He isn't going to "trick" the NBA by going to China.

1.67 more strawman arguments. How do you even come up with some of this stuff?

You don't think players ranked in the 40s and 50s or higher are usually best benefitted by staying in college 4yrs for free and enjoying life while earning a degree?

There likely isn't some master plan to trick the NBA into letting Bronny sit on a bench for 1 year before LeBron retires. That doesn't make sense for anyone involved.

Nah, I've heard they are bad parents--random internet dude said so.

"Tricking" is a strawman. They definitely aren't trying to trick anyone--LeBron put it very literally and bluntly.

I don't think he's the typical player ranked in the 40's and 50's though.
But one year of college could be fun and he might prefer being the big man on campus than hanging out in China with adults and people that don't speak his language.

I never said anything remotely close to that one way or the other. That's your strawman argument.

It was a question.

Or in his 1st year, like the anti LeBron crowd is hoping for, he sucks and is "exposed"....which is possible. If he sucks at Kansas he'd suck in China. The NBA guys will know this within 30min of watching him regardless of where he is at.

So, if he's not NBA material, then it makes way more sense to enjoy college life than to be an overseas grinder like Jamari Traylor.

Personally, I think Bronny has Kentucky and Cal written all over him.
What a match.

I'm not dumb enough to fall into your traps that make you think you proved some point.

If I say "Yes," then it's "See Bronny should definitely spend 4 years in college." Nevermind the fact that it completely ignores the unique situation, which is why this is even a discussion.

If I say "No," then it's "OMG I can't believe you, a grown man, don't think that's good for people, why do you hate college and think it's a bad experience?!"

BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 12:10 pm Bronny to China instead of college is idiotic.

Some of you would argue that dog shit smells good if I said it smelled bad.

Bronny to China would certainly serve Bron's interests, and (indirectly) his own. But as Bron is a good (altruistic, selfless) papa, throw this consideration out.

He's unofficially visited Duke but before K announced he was done.

I think Duke and UK are most likely destinations. We've got to be 3rd with Roy gone though.

Playing in AFH would be fun. If he's good enough to help us then I would be glad to have him.

BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 12:15 pm Some of you seem to not value the college experience very much. Which is strange for a bunch of KU grads.

Bronny has all the money he will ever need. You can't buy the college experience.

He can go to China anytime he wants.

The "college experience" is closed to Bronny.

You think many rich and famous American born 18yr olds think spending a year in China sounds fun?

I don't.

There's still no evidence that KU is recruiting Bronny.

Pretty sure his last "Top 5" did not have KU.

Pretty simple, if Bill wants him, I want him.

Rich and famous people go to college all the time.

Even president's children.

Going to college is not the same thing as having the college experience.

Even in the rarefied air of "major college basketball player," the "college experience" is something Bronny will never, ever have.

You don't think Shaq's kid is having the college experience? I do.

I would very much prefer for him not to be at KU because of the circus that would come with it.
Duke, Kentucky, Ohio State.
Perfect.

From your article...

"He's still basically off limits to the media and hasn't put out a school list"

That's the writer's guesses.
