The man is one of the most freakish athletes I've ever seen. Not a fan of the person but you have to recognize the specimen is special.

When he was in high school he looked like a 25 year old man.

The average height of an nba guard is 6’2 so not really a big deal

He def isnt nba ready though

Crazy he had a heart attack less than a year ago

He ceiling was average college basketball bench player.

He has no future in the NBA other than the Lakers next coach inserting him into a late blowout loss so that LeBron can post an instagram of him passing the ball for a three pointer that will take several attempts to eventually go in.

Oh yeah, you're correct. He had cardiac arrest which is actually much worse

In terms of returning to high level sports cardiac arrest from a fixable congenital defect is better than a heart attack (assuming you don’t die from either)

Yeah, one of these has an insanely high % of people that die. This isn't really something worth debating big dog.

Your point about him not making it in the NBA is perfectly valid.

His line of replies on this has to be one of the weirder gotchas I've seen attempted

Right. I’m just saying I don’t think he would have returned as soon as he did if it was an actual heart attack Rehab etc would have been longer. I mean it was what, only 4 months he made a full return to basketball?

After a heart attack not sure how long it would take to be a full speed athlete again at that level. Not sure we have ever even seen it

Eh I wouldn’t put too much stock in reports he looked good in agility drills or anything else. Basketball media simply can’t be honest about him out of respect or fear of his father. It was obvious he was the type of high school prospect that should have been ranked around the 40’s-60’s coming out and was a lot of his time in high school but he started receiving those late bumps at the exact same time Lebron started all his rhetoric about him wanting to play with him and how Bronny was better than some current NBA players. His late rise was obviously superficial and unwarranted. Then when he showed to not even be a good college player the same media types are using the excuse “he is really athletic though” as cover for their horrible takes. The truth is he isn’t a professional level athlete

It is wild this guy is going to find himself on a NBA bench next season because of his dad. I’m not even sure if he’s good enough to stay in the G League or play overseas.

how can in one post you say Bronny would definitely be bad at football because “he is a rich entitled pussy” then on the other hand praise a uptown raised Newman kid with the last name manning?

Because the Mannings were always considered tough kids, regardless of wealth.

LeBron is historically known as soft, and clearly ‘Bronny’ has inherited it.

foundation to be a productive roleplaying guard at the NBA level with how well he can shoot the 3-ball, his quick decision making and the way he can defend the perimeter


Only 2 rounds for a draft.
In general, looking for starters.

He’s got the name, but not the game.
