Bronny ‘needs a divide’ between him and LeBron, unfair to compare them? | NBA | SPEAK

Bronny James spoke at the NBA combine, saying that “there needs to be that divide between Bronny and LeBron." Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, James Jones, and LeSean McCoy ask if it’s unfair to compare Bronny and LeBron and if they should play on the same team.

@davidbrown4540

Cuz none of them are LeBron's sons. In a weird sort of way though, what Joy is saying also applies to them. They're getting ignored now, and will be ignored into November, but over the rest of the 2024-2025 season, it will be up to them to show that shows like this SHOULD be talking about them. Like "You SHOULD be watching me, because I'm going to be Rookie of the Year material! ASK SOMEBODY!!" The court is the great equalizer. All jokes aside, on teh court, there is no LeBron Jr, no Shaq Jr, no nothing, your just a number once that whistle blows. Everybody is going to have to SHOW they belong. Whoever they are, whatever draft number they are chosen at, don't worry. If they deserve it, they're time is going to come.
Joy so wrong. The conversation around Bronny is not if he will be as good as his father. Which we know 99.9% he won't be. The conversation is if purely by his basketball skills alone right now, is he good enough to make it into the NBA. If he name Bronny Johnson, he would not have gotten invited into the draft combine.
This feels like the moment before Titanic hits the iceberg. The players at his size and postions in the NBA are all on timing

Most people think MJ is better than Lebron Joy! Stop the 🧢! Y’all should have been criticizing LeBron for pushing Bronny for his own agenda. Y’all know he’s not ready and so does everybody else!

They are full of it. The reason people are saying “because of your dad your here” is because in highschool he was a McDonald’s All American averaging 14 points.

Why feel bad for someone who has such an incredible opportunity due to pure luck? The only reason we're talking about him is because he's Lebron's son. He isn't drafted if he's not Lebron's son. He's not talked about at all if he's not Lebron's son. Yes, expectations on him could get overboard, to a level he could never live up to. But that's why he should be thankful that he's even getting the opportunity in the first place because it is completely about his father, not because of his own personal skill and athleticism. It's something you have to accept when you're related to someone famous. There's millions, tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions who would happily trade spots with you.
Shadys take was spot on
Beon began the Lavar Ball approach and then backed off but the media did not.
This specific convo makes all the sports talking heads look silly. His work did not speak for him in high school (where he was given a McDonald's All-America selection b/c of his dad) and in college where his stats clearly show he is no where near a top player. His basketball game has never spoken for him to say he is great. Check Pat Bev's highschool stats and Collegiate accomplishments James Jones. You'll see there is a reason he became a great pro and why you should've never mentioned his game with someone who has NEVER accomplished anything on his own in basketball.
Pat Bev averaged 37 in high school!!!!!!!! Stop comparing this kid to Pat Bev!!!
This is about PRIVILEGE. Haters do Not believe he will Earn his job. They think he "inherited" his job.
ppl should blame the NBA for even letting bronny enter the draft !!
There will be no divide because the only reason is able go into the draft is because of his dad. He was not great in high school and we did not see enough of him in college ,but he only averaged 4ppg. No other player with his averages would even be talked about or able to enter this draft right now. He cannot separate from his dad cuz that's literally the only reason he is HERE

Holler at me when Bronny gets an NBA title, that's all that needs to be said.
Here is my response to Joy: "You are correct Joy, he is not going to be another Lebron James, it is unrealistic and unfair for us to expect that. It is also unfair for Lebron to make comments about him being better than some of the people in the league.
As much as I loved my dad and loved living in his shadow, at some point I had to cast my own. I wouldn't have wanted him to try to keep me there after I was ready to fly.
I 100% agree with Shady. People have been hating but Bronny still has this opportunity. That's worth more than the hate💯
The disrespect to Jovic…
If he gets to the NBA and does his job all this will be forgotten!
So he got the chance because of Bron. You could separate from Bron by staying in school and earning the opportunity, but you take advantage of Brons influence but now he needs separation? Privilege at it finest

Acho tried so hard to be messy thanks guys
We are only having this conversation because he is Bron’s son, which is a gift and a curse. Every year, there are players that get drafted that may not be ready, but we do not talk about them. We don’t care if they get drafted or not. This situation is strictly about Lebron James and his son potentially being drafted. If Bronny James was “Eric Johnson” that went to USC, had a health scare, averaged 5 points a game, and entered the draft, and got drafted, the story would be “ Eric didn’t play much because of a health scare, but he is athletic, has an NBA body, can shoot the 3, plays defense and can run an offense. He’s raw but can be a Jrue Holiday or Derrick White type role player.” We wouldn’t care if he was drafted. This is strictly a LeBron James story. People are going to love it or hate it.
Bronny is 6’1” and not aggressive
Great points Joy!
Can we stop moving the goal posts. Literally no one is expecting him to be his dad.
Man I can’t wait till he proves everyone wrong….. can’t wait Strive for Greatness Bronny ‼️
My thing is what's soo bad about college? Cuz he definitely needs another year or 2 to develop
They wasted a lot of time stating the obvious….
Its funny to watch former athletes say they have no problem if Lebrons name gets Bronny a spot over another qualified athlete..when they know they would completely spaz if they lost their spot because of nepotism
The difference between Bronny and all those other guys is the fact that he will be drafted in the first round ONLY because a team wants lebron to play with them. If he doesnt get drafted and a team signed him as a free agent, thats another issue. But he is going to be drafted without ANY sign of being a good "PRO" Basketball player and its due to trying to get lebron to play with them. None of these other kids were drafted in the first, 2nd or 3rd because of there name.
