“Who Cares???” - Rich Eisen Claps Back at the Criticism Lakers are Getting for Drafting Bronny James

Can't believe LeBron is sleeping with his teammates own mom 😂

D.Sanders and Son’s say there’s Absolutely nothing wrong with that move.

The media is taking the LeBron apologia to a whole new level. Who cares? How about the people that didn't get drafted that were better than him

How TF does someone who averaged 4PPG get drafted... nepotism. Could have signed him as a free agent if they really wanted him.

People in the media defending bronny because they also are nepotism

I think it's pathetic to watch the media pander to LeBron to the point of pretending nepotism is not a problem. It's disgusting all the time, the fact it's already existing doesn't make this example of it any better. You guys are pathetic falling over yourselves to make excuses for the hypocritical bs.

He wasn't even good enough to play in college.

4.8 ppg on 36% from the field, 27% from 3 and at a small 6’2 guard only 67% from the line on a sub .500 team in the softest conference in college basketball, I’m all for parents wanting to set their kids up for success but this is just a pure handout and it’s disappointing, Bronny could probably be NBA ready with a few more years under his belt but LeBron is pushing his kid into a situation he’s not ready for just so he can “play with his son” like we care at all or that makes him better than Jordan lmao

Bronny won't be his own man for the rest of his life.

I thought it was a Taco Bell commercial

Yet another reason why I call the NBA 'Not Basketball Anymore'. Actually, could care less. Will Bronny have an exclusive ESPN special where he decides if he's going to sign the contract?

"Daddy, pass me the ball!" - Bronny, probably

Enough people think that the NBA is "orchestrated" and this is another example

Anthony Davis wants the Lakers to sign his Uncle Bucket, so he can play I. The NBA as his lifelong dream, before he turns 65....

The Lakers drafted a “Make a wish kid” last night. Lebrons wish.

It’s about drafting the best player available period not draft your son because of what his father did 💯

Someone out there has worked their entire life to go pro in the NBA. Maybe they’re from a small town in the south, no indoor courts within 30 miles, and they practiced everyday to make a local low level competitive league adjacent to high school. Then they got better, grew to a solid playing height, and eventually played a full four years in college with good, but not superstar stats. This was a D1 school but they didn’t make the tournament. This person is hoping to get drafted somewhere in the second round so they can prove themselves one more time and make it to the pinnacle courts in the sport. And then Bronny James gets drafted. How’s that for a narrative Rich? That’s who it matters to. I care about that person infinitely more than the son of the best player to ever play, sorry not sorry. Makes a mockery of the spirit of competition and the spirit of “it doesn’t matter who you are, where you came from, what matters is how you play”.

The draft should be based on merit not what your last name is

Ask these ppl to name literally ANY other player that was eligible to be drafted and they can’t do it, but YES it’s absolutely disgusting to draft a kid with a pick that no superstar has ever been drafted with. It’s all performative and disingenuous bs.

It's possible that THIS is one of Rich's All-Time Worst Takes.
