1. Nepotism be damned

   Cool as hell story for Bron Bron, happy for their family

2. Lmfao fuck, we did it.

3. Just as the prophecy foretold

4. Summer League is gonna be fun

5. LISAN AL GAIB!!!

6. Who cares it’s the 55th pick. At the beginning of the season we thought we were gonna pick him in the first round. Some of you cry about everything lol

   Edit: there are only 58 picks this year. You can probably sign who you were gonna take originally anyways if you wanted to

7. I actually think he will end up being viewed as a steal in a few years.

8. Good for Bronny. Some people swear like he wasn’t projected to go late 1st before he almost died.

9. Well worth it to keep LeBron rest of his career

10. WE DID IT

11. We can still take whoever gets undrafted on a 2 way contract

12. History

13. Shams had that tweet in his drafts for ages.

14. Meme team

15. If you’re upset at a fucking 55th pick in a draft. Something you never even cared about previously, you’re just unhappy and want something to be mad at just because it’s Lebron.

16. This is so much cooler than Thannassis.

17. 

18. One of the greatest feats in league history on LeBron’s part.

19. holy shit Lakers actually did it. happy for the kid, hope he can develop to be a solid contributor in the future

20. and lebron still leaves rofl /s

21. Love the message it sends. We take care of our superstars.

22. Lets go! Lol. Please please this is a masterpiece from Bronny’s camp to tank his college career lolol

23. Lmaoo well deserved as LeBrons parting gift. Literally saved the franchise. Got us a chip. Got rid of Darvin

24. What are the chances Lebron signs the extension for tomorrow?

25. Next season y’all!

    

26. Why are these idiots claiming that Bronny stole a spot from someone more worthy of the spot while at the same time complaining that Klutch made it so he wouldn’t be drafted earlier.

27. It would be so fucking awkward being on the same team as your dad…

28. Eh, fuck it. What else were they going to do at 55

29. At the 55th pick who cares? It’s a total crapshoot by the end. You weren’t gonna get a serviceable big man by that point. He’ll get time in the g league and at worst he’s just here for a couple years finding his footing. Not like they’re gonna give him big minutes

30. FUCK IT WE BALL

31. good for bronny. congrats

32. This basically confirms lebron retires a Laker. I’m pretty hyped!

33. Bronny to Bron alley oop will feed millions

34. Imagine if LeBron leaves in free agency

35. aye!!! i know a lotta yall niggas was hatin

    but i love to see nepotism working for black ppl! if you could, you would!

    go bronny

36. I just hope he is healthy and doesn’t let the pressure get to him. He’s only 19 and has plenty of time to grow.

37. Pretty surreal shit man, really cool. https://x.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1806449464493867333
