"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes," this sentence now seems to be okay in any place. I remember someone once said that there is no love for people abroad, and many things are more pure, but with James's son Bronny being selected by the Lakers, such "rumors" seem to be self-defeating.
On June 28, the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft continued, and the second day was the most focused compared to the first day of the NBA champion. Because this time, there are two people who have attracted much attention, one is James's son Bronny, and the other is Chinese teenager Cui Yongxi.
Although James is one of the best in the history of the NBA and has a high basketball talent, his son Bronny's development does not seem to meet expectations, in fact, this kind of thing is not an exception, many sports stars have no talent from their parents, and in the end they are not with everyone. For example, Jordan's son, Jordan once personally admitted that his son was not talented enough to play in the NBA, after all, the data is there, so he doesn't force it.
In fact, James's son Bronny, if you talk about talent, is definitely not as good as his father James, he is 1.87 meters tall, and during college, he played 25 times, but he only averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
Even if it is placed in a domestic university, it is not outstanding, but it is such data, he was successfully selected by the Lakers, it is worth noting that with Bronny's selection, he is expected to play with his 39-year-old father James next season, playing "father and son basketball", if it is really as expected, then James and Bronny will also be the only pair of father and son in NBA history who can compete on the same stage. James itself has a high commercial value, and if it is a "father-son basketball", it will naturally bring high commercial value.
When announcing that Brownie was selected, he sat on the sofa, very anxious, it could be seen that he was very nervous, and his heart was even more mixed, if he failed to choose his dream, and it may bring some bad public opinion to his father, for so many years, his father stood in the spotlight, Brownie wanted to catch up with his father's footsteps, and also wanted to be able to realize his dreams and prove his ability.
After learning that he was drafted by the Lakers, Bronny breathed a sigh of relief, put on a hat that belonged to the drafter, and slowly lowered his head because he was one step closer to his dream. In addition, Savannah, who was standing on the side, also shed tears, such tears were excited, moved, thinking of Brownie's persistence for so many years, and finally paid off, and the tears were also naturally revealed.
In fact, it can be seen that the act of shedding tears also represents a lot of pressure, and the emotional backlog will only explode to a certain extent. And when Bronny was at the beginning, his eyes were also dull, and he even forgot to wear a hat, it can be seen that he is also under a lot of pressure and nervous, even if he is James's son, Bronny cannot guarantee that he will be selected, therefore, his nervousness and pressure are normal.
Looking at Bronny's determined eyes, I believe that he will redouble his efforts in the future and strive to become the next generation of top players in the NBA. However, such a thing still caused a lot of controversy, the reason is very simple, everyone thinks that the NBA draft looks at ability, and the higher the ability, the higher the ability, the natural ability can be selected, and netizens believe that Bronny does not have this strength, and being able to be selected depends on the "relationship" of James, a good father.

In fact, we can't say much about this matter, after all, the draft can't explain all the problems, because in the entire history of the NBA, there are many "parallel import" players, and players with low rankings are also inspirational to succeed. Although everyone thinks that the fairness of this is doubtful, there is no way to explain many things, and there are no hard and fast rules, and it is the team's final say who is selected, and maybe the team will have a more scientific model for selecting people.
And the Chinese teenager Cui Yongxi does not have such good luck, because the draft is a comprehensive strength test, if the skills are not up to standard, it is naturally difficult.
In addition, he is 21 years old, and for everyone else to come to the draft at the age of 19, age is not dominant, strength age and all aspects, he will regret not being selected in the end, in fact, many people have guessed it, and the final result is the same.
However, according to the latest news, Choi Yong-hee has signed a contract with the Trail Blazers, which is an activity for the summer league, which is also a preseason training camp. To be honest, this kind of contract is a good contract for a marginal player, and he can improve himself through training, but it is still difficult to really enter the NBA and stabilize his position.
But no matter what, if you have a dream, you still have to chase it, whether it is Bronny or Choi Yongxi, they all have their own NBA dreams, and they are working hard to realize their dreams in their own way.
What are your thoughts on this?
