Why Bronny James struggled in Lakers debut + Grading Warriors offseason moves | Hoops Tonight

Here we go... shilling for Lebron, by hyping / excusing his son.

Was waiting for a learned take on this. My fan's eye says end-of-the-bench at best. 🙄

Even Jason equivocating, making excuses, and giving the kid attention he doesn't deserve! We all know this whole thing is a charade and a concocted scam!

Is his real name "Bronny", if not can we use his adult name?

Bronny struggled because he is a 2nd string D1 NCAA player

Just call it as it is. He is not NBA material. Even Scalabrine will cook him one on one.

Crazy hate

So basically your saying his billionaire Dad should have let him stay in college

For like 2 years you were my favorite NBA analyst. Now I feel like I'm watching Skip Bayless talking about the Cowboys

I like how the media keeps reaching with bronnt lmao. So where was all this reach with Thenasis? You gona give him his flowers too or is this strictly just a LeBum family special.

Lakers saw the Celtics win a chip and decided to pay their aging star the max and draft his son. This upcoming season might actually be better than the last one. Thank you Jeanie! Oh, I almost forgot hiring his podcast partner as coach...

these comments are very revealing on the chachter of some of yall. Some people would rather ignore all the clear signs just to hate on a kid because of your hate for another man

I have arms of someone 6’8 and I am not even close to help and it really does help, but does not come mass and that is the issue

ok I know you are a Lebron fan that lives in Arizona but watch Dillinghams rookie league games! Also wolves low key have some stealth guys on this summer league roster that might surprise you like Leonard Miller and Nadir Hifi, and then Dilly and Shannon. I have never been so excited about an NBA developmental prospect class as much as I am for these players.

Lol 5 minutes for a meaningful signing on a playoff team

He struggled because he isn't ready for this level of competition

Look, 6 1 guys don't play in the NBA unless they are really good...

We not gonna talk about how many wide open backdoor cuts he passed on in favor of standing in the corner with his man in recovery range? His ball handlers drew so much attention and he didnt capitalize.

So as Lakers Fan i think its fair to talk about my team and my players. Ill get to Bronny in a bit but for the rest of the roster, we will get cooked and destroyed if this is the team will stay the same. I would say the West will be even tougher this year. Now for Bronny, ofc he is not ready and the shot needs to be worked on. But this is the worst competition he will face from now on. No one will give him the freedom or space too grow. This overall makes my Lakers bad not that Bronny is on the team but how everything was handled. My thoughts for the upcoming season atm. It will be worse than the Last 2-3 years

Bronny isn’t an offensive players guys. He’s not offensively ready, he’s more a connective piece , role player. In 3-4 years , he’ll be a competent NBA starter

bronny wouldnt be even a thought in anyone's mind if he wasnt lenarcissist's son. he is not talented enough fornthe nba

Don't agree on this Kuminga for Markannen deal at all. Markannen gives them a ceiling of likely 2nd round exit vs. a likely 1st round exit right now. And this is counting on Steph still being a top10 guy. For a small guard at almost 37y old, that is more and more unlikely.

For a team on the upswing, one can consider this, as the chances for internal improvement would allow to just roll it back the following season.

GSW competitiveness relies on Steph and Draymond and both are only getting older and worse from here. Once they fall off a bit more, Markannen is on the completely wrong time-line for that team and the rebuild it will require.

2 years ago that might have made sense. Now the title window has closed. Don't throw assets into that false sense of contention.

Stop glazing Jason. Say it as it is.

I hope yall had this same energy for lavar ball n lonzo going to the lakers

He gotta go to the g-league to develop his game. Tbh he should have never left college, he aint ready. He needs to develop into a 3 and D guy but even that will be hard as he doesn't look like a good shooter. You can't be in this league if you are 6'2 without some good offensive or defensive traits. He is not that athletic from what i can see as well. He should have developed his game more, he is going to eaten alive if they play him significant minutes for the lakers.

Nepotism is not always a bad thing. Jalen Brunson's has career in the NBA but Jalen proved himself in college and was in the MVP voting last year. The problem is that bronny is just not a good player....this is his standard and he already has some health problems it seems.

Honestly if you don’t like Bronny it’s probably cause you don’t like Lebron and you have the mental capacity of a middle schooler. There really isn’t a reason to hate on a second round pick if you actually know anything about basketball outside of what hot take media outlets tell you.

Lol 3 and D but hes cant shoot or play D

Bro you seriously covering a second round pick that shouldn’t have even been drafted

Bragging about Bronny’s length is wild

He’s literally the goats son. Y’all know life ain’t fair and there’s ppl in the league that shouldn’t be. This is a benefit of Lebrons success. Let it ride

So weirdo fans don’t want hear anything other than bronny sucks when it comes to commentary.

I would rather staple bologna to my face than listen to anyone dissect Bronny's game. ESPN's coverage is nauseating. Jason is now a full fledged member of Team Klutch, which is a sad thing. Bronny had two plays that even (and only) ESPN considered highlight worthy. A hockey assist and a layup. The media attention given by ESPN , and "analysts" like Jason is to create the impression basketball fans have a huge appetite for Bronny's matriculation to being out of the NBA when LeBron is gone. They don't. BTW, I don't blame Bronny at all, his father is an entirely different matter.

Lakers are in bad shape

6’1 3 and d player sounds like a joke.

Sorry, I’m not interested in Bronny

Nepo baby

Biased laker fan

This podcast is awesome when he doesn’t talk lakers

Credibility tanking here with BJ take.

Jason fall off need to be studied hes got potential but loses all his credibility on lebron and now bronny non sense bias

He's bust. Simple as that. No need to see the video. Don't waste your time here..

I agree with you on the DeRozan trade. But speaking of Lauri, why wouldn't Sacramento go in on this? What if you offer Keegan Murray, Kevin Huerter (to match salaries), and 3 Unprotected FRPs for Markkannen?

I'm legit tired of this guy talking out of both sides of his mouth. The warriors organization don't owe anything to curry and especially Draymond green. Also, getting Lauri doesn't move the needle whatsoever. Someone has to be the main scorer on a bad team, it's really that simple. You're better off building around these young guys and trading away vets to get pics back, because you are not competing at this Western conference. This is all just wishful thinking as per usual

Dude is a bad professional basketball player. The big boys will hassle him to get his dad’s goat.

Dang Jason, the Lakers already hired the other guy as head coach. Bonny stinks and you need to be real with us…unsubscribed.

Dude I really hope Lebron has you on a payroll cuz no way you can be this compromised. Anybody with even simple understanding of ball knows Bronny is not it

Jason this is the most embarrassing thing since you tried to make up ways the Celtics could lose to the Mavericks

Stop. Bronny is not even close to being an NBA prospect.

I really think you're wrong about Bronny having NBA tools. He's got good rec center tools from what i can tell. But i also thought you were bad wrong about how the finals would go and you totally nailed it so let's see how it plays out. Bronny has been put in the most unfair professional sporting situation i can imagine. He literally can't win because of his name. LeBron should have never allowed or (i think) pressured his son to come out. Yeah it's really cool to have father and son playing together, but this just can't work. I don't think he's ever going to be good enough to play significant minutes in the league. Period. Neither are a ton of other guys in the g league but they don't have to deal with any of the pressure he has. I'd feel bad for him but he just signed an 8 million dollar deal to do a job he can't do yet because his dad said so. Dudes got a blessed life
