You Mac worshippers need to get it through your heads. If an NBA player isn't a starter, they need to be a good role player in support of a starting roster. What role off the bench do you think Mac can fill? In G-League, he pads his stats by being an offensive ball hog and then loafing on defense. His shooting % and 3 pt % are in actuality mediocre, and that's at the G-League level, not the NBA. What makes you amateur armchair analysts, think you know better than NBA scouts, coaches, and GM'S? Bronny is a special case because of who his daddy is. So comparing the two and whining, it's not fair is pointless. The NBA is about profits. It's a business and a father/son story is good for profits.

As a Lakers fan since 1996, I’m no booster of Mac McClung. The dudes had a slew of opportunities. His problem is that he doesn’t play team basketball. Most of the time he can’t hit the broadside of a barn, He’s a turnover machine and he’s a complete liability on the defense end of the floor, but he sure can dunk…in practice. Let’s remember he’s more than six years older than Bronnie too. I think Bronny will make mincemeat of him in six years. But by all means keep tearing down and insulting and trashing a teenager…that’s totally not creepy unfair and disgusting but you know I’m sure it’s good for views and clicks though, so…🤷🙄
@@HububkiFilmsAlso G-leauge ROY(that's rookie it the year moron) a championship scoring title(not bad for a person who can't side of a barn) oh yeah and an MVP of the leauge
@@HububkiFilms agreed. I’ll add that McClung did not have the vision, decision making of a point guard, 3-pt shooting, defense nor passing when I watched in the G-league on the Lakers when he was younger and yet still much older than Bronny entering the league. Bronny will be the better player if he can stay healthy. If he does grow another 2 inches or so his upside will likely increase.
Mac MaClung can play at the NBA level. In my opinion he has earned a one year contract, a real chance to prove himself. Especially coming off an MVP season in the G-League
I saw James play with USC when they came to Seattle last season and he came off the bench and was a total non-factor in the game. D.J. Rodman definitely contributed to their win. There are a lot of players in the G League better than Bronny James. Sociologist say the most important thing in life with regard to success is who your parents are. They may be right.
@@SwishCultureexactly that’s what most drafts are about. Bronny is a better defender than Mac. Mac is definitely a better scorer. But Bronny has better physicality than Mac. They are about the same height. But Bronny has longer arms, Bronny is stronger but Mac doesn’t have the physicalities . And Mac is also a liability on defense. And Bronny is a better defender who can become a 2 way. But I hope Mac gets a chance as well
While I think he didn't have to work as hard (to stand out) and he does have some help in draft spots. he'll have to be good to stay in the league beyond a couple years once teams aren't coming after LeBron as much

Uhmmm...he has had chances, he literally has played in a handfull regular season NBA games. Which means he has had multiple 10day contracts and/or 2way contracts....meaning he has been a PRACTICE with multiple teams. Being at practice means you at minimum will have the coaching staff's eye on you at some point...and they ALL passed! I live in Delaware and saw him twice when he played for the BlueCoats...he's good, but to the "Eye Test" he just doesn't look (or feel) like an NBA full-time roster player. With that said, I live close to the Sixers so I go see there games a few times a year, ive seen what NBA guards look like with the "Eye Test" NBA Guards just look (and feel) different than Mac McCLung. He's a good basketball player, but not an NBA player....and I don't understand why people OUTSIDE the NBA Scouting and Coaching world doesn't see that? Everyone wants Mac to be a full-time pro, when simply he's just not. Now the Bronny James situation...thats a whole other conversation that 100's of people are having all over the media and youtube...and ive never seen him play, so I cant speak on his skills, ive never even watched and of his USC games, just the highlights shown during the draft.
@@blackeddie154 Mac McClung been WAITING since 2021 yall just NOW complaining at the END of the 2024 season within all that time, apparently Mac wasnt better than 4 years of draft prospects ..
Not so fast. The beauty of sports it’s also about winning. When bronny causes his father to lose maybe miss the chance at another ring something money can’t buy, lebron will be singing a very different tune. You see how emotional Lebron gets on the court is he going to control himself when his son fuks up and costs them the game. He didn’t stop to think that basketball is also Lebrons job and a good way to ruin a relationship is to work with someone close to you because you can’t be as professional as you need to be in this case to win. He has to worry about ruining the relationship he has with his son or vice versa it gets very complicated also Bronny on the court with his father isn’t going to have the same respect level as other players it’s like your parent teaching your class for you in highschool.
I agree with you 1000% Mac McClung should get an offer this off-season. And the Lakers should've kept him over Austin Reaves. Honestly, the Lakers should get both of them.
There’s a variety of biased reasons that top tier hoopers don’t make rosters. After spending 35 years of my life in the game as a player, trainer, scout, coach I’m not seeing why Mac isn’t in a rotation somewhere. His game is elite. I have 2 kids who played for me who are in the NBA right now going into there 3rd season and Mac is as good or better then both.
McClung, every time. Bronny's nba career will hew suspiciously close to whatever time LeBron has remaining in the league. McClung has room to develop into a decent bench player, Bronny not so much.
Another thing wrong with the NBA is the disrespect towards to ppl who are under 6’2 and can hoop not getting any shots to show their skills also they did sharife cooper dirty
Wait 10-15 more years until European teams start paying the higher salaries. The fan base is there, the talent is there. NBA is ruining itself with this drama focused environment. Can't wait till the likes of Lebron, Harden, Kyre and KD's retire. Their talent is so great but all this drama doesn't help the league. It makes it look weak. In my opinion Europe will win the bid to great players eventually, and it will be harsh for some of them when they try to pull the drama queen card and it just won't work
Don’t forget Mac shot 50%from the field and 40% from deep with a little less than 3 makes per game this season, so it’s safe to say the concerns on his three point shot should be over. Plus many players such as Trae young and Steph curry( before he bulked up to almost 200 pound) were able to overcome their lack of defense through high offensive contribution and being hidden during defense through defense strategies. Mac definitely needs a chance FR.
Bro did you say mcclung has low foot speed? Are you serious??? He literally has the fastest clocked time EVER in the 3/4 court sprint and he constantly blows by defenders half court or full court like a mouse. They cant catch him. Hes literally one of the fastest and quickest players ever. Some of you youtubers just need to go on and hang it up.. Ridiculous..
@@SwishCultureyou’re full of shit he constantly plays defense on players 6 to 8 inches taller than him, and he always holds his own, do some score on him, sure they do, but I’ve seen Lebron get smoked on defense many times too
Foot speed on Defense factors in lateral quickness and reaction time. He might be fast in an all out sprint but he doesn’t have the defensive reaction time to match his true speed. Although he is making defensive improvements.
@@SwishCulturehe actually plays pretty decent on ball defense. I don’t see many players blow by him. Where he struggles is shot contesting against driving opponents. That’s where his lack of length is most apparent.
How the lie that he is an elite defender got started is beyond me. My only guess is that a lot of defense depends on intangibles that can't be backed up easily with stats unlike offense. I think his defenders (no pun intended) use this narrative because it's not easily proven or disproven.
What's wrong with the NBA, notwithstanding this obvious nepotism, is every team is a constantly changing chess board, with players coming and going/being traded or ditched, with no team capable or willing to hold together a core group of players (like 10 or more) for longer than a year. Instead of working on improving and building something, it's just what balance of talent can we put together to win a championship, and if it doesn't work out immediately, scrap or gut the team and start again and repeat. Loyalty to a team/town died years ago, along with humility, grace, sportsmanship, and unpredictable play.
I think you guys missed the point. This happened everywhere, in the workplace, school, business, and such. The people with the money will put their kids in places where they will stay on top. It isn't fair, but it's how the world works.
@fullmetal1766 good point, but he is in control. He has influence, and people want him to play for them. These organizations will make that sacrifice to keep him.
I don't think Bronny deserves a contract at all, but let's face it, neither does Mac. He's peaked at the G-League level, but there's nowhere to go but down.
It's not only the story of people who would never make it in the NBA there are some that be lucky to even see the G League that won't be drafted but Bronny gets a spot in the NBA because of nepotism when he's not good enough even for the G League. This year is a weak draft don't get me wrong but for others, this could have been their last chance to get in.
Bro did you say the "aeriola" magic. Yup. Confimed you have no idea who mcclung is as a player. Calling him short and slow like every other casual hater..
I'm not calling him slow, but he is short. He has glaring deficiencies even at the G-League level. He's all offense, mediocre defense. At that height, he needs to be Gary Payton good on defense, and he's simply not.The dunking doesn't even enter into the conversation. How often does he dunk in a game with somebody guarding him even at the G-League level?
@@philosoraptor2285 bro aren't you the same dude that claimed he couldn't even make a G league squad and he was "unemployed" with laughing emojis before this season started?.. bro won MVP of the whole league. Your opinion got knocked out by Jake Paul 💀
Exactly. One scout roasted him for that fact on ESPN. He literally said that in the combine everyone that he was matched against scored on him. I don't understand how this zombie lie continues live.
@@diggidy5367 Uhhh, good defense does not equate to holding your opponent to 0 points.... That almost never happens unless the offensive player, is sick, injured, or just not in the right state fo mind.
Bronny averaged 4 points per game at USC. Mcclung averaged 13 a game at Georgetown his freshman year. Both averaged 2 assists a game. Neither are rebounding studs and shouldn’t be. Mcclung can guard the 1 and 2 decently. Bronny can’t guard the bench. It’s literally not that hard to understand who the better talent is. You don’t get G league mvp without improving your game. It’s sad that people would defend a browny James because of his skin tone vs a mcclungs talent. Saying mcclung deserves an nba spot vs anyone else that’s getting one is not racist but logic. The racism is just a coping mechanism for shortcomings in your own lives.
@JoseyWales-yo8hq Yeah, but by the end of his junior year, McClung averaged 15.9 points per game. That's not much improvement over 3 years. That's also not the type of stats scouts want to see coming out of college from an undersized shooting guard. He isn't a natural point guard, and it shows.
Get your facts straight he set the record for the 40 yards dash in Draft Combine. He is fast, jumps high, tall enough for a PG and has a great 3pt percentage. He also has good defense capabilities thanks to his quick returns and vertical.
Mac Mclung definetly deserves a roster spot in the NBA, he could be a solid player off the bench. Bronny got drafted due to his dad, yes. But, Bronny does have potential, he is really young, has good defense, & good athleticism, we really just have to give him time & see how good he turns out

Apparently LeBron is no less delusional than most other parents. He might consider just buying Bronny a hedge fund, maybe he can become a true power player ...
99.9999% of players weren’t drafted that way. Why care about the 1 in a million player who gets selected because of his connections. There have been other stars who got their sons drafted as well. Lebron is just the most popular star so it gets more attention
@cjscott4293 have nothing to do with lebron being his dad.. bronny average 4pts a game on a one year bid he's not worthy being drafted especially comparing him to other propects that's by far more productive than him. U can't name a player that got drafted with numbers like his? The integrity of sports is gone.. now he can go the g league route and work for it!

@yngking5496 It's his father that's an embarrassment. Putting a son who isn't really good enough to play in the NBA on his team because he said so is pure bs. The coach and GM had no say in the matter unless they wanted to lose Lebron. If you ask me, they should have let him go and started over with an overdue rebuild. Watch, they won't win another championship with Lebron on the team. 🤣
In high school, I remember how half the girls on the varsity basketball team were listed at 6'. I'm 5'11" and none of the girls were taller than me. It's almost like people say to themselves, I play basketball. Let me just add 2-3 inches to my listed height." IDK... maybe giving themselves credit for shoes? Only bball is where l constantly see this. Only KD lists his height by subtracting a few inches.
The point of all this is that the NBA is giving one of the greatest players to do it his flowers. The King came into the league at 19 years of age. He is now 39 years old. I'm not talking about his game. I'm talking about this Black Man himself. What can you say negative about this BLACK MAN from the projects? What can you say negative about the family he made and raised? Tell me one negative thing about his character? From being an activist on police brutality and equality for blacks. His school in Cleveland to grands for teenagers for college to charitable events and charities to raise money for kids to have money to go to college. All while keeping his name out of the media for anything negative about him personally and his family. For 20 years this BLACK MAN did all this while being the face of the NBA. What other reason would this globally recognized organization do something like this? It's clearly not his Bronny's skill level. The King is ready to retire. For the first time in the NBA. His one wish was to play a year with his son before leaving the game. For all he has do e for the youth and the game of basketball. I'm not mad one bit. That's 100 % respect from the NBA for this BLACK MAN as a person.
Mcclung went to a small small town high school in gate city va about 15 miles away from where I live…he never had a chance regardless of how talented he was
It's not right. Bronny basically getting a free ride thanks to his dad. It's complete B's in my opinion. And no I'm not hating on the kid at all. I was actually rooting for him and Bryce. But I can't root for a free ride just because your dad is LeBron
You also have to take in effect that if you hear their name longer and it’s associated better like Bonnie more people are gonna assume that he’s gonna be better than people like Mac McClung
This type of thing happens at any high school basketball program, where the coaches will make a controversial decision to cut one guy and select that one when it's pretty obvious merit or potential wasn't the deciding factor. There are valid reasons and arguments as to why McClung is not NBA material, which would theoretically suggest Bronny James is even less so, but that ain't how life in the big city works.
Bro, everyone knows bronny is getting all the attention because of his father,that isn't a secret.if he wasnt lebron son he wouldn't even make the g league,he wouldn't even make in the WNBAv
People hating on Bronny, as if he is the gatekeeper for every other team in the NBA. If 30 of the 31 teams don't sign McLung then people in the comments should reach out to those teams instead trying to trash Bronny. Teams draft who they want, and they hire who they want. Most of the top scorers in the NCAA dont get drafted to the nba
First they told Mac he couldn't jump. Then they told him that he has privilege. Yet he's still languishing in the G League until the next time the NBA needs to exploit his abilities for a short term gain.

Face it if Bronny didnt have the all time dad , nobody picks him even in late second. Dude looks like a budget Hardy on offense and is much shorter with no defensive upside.
This is completely fair. There are 30 teams in the league, and now it's the Lakers' fault for using their draft pick. Really? Make a video about all the other teams not drafting certain players. Here I'll give you one. Start with the Detroit Pistons not taking Zack Eddy with 5 pick.
Why are people saying Bronny is a better defender than MAC 😂 cuz he’s not… Bronny gets beat all the time. McClung is way more active on D and O than Bronny
I think defensively he's capable and his incident last season slowed him down. He's certainly got more looks than any other player not with his name though. Can't argue that.
You are not really saying anything, lottery guys end up in the gleague at out the league every year, what you did in college does not matter any more, i garauntee he will not be the worst rookie
Since when has NBA or any business been fair? Bronny has already earned the monetary value of his contract. No 55th pic has ever generated so much revenue so quickly. Bronny might flame out, but considering the fact that the chances of a 55th pick having an impact is slim, it's free money for Lakers and NBA. They could have picked a random player who would likely quietly not make the roster or make millions off of the attention.
@SwishCulture Not if you look at percentage points when compared to european born white players, white American players are waaaaay underrepresented in the nba. Just for a reference the last American born white all star player was Brad Miller in 2004. The last white american superstar was almost half a century ago, with Larry Bird in the 80s. I'm not complaining but just pointing out an uncomfortable truth.
@@poloplatinum74yep. Exactly. I'll take it a step further and say if Bronny was the son of a white ex NBA player he would be getting more heavily scrutinized by the media and wouldn't be an NBA prospect with his credentials. If this was JJ Reddick Jr or hypothetically Larry Bird Jr, all the ESPN talking heads and ex NBA players turned commentators would be destroying him and calling out the nepotism. Not that it matters but I post this as a Black man.

Not signing anything but nba contract. Why blow his cover for some meager pay ? He need to make a 15yr contract while his daddy can sign it. Trust me… after 3-4 games, he will expose himself. Dudes in NBA will target him and reveal his true potential. Deadass
I'm glad someone had the balls to make this video. This isn't Bronny's fault. Who could possibly blame him ? He's a good kid. But, Mac, at 6"2, has repeatedly been told he is too short to play in the NBA, despite winning a G-league championship, 2 NBA slam dunk championships, and working his buns off, to prove his doubters wrong. What would folks be saying about this, had this been say, Larry Bird's son, and he got picked in the draft, after scoring 4 pts per game, over an African American kid who scores around 20 ppg for 4 straight years in the G-league ? The league is filled with people who shout racism at the drop of a hat, but what would you call this situation ? The situation with drafting Bronny to the Lakers, is definitely nepotism, no matter what Stephen A. Smith and others, may say. The league has no problem employing white players, as long as they are European white players. But, American white players ? Very rare. And, yes, there are a few, like Austin Reaves, and the freshly drafted Dalton Kneckt, but they are a small minority. This is wrong, concerning Mac, and I'm talking before and after Bronny, who again, is just following his dream, as he should do. People love Mac, and want to see him play on the big stage. He's earned it. He deserves it. And, he would put butts in seats. PERIOD. If Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, at 5"3, could play 15 years, in an NBA that was FAR more physical than the run and gun, no touch game we see today, and Allen Iverson could be one of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen, at a claimed 6'0 ft, then there is NO EXCUSE for not signing Mac McClung to a one way contract on a real NBA team. Except for the color of his skin. Aren't we supposed to judge people by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin, or do we have a double standard ?
Because ppl allow it to happen and condone the bs instead of stopping it. The biggest cop out is the just how it works lol so ignorant it's how it works atm because that's what has been allowed to happen. Maybe people prefer that this is how the things should be but I certainly don't.
All I heard him say basically was bronny too small and needs a growth spurt to be any good in the league and another thing he was shooting 37/27/68 on 5 points with 20 minutes but ppl think he should instantly be better in the league when there is better and smarter defenders it’s gon be very hard for him.
It's not what you know it's who you know, overtime the table is turned, you cry. If Michael Jordan was born 30 years earlier, he would have been known that he would have been unknown today. Now you're experiencing what we go through every single day.
There have been a lot of times that professional organizations have drafted family members of key people in the organization. Years ago, there was a GM or high ranking member in MLB orgniztion that has his daughter drafted. According to Google, in the 1993 MLB draft, the Chicago White Sox drafted left handed pitcher Carey Schueler in the 43rd round. She was the first woman ever drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Ron Scueler was the member of the organization.
McClung doesn’t have the privilege Bronny has.

Most of the time he can’t hit the broadside of a barn, He’s a turnover machine and he’s a complete liability on the defense end of the floor, but he sure can dunk…in practice. Let’s remember he’s more than six years older than Bronnie too. I think Bronny will make mincemeat of him in six years. But by all means keep tearing down and insulting and trashing a teenager…that’s totally not creepy unfair and disgusting but you know I’m sure it’s good for views and clicks though, so…🤷🙄
@@HububkiFilmsAlso G-leauge ROY(that's rookie it the year moron) a championship scoring title(not bad for a person who can't side of a barn) oh yeah and an MVP of the leauge
@@HububkiFilms agreed. I’ll add that McClung did not have the vision, decision making of a point guard, 3-pt shooting, defense nor passing when I watched in the G-league on the Lakers when he was younger and yet still much older than Bronny entering the league. Bronny will be the better player if he can stay healthy. If he does grow another 2 inches or so his upside will likely increase.
Mac MaClung can play at the NBA level. In my opinion he has earned a one year contract, a real chance to prove himself. Especially coming off an MVP season in the G-League
🏀 Even i have better handles, passes, & layups than Bronny & I'm in my 40's 🤣 Highlights on my channel to prove it 💪😎👍
I saw James play with USC when they came to Seattle last season and he came off the bench and was a total non-factor in the game. D.J. Rodman definitely contributed to their win. There are a lot of players in the G League better than Bronny James. Sociologist say the most important thing in life with regard to success is who your parents are. They may be right.
I think his draft is more for his potential than anything
I agree this more so name notoriety and politics I hate to see it but that's basketball and business
@@SwishCultureexactly that’s what most drafts are about. Bronny is a better defender than Mac. Mac is definitely a better scorer. But Bronny has better physicality than Mac. They are about the same height. But Bronny has longer arms, Bronny is stronger but Mac doesn’t have the physicalities . And Mac is also a liability on defense. And Bronny is a better defender who can become a 2 way. But I hope Mac gets a chance as well
@@SwishCulture This is no longer the National Basketball Association. It's called the National Bron Association.😂😂
Look up JZ Zaher. Until you say sum about him, shut up
Bronny never had to earn a roster spot. Not in High School, not in college, and now it looks like the nba is next.
While I think he didn't have to work as hard (to stand out) and he does have some help in draft spots. he'll have to be good to stay in the league beyond a couple years once teams aren't coming after LeBron as much
@@SwishCultureI doubt it. Look at Giannis brother or Udonis at the end of his career. Just hype man.

He ain't got what it takes, neither. He canylt guard enough said.

@@simonbelmont548 TONS of players in the league couldn't guard a tree stump, so what's your point ? The guy is too white. THAT is the problem.
Uhmmm...he has had chances, he literally has played in a handfull regular season NBA games.
Which means he has had multiple 10day contracts and/or 2way contracts....meaning he has been a PRACTICE with multiple teams.
Being at practice means you at minimum will have the coaching staff's eye on you at some point...and they ALL passed!
I live in Delaware and saw him twice when he played for the BlueCoats...he's good, but to the "Eye Test" he just doesn't look (or feel) like an NBA full-time roster player.
With that said, I live close to the Sixers so I go see there games a few times a year, ive seen what NBA guards look like with the "Eye Test"
NBA Guards just look (and feel) different than Mac McCLung. He's a good basketball player, but not an NBA player....and I don't understand why people OUTSIDE the NBA Scouting and Coaching world doesn't see that? Everyone wants Mac to be a full-time pro, when simply he's just not.
Now the Bronny James situation...thats a whole other conversation that 100's of people are having all over the media and youtube...and ive never seen him play, so I cant speak on his skills, ive never even watched and of his USC games, just the highlights shown during the draft.

Not so fast. The beauty of sports it’s also about winning. When bronny causes his father to lose maybe miss the chance at another ring something money can’t buy, lebron will be singing a very different tune. You see how emotional Lebron gets on the court is he going to control himself when his son fuks up and costs them the game. He didn’t stop to think that basketball is also Lebrons job and a good way to ruin a relationship is to work with someone close to you because you can’t be as professional as you need to be in this case to win. He has to worry about ruining the relationship he has with his son or vice versa it gets very complicated also Bronny on the court with his father isn’t going to have the same respect level as other players it’s like your parent teaching your class for you in highschool.

Mc biggest weakness is Bronny's biggest strenght: his DAD
Mc's dad was his training coach, helped him and his friends to get his vert and shiftness, I don't think it's the case. But I get it, LJ.
There’s a variety of biased reasons that top tier hoopers don’t make rosters. After spending 35 years of my life in the game as a player, trainer, scout, coach I’m not seeing why Mac isn’t in a rotation somewhere. His game is elite. I have 2 kids who played for me who are in the NBA right now going into there 3rd season and Mac is as good or better then both.
McClung, every time. Bronny's nba career will hew suspiciously close to whatever time LeBron has remaining in the league. McClung has room to develop into a decent bench player, Bronny not so much.
I think Mac should've gotten his shot before Bronny for sure.
Another thing wrong with the NBA is the disrespect towards to ppl who are under 6’2 and can hoop not getting any shots to show their skills also they did sharife cooper dirty

Offensively they can hang, but they can be defensive holes because they can't guard taller players.
Wait 10-15 more years until European teams start paying the higher salaries. The fan base is there, the talent is there. NBA is ruining itself with this drama focused environment. Can't wait till the likes of Lebron, Harden, Kyre and KD's retire. Their talent is so great but all this drama doesn't help the league. It makes it look weak. In my opinion Europe will win the bid to great players eventually, and it will be harsh for some of them when they try to pull the drama queen card and it just won't work
Damn that’s an excellent comparison in terms of opportunities. Mac is a better baller than Bronny for sure, even when Mac in college.

they wrong for this if they let Bronny on but put McClung in the G-League
Thing is. Mcclung draft class was Much more skilled than bronny’s class right now. If mcclung was in this class. He’d be talked about
Bingo
Don’t forget Mac shot 50%from the field and 40% from deep with a little less than 3 makes per game this season, so it’s safe to say the concerns on his three point shot should be over. Plus many players such as Trae young and Steph curry( before he bulked up to almost 200 pound) were able to overcome their lack of defense through high offensive contribution and being hidden during defense through defense strategies. Mac definitely needs a chance FR.
He's gotten a lot better.
Bro did you say mcclung has low foot speed? Are you serious??? He literally has the fastest clocked time EVER in the 3/4 court sprint and he constantly blows by defenders half court or full court like a mouse. They cant catch him. Hes literally one of the fastest and quickest players ever. Some of you youtubers just need to go on and hang it up.. Ridiculous..
Calm down, buddy. I've seen him get blown by enough.
@@SwishCultureyou’re full of shit he constantly plays defense on players 6 to 8 inches taller than him, and he always holds his own, do some score on him, sure they do, but I’ve seen Lebron get smoked on defense many times too
Foot speed on Defense factors in lateral quickness and reaction time. He might be fast in an all out sprint but he doesn’t have the defensive reaction time to match his true speed. Although he is making defensive improvements.
@@SwishCulturehe actually plays pretty decent on ball defense. I don’t see many players blow by him. Where he struggles is shot contesting against driving opponents. That’s where his lack of length is most apparent.
IF Mac McMclung should be in the NBA

McClung is one of the hardest working basketball players maybe ever. Been that way since he was very young.
Lots of lies about bronny here nothing he does is at an NBA level and he has never shown he can guard anyone everything is on tape why lie about it
How the lie that he is an elite defender got started is beyond me. My only guess is that a lot of defense depends on intangibles that can't be backed up easily with stats unlike offense. I think his defenders (no pun intended) use this narrative because it's not easily proven or disproven.
What's wrong with the NBA, notwithstanding this obvious nepotism, is every team is a constantly changing chess board, with players coming and going/being traded or ditched, with no team capable or willing to hold together a core group of players (like 10 or more) for longer than a year. Instead of working on improving and building something, it's just what balance of talent can we put together to win a championship, and if it doesn't work out immediately, scrap or gut the team and start again and repeat. Loyalty to a team/town died years ago, along with humility, grace, sportsmanship, and unpredictable play.
If matt was lebron son he be drafted 1
I think you guys missed the point. This happened everywhere, in the workplace, school, business, and such. The people with the money will put their kids in places where they will stay on top. It isn't fair, but it's how the world works.
Your forgetting lebron is an employee he doesn't own anything in the nba lol it's pretty different and it's sports

Mac should get a contract
I don't think Bronny deserves a contract at all, but let's face it, neither does Mac. He's peaked at the G-League level, but there's nowhere to go but down.
It's not only the story of people who would never make it in the NBA there are some that be lucky to even see the G League that won't be drafted but Bronny gets a spot in the NBA because of nepotism when he's not good enough even for the G League.
This year is a weak draft don't get me wrong but for others, this could have been their last chance to get in.
Bro did you say the "aeriola" magic. Yup. Confimed you have no idea who mcclung is as a player. Calling him short and slow like every other casual hater..
Areola** It was supposed to either get you mad or make you laugh. Didn't realize I was a casual hater of Mac. Whoops.
I'm not calling him slow, but he is short. He has glaring deficiencies even at the G-League level. He's all offense, mediocre defense.

Bronny averaged 4 points per game at USC. Mcclung averaged 13 a game at Georgetown his freshman year. Both averaged 2 assists a game. Neither are rebounding studs and shouldn’t be. Mcclung can guard the 1 and 2 decently. Bronny can’t guard the bench. It’s literally not that hard to understand who the better talent is. You don’t get G league mvp without improving your game. It’s sad that people would defend a browny James because of his skin tone vs a mcclungs talent. Saying mcclung deserves an nba spot vs anyone else that’s getting one is not racist but logic. The racism is just a coping mechanism for shortcomings in your own lives.
@JoseyWales-yo8hq Yeah, but by the end of his junior year, McClung averaged 15.9 points per game. That's not much improvement over 3 years. That's also not the type of stats scouts want to see coming out of college from an undersized shooting guard. He isn't a natural point guard, and it shows.
Don't be surprised if the owners start drafting their grand kids 🤷🏻♂️in a few years
Get your facts straight he set the record for the 40 yards dash in Draft Combine. He is fast, jumps high, tall enough for a PG and has a great 3pt percentage. He also has good defense capabilities thanks to his quick returns and vertical.
If Michael Jordans sons were halfway decent, they would've gotten attention as well
They averaged more than 4.7 in college.
Marcus Jordan lead his team in scoring one year, if Bronny put Marcus Jordan numbers, he would be going in the lottery
I though Ant is his son? That thing is not true?
One was better
Yall flaunt your ignorance with pride. Marcus Jordan averaged 13ppg. Jordan just didn't believe in rewarding mediocrity.
Mac Mclung definetly deserves a roster spot in the NBA, he could be a solid player off the bench. Bronny got drafted due to his dad, yes. But, Bronny does have potential, he is really young, has good defense, & good athleticism, we really just have to give him time & see how good he turns out

In high school, I remember how half the girls on the varsity basketball team were listed at 6'. I'm 5'11" and none of the girls were taller than me.

Only bball is where l constantly see this. Only KD lists his height by subtracting a few inches.
So he’s a shorter Josh Hart… I kinda understand how he’s gotten this far.
How the sixers let him slide is. Crazy. They reached down for 2 g league players that were not better than Mac. How sway?
The point of all this is that the NBA is giving one of the greatest players to do it his flowers. The King came into the league at 19 years of age. He is now 39 years old. I'm not talking about his game. I'm talking about this Black Man himself. What can you say negative about this BLACK MAN from the projects? What can you say negative about the family he made and raised? Tell me one negative thing about his character? From being an activist on police brutality and equality for blacks. His school in Cleveland to grands for teenagers for college to charitable events and charities to raise money for kids to have money to go to college. All while keeping his name out of the media for anything negative about him personally and his family. For 20 years this BLACK MAN did all this while being the face of the NBA. What other reason would this globally recognized organization do something like this? It's clearly not his Bronny's skill level. The King is ready to retire. For the first time in the NBA. His one wish was to play a year with his son before leaving the game. For all he has do e for the youth and the game of basketball. I'm not mad one bit. That's 100 % respect from the NBA for this BLACK MAN as a person.
“It’s all in who you know” is a factor in every other career field so why not in sports? Shit is crazy

You also have to take in effect that if you hear their name longer and it’s associated better like Bonnie more people are gonna assume that he’s gonna be better than people like Mac McClung

If McClung was 6”4 he got a shot quick . He would be a decent off the bench player for sure
This type of thing happens at any high school basketball program, where the coaches will make a controversial decision to cut one guy and select that one when it's pretty obvious merit or potential wasn't the deciding factor. There are valid reasons and arguments as to why McClung is not NBA material, which would theoretically suggest Bronny James is even less so, but that ain't how life in the big city works.

If 30 of the 31 teams don't sign McLung then people in the comments should reach out to those teams instead trying to trash Bronny. Teams draft who they want, and they hire who they want. Most of the top scorers in the NCAA dont get drafted to the nba

This is completely fair. There are 30 teams in the league, and now it's the Lakers' fault for using their draft pick. Really? Make a video about all the other teams not drafting certain players. Here I'll give you one. Start with the Detroit Pistons not taking Zack Eddy with 5 pick.
Why are people saying Bronny is a better defender than MAC 😂 cuz he’s not… Bronny gets beat all the time. McClung is way more active on D and O than Bronny

I think defensively he's capable and his incident last season slowed him down. He's certainly got more looks than any other player not with his name though. Can't argue that.
You are not really saying anything, lottery guys end up in the gleague at out the league every year, what you did in college does not matter any more, i garauntee he will not be the worst rookie
Since when has NBA or any business been fair? Bronny has already earned the monetary value of his contract. No 55th pic has ever generated so much revenue so quickly. Bronny might flame out, but considering the fact that the chances of a 55th pick having an impact is slim, it's free money for Lakers and NBA. They could have picked a random player who would likely quietly not make the roster or make millions off of the attention.
We ALL know it's because mcclung is a white American player. If mcclung was a black American, or a white european then he'd be in the league for sure.
There are plenty of white American players in the league.
@SwishCulture Not if you look at percentage points when compared to european born white players, white American players are waaaaay underrepresented in the nba. Just for a reference the last American born white all star player was Brad Miller in 2004. The last white american superstar was almost half a century ago, with Larry Bird in the 80s. I'm not complaining but just pointing out an uncomfortable truth.
@@poloplatinum74yep. Exactly. I'll take it a step further and say if Bronny was the son of a white ex NBA player he would be getting more heavily scrutinized by the media and wouldn't be an NBA prospect with his credentials. If this was JJ Reddick Jr or hypothetically Larry Bird Jr, all the ESPN talking heads and ex NBA players turned commentators would be destroying him and calling out the nepotism. Not that it matters but I post this as a Black man.
@diggidy5367 That's a really good point. I never thought about that... it's just crazy that the MVP of G-league can't get an NBA contract.
Here we go.. legitimately pressure Bronny have to answer too.. good video
Hey NBA... you want a revival in interest... put Mac on a team where he can start... not just come off the bench... he'll bring in millions in revenue...
No scout, coach, or GM agrees with you. Are you trying to pretend you know the game of basketball better than all of them? Say it ain't so?😅
@@philosoraptor2285 so you're in the know?!... basketball isn't rocket science... Mac's a winning competitor... the NBA is entertainment... Mac's very entertaining to watch...
@eagleeye761 No numbnuts, the NBA Scouts, Coaches, and GM's "are in the know." They're all repeatedly taking a pass on him. They know better than the rest of us wtf they want, and they all don't want Mac. 🤣
Not signing anything but nba contract. Why blow his cover for some meager pay ?
He need to make a 15yr contract while his daddy can sign it. Trust me… after 3-4 games, he will expose himself. Dudes in NBA will target him and reveal his true potential. Deadass
If mac was black he would be in the league already it's that simple
🤣😂…it’s called nepotism🤷🏾♂️. Keep in mind the NBA is not black owned.
I'm glad someone had the balls to make this video. This isn't Bronny's fault. Who could possibly blame him ? He's a good kid. But, Mac, at 6"2, has repeatedly been told he is too short to play in the NBA, despite winning a G-league championship, 2 NBA slam dunk championships, and working his buns off, to prove his doubters wrong. What would folks be saying about this, had this been say, Larry Bird's son, and he got picked in the draft, after scoring 4 pts per game, over an African American kid who scores around 20 ppg for 4 straight years in the G-league ? The league is filled with people who shout racism at the drop of a hat, but what would you call this situation ? The situation with drafting Bronny to the Lakers, is definitely nepotism, no matter what Stephen A. Smith and others, may say. The league has no problem employing white players, as long as they are European white players. But, American white players ? Very rare. And, yes, there are a few, like Austin Reaves, and the freshly drafted Dalton Kneckt, but they are a small minority. This is wrong, concerning Mac, and I'm talking before and after Bronny, who again, is just following his dream, as he should do. People love Mac, and want to see him play on the big stage. He's earned it. He deserves it. And, he would put butts in seats. PERIOD. If Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, at 5"3, could play 15 years, in an NBA that was FAR more physical than the run and gun, no touch game we see today, and Allen Iverson could be one of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen, at a claimed 6'0 ft, then there is NO EXCUSE for not signing Mac McClung to a one way contract on a real NBA team. Except for the color of his skin. Aren't we supposed to judge people by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin, or do we have a double standard ?
Maybe if y'all left your little bubble then you would know that's the way the world works 😂
This was stated in the video.
Because ppl allow it to happen and condone the bs instead of stopping it. The biggest cop out is the just how it works lol so ignorant it's how it works atm because that's what has been allowed to happen. Maybe people prefer that this is how the things should be but I certainly don't.
All I heard him say basically was bronny too small and needs a growth spurt to be any good in the league and another thing he was shooting 37/27/68 on 5 points with 20 minutes but ppl think he should instantly be better in the league when there is better and smarter defenders it’s gon be very hard for him.
Well, there's a bit more than that including the life lesson, but we're all entitled to take what we can from it.
If bronny gets drafted and his brother doesn't that'll say alot about Lebron's influence
It's not what you know it's who you know, overtime the table is turned, you cry. If Michael Jordan was born 30 years earlier, he would have been known that he would have been unknown today. Now you're experiencing what we go through every single day.
Bronny fanboys cannot argue that he's better Mac... Hell Mac is better than half of the leagues bench players
There have been a lot of times that professional organizations have drafted family members of key people in the organization. Years ago, there was a GM or high ranking member in MLB orgniztion that has his daughter drafted. According to Google, in the 1993 MLB draft, the Chicago White Sox drafted left handed pitcher Carey Schueler in the 43rd round. She was the first woman ever drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Ron Scueler was the member of the organization.
Good content. I approve this message but Matt went in and did something in the league that can't be ignored. Kudo's to him.
Thanks for watching. He certainly did it of his own accord.
