Bleacher Report (DR)
While the sporting future of Bronny James is closely scrutinized by fans and observers alike, LeBron’s son was not called by Adam Silver during the first round. A big disappointment for the nugget… who suffered mockery in the process.
The first round of the NBA draft was the scene of some great joys among the contenders of the 2024 vintage.
The French in particular were at the party with three Tricolores in the Top 6, including Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr who occupy the first two places.
But for others, it was above all a source of disappointment… and in this case, we find in particular the poor Bronny James.
Given that he is LeBron’s son, the young guard has to deal with a fairly intense media spotlight, as was already the case during his only college season.
And apparently, scouts decided that he didn’t deserve a spot in the Top 30. Understandable after a frankly complicated NCAA campaign…
As a result, some Internet users didn’t hesitate to mock him after the end of the evening.
Fans mock Bronny James after first round
Bronny Jamais would have been selected in 59th position by Wendy’s (American fast-food chain, editor’s note), according to league sources.
This is obviously very cruel to Bronny, but hardly surprising.
The father’s detractors are now also letting loose on the son, especially since rumors are circulating about an arrival at the Lakers.
It remains to be seen whether the Purple and Gold will really get their hands on him, if another franchise will do it… or if he will end up excluded from the 2024 draft class in a few hours. In the meantime, the haters are having a field day.
LeBron did a great job with him. It’s time to flip some steaks
It’s going to be the opposite of Nikola Jokic. He’s going to be drafted by Taco Bell while the draft isn’t on commercial break.
The second round of the draft is tonight, so all is not lost for Bronny James. But whatever happens, the son of the Chosen One will have to deal with a lot of pressure on his shoulders… We’ve seen better ways to launch an NBA career.
