That's rich!

Bronny may never actually turn out to be anything, but he certainly will never be the disappointment Kwame Brown was.

Yeah, he was not ready for prime time. Jordan really pushed the Wizards to take him.

I must admit I've never asked myself, "what would Kwame Brown think about this?"

Rough crowd, guy played 11 seasons in the NBA, entitled to an opinion.

He is not entitled to speculate on things he knows nothing about. All reports are that Bronny is working hard to become an NBA player. He is entitled to chase his NBA dream just like Brown did.

About a third of 2nd round picks never play a game in the NBA. So, lots of players are doing exactly what Bronny did, putting their name into the draft and hoping to make the NBA. At pick 55, the Lakers took someone who they knew would put in the work rather than take a flyer on an unknown player. They gave him a guarenteed contract just like the Bucks gave Chris Livingston the #58 pick in the 2023 draft. So why all the hate?

Bronny scored 4 points a game in his one year in college. It seems fairly obvious the only reason he was drafted.

Do you seriously think we'd be talking about this if Bronny was named Smith?
