Bronny a burger
I guess it'll be interesting to see whether he goes to college
and whether he's actually a top prospect, or more so benefits from the name recognition

Re: Who is the GOAT
Have you watched him?
He is good.
He is not good enough to go straight to the NBA. I think he will go to college for a year or two at minimum.
I hope KU is in the mix for him once he narrows down the places he wants to consider. I'd expect Duke UNC UCLA UK KU and OhioState as the main contenders to get him.

^^^^^^^^
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: Who is the GOAT
Kentucky is the perfect place for him.

He's supposedly narrowed it down. Thankfully he and his parents don't need the money.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:43 am Have you watched him?

Makes it easier for schools to try and get him - and him to pass on schools.
Can't help but wonder if he want's to stay in LA. If he does, USC is probably a strong consideration.
LeBron has said Bronny has always liked Oregon. Maybe he should go to CU and CU should let coach Prime coach him. Seems like a perfect fit for all parties involved.
Not sure Cal is going to return to UK so my guess is Bronny wouldn't commit to UK unless Cal has committed to staying.
I'm fine with him coming to KU. I'm just as fine if not more fine with him not coming to KU.

Re: Who is the GOAT
I would like to know what college coach that is - and why he/she is seemingly so clueless.
I say Kudos to Savannah (and LeBron). Do they really want coaches (some scumbags) directly contacting their son before/without their speaking with the coach (scumbag?) too?
Believe it or not, while no doubt Bronny's recruitment is important, Savannah has a busy life and 3 kids. So she has a "publicist" (in other words assistant) deal with her schedule. And? That's actually normal to me. Perhaps this coach has never dealt with a wealthy set of parents before? If this coach really wants Bronny then he/she should probably keep his/her mouth shut.

Re: Who is the GOAT
KG is one of my top 5 favorite basketball players of all time. I loved watching him play with Ronnie Fields.
I don't expect anyone to watch this but if you have some free time there is some fantastic and very insightful conversation going on.
3 guys just shooting the shit.

Well he sat out last night due to an ankle injury and 1st half of back to back, so if you heard that more than 24hrs ago, it's likely changed

Re: Who is the GOAT
Plaschke with the splash-ke.
The tweet appeared within hours of the news that the Lakers had not been able to pull off a trade for Kyrie Irving.
The tweet was from LeBron James, who had openly campaigned for Irving despite overwhelming evidence he would be a bad fit.
The tweet, as usual, was a passive-aggressive shot at Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and general manager Rob Pelinka.
“Maybe It’s Me,” James declared Sunday afternoon.
No maybes about it.
It is him.
LeBron James has been such a horrible general manager that the Lakers would be fools to allow him to continue making the trades.
His support of Irving wasn’t the main reason the Lakers lost the Irving bidding to the Dallas Mavericks, but it sure didn’t help.
As he tenaciously and incredibly and inspirationally approaches Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record, off the court James is unfortunately also approaching the record for being a Lakers all-time pain.
He pushed for a Russell Westbrook trade that has ripped apart the Lakers’ present.
And now he’s mad that the Lakers didn’t follow his advice and acquire the NBA’s absolute worst teammate, a selfish and antisemitic eccentric who would leave the Lakers in complete ruins?
Just stop.
As the creator of a trio that makes $150 million and is in 13th place, James no longer has any right to demand that the Lakers sacrifice even more of their tattered future for the sake of a few more wins now.
The Lakers’ front office made the right move in refusing to give up the Nets’ demands that reportedly included Westbrook, two first-round picks, Austin Reaves and Max Christie.
And the Lakers’ front office would have every right to be irritated with how James put them through the wringer on this.
Shortly after Irving requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, James tweeted out the eyeballs emoji.
That signified James wanted to be reunited with one of the NBA’s best point guards even though Irving has proven to be the league’s biggest headache.
Then, on Saturday night in New Orleans, when James was asked by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin whether Irving was the sort of player to help the Lakers reach the finish line, he initially deferred to Pelinka but then added, “Obviously that’s a — what’s the word you use? — ‘duh’ question when you talk about a player like that.”
His ensuing tweet Sunday afternoon implied that his Lakers’ bosses are dumber than “duh” when, in fact, they are being charged with the seemingly impossible task of digging out of the mess he created for them.
This sort of sniping has been going on all season, public challenges for the front office to save a season that has long since been lost.
Two months ago, after being asked by Times columnist Dylan Hernández whether he was concerned that the latest Davis injury would affect future trade talks, he answered as he was leaving the interview room.
“Go ask Rob those questions,” he said playfully, although it turns out he wasn’t playing.
Last month, when asked about trades by the Athletic’s Sam Amick, James replied, “Y’all know what the f— should be happening. I don’t need to talk.”
No, of course, talk is not needed when tweets will do the trick.
Seriously, you don’t really think they should have traded for Irving, do you? The guy burns every place he has been with trade demands and sudden departures. The guy costs his most recent team numerous games by refusing a COVID vaccine. And, oh yeah, the guy was suspended this season for promoting a movie containing antisemitic themes.
Even if his powerful point guard play would help pull them into the playoff picture this season, he would demand a four-year deal this summer, and there’s no way the Lakers could entrust the leadership of their franchise to him for even four minutes.
The Lakers made the right move. James clearly believes it was the wrong move. One can now wonder where this is all heading.
There will be an appropriate and deserved celebration this week at Crypto.com Arena when James breaks Abdul-Jabbar’s record. James has been nothing short of brilliant in his five Lakers seasons— unselfish, uncompromising, worthy of every decibel of the standing ovation he will receive.
But once the confetti is swept up, the focus will switch from James the Historic Player to James the Failed Executive and you wonder: How much can either side tolerate?
Having admitted that he’s unhappy with his Lakers bosses, will James be eager to finish out the final two years of his Lakers contract? Is there a chance this summer that he demands to be traded?
Having endured constant slings and stings from James, might the Lakers’ front office be willing to accommodate such a request?
Even during a week teeming with legend and legacy, one thing is perhaps worth remembering.
Even the biggest of NBA giants is not bigger than the Lakers.
In refusing to give up the required price in a trade for Kyrie Irving, the Lakers finally proved this.
Now it’s up to LeBron James to deal with it.
