19-year-old USC guard Bronny James was drafted by the Lakers with the 55th pick. The American media directly ridiculed the picture: James father and son scored 40,474 points. (James scored 40474)
In the second round of the NBA Draft this morning, the Lakers used the No. 55 pick in their hands to take Bronny James into their arms, and finally fulfilled the wish of James father and son on the same stage, in the words of netizens: It is convenient to commute to work, but Bronny's freedom has been cut.
In the Chicago Combined tryout in May, Bronny struggled in the first 5v5 matchup and bounced back to score a game-high 13 points in the second. And during these two trial sessions, thick eyebrows watched with James, and thick eyebrows said that they were very impressed by Bronny's defense, so when asked by reporters whether the Lakers would be angry after signing Bronny, thick eyebrows said of course not.
And ESPN's Woj told the outside world after Bronny was drafted by the Lakers: I don't want NBA fans to call Bronny James' joining the Lakers "nepotism".
"I don't want to hear these criticisms — people talk about nepotism all the time," he said. The NBA is full of nepotism, owners, management, coaches. I don't want to hear that all of a sudden because Bronny James' father played for the Lakers. This is common in leagues. ”
While NBA roster Skip gave some behind-the-scenes information about the Lakers' wish to sign Bronny, former Warriors general manager Bob Myers said on ESPN that Rich Paul has made it clear to any team that wants to get Bronny — don't pick him. If you want to draft Bronny, then you're going to get the news that Bronny is going to play in Australia.
Now that the draft is over, I'm really excited to see James and his son on the stage, as this has never happened before in the history of the NBA.
