Who gives a crap about the James family. Why is the kid getting so much coverage. He sucks!

Meanwhile Knecht is being sat out for him.

Knecht can play. He's got game.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. He’s being sat out so bronny can play.

Welp knicks and wolves have some stuff to figure out with their trades. Both teams looking like they don’t know to utilize their new asset.

Bonds still had to make contact for that ball to go over the fence.

Bron relies on calls and flops for his stats.

Bron still needs to put the ball in the basket. Same thing. He's not scoring 20+ PPG based solely on calls he gets at 40 years old, or close to 40. He's in his 21st season, which is insane. His athleticism, skill, and BB IQ is undeniable. What keeps him from surpassing MJ as the GOAT though is the fact he plays for the refs too much and seeks those bailouts.

How long until Bronny getting playing time over other guys starts to mess up Lakers locker room?

I'm sure it is already affecting the guys internally.

Side note, did anyone see the clip where Book say's "he's just not good" while Bronny was shooting his free throws? Book denied it, but the video is there.

It is getting so much attention because it has never happened before. A father and son duo playing in the NBA together (and on the same team). They even had Ken Griffey, Sr. and Jr. sitting prominently at the game to make a huge deal of another father and son duo from another sport.

Great. You had your moment. You made history. Now get Bronny to a developmental level team - or the end of the bench - and play Knecht.

I understand but it was real with the Griffey's, this is all sideshow. It's even more fake than if Memphis had signed Scottie to play a quarter with his kid. What's next, put Dr Ruth out there with Babe Ruth and hope no one notices they're not related, or alive?

This is good, right?

If the Lakers want to play Bronny over Knecht, that's fine by me, but Knecht played 13 more minutes in comparison.

If these were cameo appearances, father with son, it would make more sense. I would even cheer it.
