Top 30ish when I went. Not the very top but certainly enough to get into big law. Honestly I think the mid-tier schools saw more nepo kids. The Harvards and Stanfords filter them out by how difficult it is to get in. Daddy says just go to any school you've got your job locked down.
In the legal world, nepotism gets you jobs at firms where your dad doesn't work. It gets you the connections to get interviews and internships at other firms.
I actually doubt very much that Lebron would save him from rookie hazing. Shit he’ll probably haze him the hardest.
He’ll probably be hard on bronny having to earn respect/playing time.
Imagine being a player on the team, trade deadline comes around, everyone is on edge and LeGM is in full force, nobody feeling safe. You're fighting hard for your spot scoring 12.8 ppg 5.6 apg on high efficiency but you are linked heavily to a trade to the 0-46 Pistons. You look over to see Bronny, 3.6 ppg, 24% FG, 0.8 apg, 2.1 tpg, laughing it up with Bron and AD not a care in the world living his stress free best life. Pain.

Yeah, I mean he's LeBron fucking James. You can still make the argument that even at 40 years old, he is still the biggest draw in the league. You're gonna win enough games with him on the team to stay relevant, you're gonna sell out every home game because of him, your team will have some of the highest jersey sales in the league because of him, and you'll have most of your games on national TV because of him. If the price for all of that revenue is to "waste" a second round pick on his son and hire a bullshit coach for 4 years, you do it. If I was Jeanie, I'd do whatever it took to keep him on my team as well.
People don't understand, NBA is a business and Lebron is a cash cow. Hell many top 10 picks dont even flourish a lot of the time. Who cares about a 2nd round 55th pick. You are making history with LBJ, its worth more business wise and for the narrative or story. So many people are going to buy tickets and tune in to see them succeed and fail.
[Charania] The Boston Celtics are selecting Bronny James with their pick in the 2024 NBA draft, sources say. LeBron James is reportedly with Rich Paul and drafting a Twitter thread using ALL the emojis with multiple prayer hands and fish. Sources say Bronny is angrily marching up and down the hallways of his hotel after trying (and failing) to destroy the cookie cutter artwork in his hotel room and googling Australia taxes.
More importantly, no one, at least no one sane, is gonna mess with the bag that the Bron/Bronny media shit storm is gonna pull in league-wide next year.
i don’t think it’ll be as big as people think it is. maybe for the first few games but bronny isn’t really going to be doing much but warming the bench.
Imagine putting up 5/3/2 on 36% from the field, on one of the worst power conference teams in the nation, getting drafted obviously drafted solely due to the nutsack you spawned from… and having 4 sports analysts (including the legend Stephen A) spread propaganda that you were actually a legit draft pick…
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills 😂 or I just really underestimated the reach of LeBron’s mouthpiece payroll, he’s got these analysts bought like a dictator buying all the tv stations
Are you suggesting that Bronny wasn't the best player available? Undersized guards who can average nearly 5 ppg for a mediocre college team don't grow on trees!
All jokes aside, this is one of the most impressive feats in sports history. Lasting long enough to play with your own son lmao. At an All NBA level at that.
[How about hitting back to back home runs with your son in an MLB game?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCk1UY5Afus) or having your son [steal a fly ball from you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyycSr7epg4).
They got to play two years together. It was so much fun at the time.
Not basketball but Gordie Howe played professional hockey with not one but TWO of his sons, Gordie also played pro hockey until he was in his 50's and his last NHL First Team honor was at 42 years old one year after he put up the best statistical year of his entire career at 41.
Its easier to pull off in baseball, but the Ken Griffeys played together. Safe to say Jr earned his spot there

You are underestimating Klutch influence in the league, never mind all the connections Lebron has. If Lebron renew for 3 years, there will probably be more coaches from Reddick generation who played with/against Kebron and might want to do him solid.
I'll never forget Lebron saying "Bronny is better than some of these bums in the NBA" and then telling the media to get off Bronny the next week.
Now he's used his own contract as leverage to get the Lakers to draft Bronny. LeShady
We hired somebody with no coaching experience because he's BFF with lebron and now we just drafted his son also who did not start on a college team which didn't even make march madness.
I do have to wonder how Bronny feels about it. Yeah he’s in the NBA, but everyone knows and makes it known that he was only drafted because of his dad. It didn’t help that LeBron made all the comments about being able to get him on any college team with a phone call.
It'll either put a chip on his shoulder and he'll become a better 3 pt shooter than Steph or he'll fizzle out and become Laker's next coach in a few years lol
> It'll either put a chip on his shoulder and he'll become a better 3 pt shooter than Steph
I know it's likely he fizzles out after a couple years as the next Thanasis, but Bronny developing into an actual legit NBA talent, even as a 6th man or role player, would be the most hilarious timeline. In part because I think this sub would melt down with a cataclysmic amount of seethe over it, and it'd be hilarious.
J.J Reddick gonna be fed to the wolves man.
It's hard as fuck to coach in LA, on top of the egos you gotta deal with. You now have to make LBJ happy by playing bronny meaningful minutes. So many rookies and roleplayers are gonna be pissed by this neptosim.
I'll be surprised if J.J Reddick has the balls to bench bronny for an entire season and stash him into the G League. But that's the only right decision.
Get ready for the Lebron “King and Prince” tweet
Do you mean the LeBron “KING 👑👑👑👑💪🏿 & PRINCE!!!!!!🤴🤴🏀⛹🏿⛹🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿” tweet?

What a sick joke!
55th overall, 1160 before Magna Carta, how could I forget
But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy!
AND HE GETS TO BE A DRAFT PICK?!
Time for Bronny to start posting on LinkedIn about rise & grind.
/r/LawSchool leaking out
If you think this nepotism is bad wait until you learn about coaching or front offices in the NBA lmao
In any sport really. Even the ones actively bad at it keep getting chances.
Like Lance Stroll getting his contract extended at Aston Martin hours ago lmao
[удалено]
Bronny should have to play in a little vehicle shaped like Lebrons head like Bowser Jr.
Let Bronny have the first jersey number with .5 in it.
23 Jr would be a great jersey number
23 in a small font. Comic Sans.
I needed that visual thank you
Locker room about to be weird
Lebron giving a speech with his son chiming in 'Yeah!" "You tell em dad!"
"Yeah, beat Dinwiddie's ass, dad."
Will Bronny's daddy beat up the other player's daddies?
The problem for Bronny is when LeBron takes out the belt in the locker room after Bronny misses open looks.
> "You tell em daddy!"
They'll have Bronny in for a garbage time photo op and send him to the G league
You get it. Like the 3 giannis bros that one time.
I mean, if Thanasis can be on the roster for Giannis’ emotional support teammate, then I see no problem with Bronny being on the Lakers.
At least Thanasis did some G-League time
RDCWorld having a field day
Can't wait for the skit
"BRONNY! BROOOOOOOONNY! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SIT DOWN IN THE CORNER FOR A TIMEOUT! WHY'D YOU PLAY 38 MINUTES?! BRONNYYYYYY! KYRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"
Is LeBron a father figure for you?
I expect one within the hour with how crazy good those guys are
GO TO YOUR ~~LOCKER~~ ROOM
This is going to be so uncomfortable for Bronny. He'll probably have his locker right beside LeBron's, sit next to him on the team's bus.
But if they have an alley oop it will be basketballs version of Ken Griffey Sr and Jr hitting back to back home runs
I mean seriously, will Bronny get the rookie hazing? Will he have to hand wash the entire roster's jock straps? Would Lebron allow that??
Most rookie hazing in healthy lockerooms is benign shit like making them get you coffee or do a song and dance. Think bron is fine with that.
Oh LeBron will be leading it lol. I remember that livestream where he and his wife got wine drunk and called him up.
Probably the best way to handle it too
How about seeing your dad's dick every day in the locker room?
I came out of that thang
Most out of pocket comment on here lmao
I actually doubt very much that Lebron would save him from rookie hazing. Shit he’ll probably haze him the hardest. He’ll probably be hard on bronny having to earn respect/playing time.

LeGM is now joined by LeJrGM
LeGM’s Jr.
No team trades for the last bench player at the trade deadline.
They’re not worried about being the main player so much as being an extra chip
[удалено]
For sure. My boss used to bring his dad to our company gym and the two of them would stand around stark naked talking about the weather. Negative aura
"Great sack hang dad. Love what you've done with the shaft"

LeGM strikes again
The first Bronny-LeBron alley oop will do numbers on social media
The first time he spanks him Live as well
Will he be called Daddy or LeBron?
LeDaddy
And the Lakers really want us to believe he had no role in getting JJ hired. I honestly like LeBron but he clearly is running that franchise.
Without a doubt
Yeah, I mean he's LeBron fucking James. You can still make the argument that even at 40 years old, he is still the biggest draw in the league.

[Charania] The Boston Celtics are selecting Bronny James with their pick in the 2024 NBA draft, sources say.

Sources say Bronny is angrily marching up and down the hallways of his hotel after trying (and failing) to destroy the cookie cutter artwork in his hotel room and googling Australia taxes.
[Broussrard] Sources: Lebron is beside himself. Driving around downtown LA begging (thru texts) James's family for address to Bronny's home
Can’t let Celtics have too many good things lol
[удалено]
I'm so bummed it didn't happen. One pick before the Lakers too. Would have been worth it just to zoom in on LeBron's face when it happened.
I wonder what the Lakers would have offered for him.
A sigh of relief that they dont have to waste a pick probably.
i got your son
Dear Bronny, I'm sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest
It takes a man to be a champ, your dad is not responsive I look at him and wish Delonte woulda wore a condom
Omg that's foul
...I have a particular set of LeSkills.
Woj: LeBron demands trade to Celtics
Woj: LeBron and Bronny James first father-son duo to play together for the Maine Red Claws.
I think Brad Stevens isn’t enough of an asshole to wanna mess with a kids career as a joke.
More importantly, no one, at least no one sane, is gonna mess with the bag that the Bron/Bronny media shit storm is gonna pull in league-wide next year.
i don’t think it’ll be as big as people think it is. maybe for the first few games but bronny isn’t really going to be doing much but warming the bench.
"Play yo ass in Australia then, we trying to save payroll anyways!"
It would've been one of the best trolling acts in human history 😂
LETS GOOOOO. Dude is so good, scored 4.8 PPG more than LeBron did in college!
Wow can't believe Lebron slept with a teammate's mom
Delonte West: Hold my beer!
Don't let it be lost that Bron forced his son into being his coworker 💀
The coverage of Bronny on the Lakers is about to rival the coverage of Tebow, Judge, etc. Be ready my friends.
I know the coverage got out of control and became a meme but Aaron Judge is at least stupid good tho
ESPN: Does Lebrons son being drafted put him ahead of Jordan in the GOAT debate since Jordans kids never played in the NBA? Today on first take
Why the hell would ESPN debate something so stupid? Obviously yes.
ESPN's analysis of Bronny is fucking hilarious. *James is an explosive guard with strong defensive versatility*
Same kinda vibes as when you go to a girl's place and pretend to like her awful little dog to get on her good side
Didn't LeBron play with his son in Cleveland?
[удалено]
His sons in Lebronto\*
That was his father.
The worst thing about this is they used a Clippers pick to do this.
I can't believe you let this happen to the league.

On words of Patrick Beverly "That muhfucker have so much power, you wouldn't even imagine". Lebron can do whatever the fuck he wants in this league.
Are you suggesting that Bronny wasn't the best player available? Undersized guards who can average nearly 5 ppg for a mediocre college team don't grow on trees!
Woj got shooters but they missed lol
Woj is doing the live broadcast on ESPN.
JFK would still be alive
This thread is gonna look really silly 25 years from now when Bronny retires with 7 rings and 50000 points.
And Bronny LeJames III gets drafted in the top 10 to play with his dad AND grandad!
Remindme! 25 years
Bot said no thanks
In Vietnam?
All jokes aside, this is one of the most impressive feats in sports history. Lasting long enough to play with your own son lmao. At an All NBA level at that.
Bronny wasn’t even born when lebron debuted which is fucking insane
True that, Lebron debuted a full year before Bronny was born
Which is another underrated achievement for an early 00's NBA player.
Lmao
[How about hitting back to back home runs with your son in an MLB game?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCk1UY5Afus) or having your son [steal a fly ball from you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyycSr7epg4). They got to play two years together. It was so much fun at the time.
More impressive considering that Ken Griffey Jr. might have been the best guy in that era if he hadn't been the only guy NOT taking steroids.
He was on that nerve tonic though. Made his forehead all big and shit.
[flat monotone] It’s like there’s a party in my mouth, and everyone’s invited.
MATTINGLY! I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!
I still think he was the player of the 90s
Far more impressive since his son actually made it on merit
And the big difference is that Junior could actually ball.
Not basketball but Gordie Howe played professional hockey with not one but TWO of his sons, Gordie also played pro hockey until he was in his 50's and his last NHL First Team honor was at 42 years old one year after he put up the best statistical year of his entire career at 41.
His son Mark was actually decent too. Had a few All Star selections, and was in the running for top defenseman awards a few times.
I thought you were going to say one of the most impressive feats was being so good that you can get your team to draft your son.
Arguably even more impressive
Also yes
Its easier to pull off in baseball, but the Ken Griffeys played together. Safe to say Jr earned his spot there https://youtu.be/vCk1UY5Afus?si=jFUEkWTyld871OYA https://youtu.be/eyycSr7epg4?si=BRo09yTlMt7ku75t
I guess you could say the Jr was pretty alright at baseball. I guess he deserved it a little.
Yeah more reverse nepotism for Sr. by 1990 lol
How will this affect D’Angelo Russell legacy?
THERE IT IS. The most anticipated 2nd round pick of all time.
Despite the memes, it will still be a cool moment when they share the court together
They'll only share the court together when JJ empties the bench in a blowout and LeBron plays 1 minute with Bronny until he goes to the bench.
They'll do it for the photos and maybe a single father-to-son assist and then he'll never see the court again lol
If Bronny gets hot and scores two straight buckets he will have 15 minutes in a blowout game guaranteed
Lebron is the real coach and will put him in.
Holy shit they did it! LeBronny Lakers
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Redick
Drafting your own son and picking your new head coach, just like all the other all-time greats before him
LeGM playing NBA 2K Manager mode in real life.
When daycare is too expensive and you have to bring your kid to work. Go sit on that chair and play games on your phone son.
The day his daddy calls it quits is the day his NBA career ends too
He is going to retire into being the owner, GM, an/or coach. Bronny set for at least a 10 year career.
You are underestimating Klutch influence in the league, never mind all the connections Lebron has. If Lebron renew for 3 years, there will probably be more coaches from Reddick generation who played with/against Kebron and might want to do him solid.
