy comments like "Bron stop forcing the boy" the fvck

When you defend your opinions it's not emotional but when I defend mine then it's emotional. How hilarious.

Mention another 55th pick getting picked on by the media like Bronny in the last 10yrs.
OH because he is Bron, he should not hype up his son.

Don't worry, when it's your turn then you can keep quiet about your own child 😁

Mtcheeew.. This one na even mumu

Another emotional take. Bronny is not league ready. Simple as that. Cry all you want. SAS was right and right not to back down on his statement.

You can hit your head on the wall, maybe then your brain can finally function well to understand 🤣.

Till then let's keep it moving

As much as I love LeBron, I can't wait till he retires so we can stop being forced fed LeBron related content everyday.

Listen fam, you have not answered any of my questions. Bronny is doing well, where? In the NBA, G-League or during practice?

Bronny’s time in the NBA has only proven that he isn’t ready for the NBA and that is the irrefutable fact. You are the one spinning this everywhere because of your attachment to Ajala.

The NBA is a professional league, when you make irresponsible comments that disrupt the development of the kid, you should also be able when it fails.

"Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on league today," James tweeted. "S*** lightweight hilarious." - LeBron 2024.
Proceeds to swipe the emotional Dad card because people held his son to the required expectation.

Omo, I still can't believe the Mavs traded Luka for a sack of street clothes and 2 picks.

As in……

By the way, Jokic is once again the MVP of this league. He is top 5 in all major statistical categories, it's never been done before....

Wrong!!! It's Shai Alexander; he's the MVP.



On a serious note, he's unbelievable.

Pls my boy, SGA for the award...Even though Jokic stats are unreal

Shai can have it, just so it doesn't look like a personal property. Same way it was given to Embid. But as far as who the best player in the NBA is, it's definitely Jokic.

Ok, one question. Is Bronny the worst player in the league? In other words, are there players in the league Bronny is better than?

Answer carefully.

There is nobody worth playing in the league, that he is better than....

So if you're having a normal shooting motion and you hit my face which is in a normal position, that's not a foul?

And I noticed how we never get replays when there's suspicion of a shooting foul on the Celtics.

Skrrrrrrr:

Oh, nice. You answered a question I didn't ask. So you agree there are several players that are not worthy of being in the league. Am I right? Something you accuse Bronny of.

Yeah that's clearly not a foul. Calls have been going against Brown tonight. Thank God for the challenge.

The Celtics are always a bad matchup for Luka. He is struggling against the size and length of JB and Horford.

Big AL looked like a 20 year old kid out there!

Isn't that the point. Is that not what everyone is saying, that he ain't ready for the league?
Outside reiterating that fact, did Stephen A, say anything else?

Thats exactly the point. How many of these players has Stephen A talked about? He's targeting Bronny only because he's LeBron's son, not because he thinks he can't play. That's why LeBron stepped up to him. I get you have to talk about whatever relates to LeBron because that's what drives traffic, but when you have to go as far as targeting a 55th pick who I can assure you has done better this season than a few guys in his draft class, it calls for some cautioning.

1. The parents of those other players aren't Lebron

2. Their parents didn't come to international media to float that he's better than lots of players in the league and that he can definitely help the lakers win right now

3. Those players didn't tell other teams not to sign them except the lakers.

4. The parents of those players didn't strong arm a NBA franchise to sign them or they another team.

So why are we ignoring all this context?

If LeBron has let Bronny find his way, go to an Indiana or Detroit and let him earn his way into the NBA, the scrutiny will be lesser.

When Lavar ball ran his mouth , his son's play were scrutinized to see if they matched up to the expectations.

And most importantly STEPHEN A HAS NEVER CRITICIZED BRONNY, INSTEAD IT WAS HOW LEBRON HANDLED THE MATTER THAT HE CRITIC
