On June 30, it was reported that at the NBA draft that ended in the early morning of June 28, Beijing time, 19-year-old USC guard Bronny James was selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick, and Bronny and LeBron James became the first pair of father-son stars in history. A few days ago, Yang Yi, a domestic basketball celebrity, commented on Bronny's selection by the Lakers on the show.
In the second round of the NBA Draft held in the early morning of June 28, Beijing time, NBA Vice President Mark Tatum announced that the Lakers selected Bronny James from the University of Southern California with the 55th pick.
James father and son have also become the first father and son team in NBA history, and it is difficult to have another pair as far as the eye can see.
Bronny currently plays for the University of Southern California, is 1.87 meters tall barefoot and plays as a defender. In his freshman season, Bronny appeared in 25 games, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.3 minutes per game. It should be said that if you only look at the player's stats, then Bronny is almost impossible to be selected.
In the show, James commented on the incident, saying, "I can only say that Brownie's dad is really amazing!" First, James is really capable! No way, this is a condition, do you Lakers want me to play here? If you want me to play here, you've got to meet my conditions. Don't look at me at 39 years old, my ability is here, I still have this level. ”
"Second, James's connections are really wide, and his influence is indeed great! All I had to do was bring Bronny to the draft, and the media attention would definitely increase. I think this is normal, because as adults who have been in society for so many years, we have long passed the relationship, including going through the back door, and we are extremely angry when we see the back door, we are long past that age. Because it's useless for you to be angry, it's all normal. ”
Regarding Yang Yi's opinion, netizens said, "I'm not a fan of Lao Zhan, but what profession has reached the point where Lao Zhan is in that position, and which country has no relationship?" ”
"You have a strong relationship, and you can explain it at this level"
"To make an NBA championship for my son, looking at the past and present, only LeBron should be able to do it, think about the real magic"
"Do you want to compare with Jordan?"
"A broken second-round pick, what is not powerful. Who can you choose to ensure the success? Choosing a brownie can also get media attention. ”
"Say to the graduating college students: If you have a relationship, use it quickly, don't dream of working your own! It's the same all over the world! ”
"Zhan Zhan: The middle-class special case is 12.5 million US dollars, buy my son to stay with the Lakers for three years, I will sign for three years, at least 3 years, no matter how my son plays, I can't cut, I can't change, I can't lose it, my son, I can only help you for three years, and it's up to you to play it in three years! Lakers: No, you signed it, or took a salary cut, didn't the money still go to you, 12.5 million to buy a three-year contract, I heard this calculation anywhere in the world."
