I just wanted to add, those Laker-Celtics finals in the 80's were the best. I was a Blazer fan but I really respected the Lakers in those days.

Yeah his actions have had the opposite affect on me.
I lost any respect I had for him because of this. His son wasn’t even a top 5 player on his team in college. All this nonsense took a spot from kids who deserve it.
But if the Lakers are going to play stupid games..

I have fathered kids on several continents...wait, what are we talking about?
I have a lot of respect for Lebron James and what he has done in his hometown. Stunning, the number of kids he has put through college...the quality of the school he built. Every successful father hopes for his son to follow in his footsteps. Lebron is no different but his son does not appear to have what it takes to succeed in the NBA and this looks like it could be a very short tenure for them both.

I lead, you follow.
Having been victim of professional incompetency directly because of nepotism both family and friend related; I understand the emotional component and empathize with it, but not at others expense. Then you're missing empathy for the others affected in a negative manner while you hand things to those who didn't earn them. As the late great Woody said "any time you give a man something he didn't earn, you cheapen him".
You're obviously not as emotionally as developed as myself thus *YOU* can't empathize with this point - what LeBron is ultimately doing is selfishness and self centered behavior of the highest order.
And what suffers, professionally speaking, are other employees and the business. The Lakers will be no exception.
(Barring Bronny having miracle improvement to his game)

Bronny needs to grow another 3-4 inches that’s what needs to happen. That or become a pure shooter which IMO he can’t do. He’s like his dad but is 6 inches shorter and dozens of pounds lighter.
He’s in no man’s land. Not a gifted shooter but isn’t anywhere close to big enough to consistently do what his old man does

Quality? What?
Every eighth grader failed state math tests at LeBron James-backed 'I Promise School'
Despite abundant resources, the school has not been able to meet state benchmarks.

Bronny has value to the team's bottom line because this gimmick will sell tickets and add time. It's irrelevant whether or not he "deserves" to be in the NBA. Again, I also applaud LeBron for securing some capital for his son if this whole basketball thing doesn't work out. Since man crawled out of the slime the world has been a business and this is no different.
