Unlike so many of you, I don’t have the leeway of being all that indignant regarding the Lakers drafting of Bronny James. After all, my father got me my first job as a HS junior in the New York Daily News sports department where he was a desk man…. – 10:56 PM

LeBron James: With the 55th in the 2024 NBA draft. The Los Angeles Lakers select……. Bronny James. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲. Just had a moment! -via x.com / July 1, 2024
The 19-year-old son of LeBron James has a Name-Image-Licensing value of $3.2 million, according to an estimate by the On3 social network provided to Sportico. That number, On3 says, is less than half of what it was last year, when Bronny had an estimated valuation of $7 million, thanks to deals with Google, Beats by Dre, and Nike. -via Deadline / June 30, 2024
“In fact, Bronny is arguably the least productive college prospect in NBA history. Here is a list of every player in the entire history of the NBA to be selected in the first two rounds of the draft that averaged less than five points, three rebounds, and three assists a game in college. And that’s it. Just three players who were selected in the NBA draft with college numbers equal to or less than Brony’s college numbers.” -via YouTube / June 30, 2024
