Pelinka definitely saw the comments about his haircut from the last interview lol
LMFAO i was just thinking that
What did it look like
My first thought lol
@@victorcruz9323A hair do from 2000.😂
Y'all are delusional thinking ppl like Rob pay attention to clowns and comments lol
Celtics had the quietest championship ever. Imagine winning it all just to be overshadowed by JJ Reddick and Bronny! 😭😭😭
They certainly prefer it that way.
Bruh a ring is a ring tf you talking about 😂
Nah man they're celebrating in Boston. It's just that we think that everything revolves around us here in LA so we don't see that.
All respect to Boston but it was a forgone conclusion that they'd win against the Mavs.
Redick and Bronny or do you mean Lebron’s son and puppet?
Mfs saying Nepotism, when Jeanie Buss is our owner. 😂😂😂
Facts lol
Right lol
The whole league is nepotism
That's not Nepotism. That's inheritance. Very different.
People don't watch the Lakers for Jeanie Buss, they watch it for the biggest star in the game LeBron James. If LeBron wants a roster spot for his son, then that is good enough for me, because you are getting two for one.
I hope Bronny can become a great role player and hope that the people who count him out eat their words.
He can be our back up point guard immediately he’s a great all handler and facilitator and would get better and better on defense it’ll be like lonzo ball if he was a second round pick
Rich Paul’s burner has entered the chat
If he listens to his father, he will have a long career. But the problem is that a lot of kids think that they are smarter than their parents and want to go their own direction. If Bronny decides that he doesn't want to take his father's advice, then he will be out of the league in a couple of years.
I think more ppl just think it’s not earned, not counting him out as much. But we have seen others that were not so good in college step up and be a good solid nba player
Hes not. Not even close to being ready to score more than 4 points and u think hes gonna be a good role player.
His career high being 15 points is not a good look lol
Lakers are crazy
No other team would have drafted him,
It’s about making history
@@kjthomas4553 it's about tix sales
@@kjthomas4553 it's about tixs sales
A championship ring would be a better history
This should absolutely be the final favor the Lakers do for LeBron.
His hair looks alot better now.
how so scrubbs?
@@sebaztionabsolution huh?
@@stephanadams6279 how does bob pelinka's hair look a lot better now idiot?
i thought it looked better the way it was in the JJ press conference
Why people worried bout how his hair looks lol who gives af
LeBrons wife will be GM next season.
I am sure she knows basketball.
It cant be all on lebron..coaching, gm-in, drafting, balling, beong a diva...its kinda hard i guess lol
LeBrons wife look so good smh
bro his daughter is the gm lol
Shes already Lakers sandwich Chef
What's next?! Savannah James as Assistant Coach!?
When you become a Lakers part owner you can fire all the James family. I am routing for you to stop drowning in Lebron's seminal fluid and make something of your life so you can make such decisions. Routing for you Mr. Esgue008!
He'll yeahshe should be.up there.witg the RAMBIS FAMILY...
Bronny kid playing with his grandad and pops ☠️
She would be good for the locker room….
U mad bruh big mad all poor whittle baby 🍼
IMO! Bronny should play on the G League team the South Bay Lakers so he could develop his skills!
I'd say make him travel with lebron and learn every little bit possible while he can. There will be a lot of garbage time to play.
@@johnle1535I like this take
thank you captain obvious… every 2nd round pick does
Bronny will be just fine. To be honest, he cannot do any worse than the garbage the Lakers had coming off the bench last year. Dinwiddie, Vincent and Hayes averaged 5 points combined in the playoffs....just saying!
@@johnle1535 assuming what? We blow out teams? Lol or we’re getting blown out?
Crazy how many dudes hating on Bronny, the kid literally went to the NBA combine, and was ranked 58th. He went 55th, just move on from your Lebron hate 😂
if a toddler was drafted by the Lakers people wouldn't be hating on the toddler, they would be hating on the father for forcing it to happen. If LeBron really wanted him to succeed he would kept out of it. This is about him playing with his son at all costs, nothing more.
You sound ridiculous. People having an opinion is not hate. The facts are this is an example of what's been wrong with LeBrons teams as of late. He has too much control. His kid who I hope be great isn't even a good player at any level. People commenting on that only. I have yet to read any comments hating on him as a person
How is he suppose to endure NBA caliber workouts and games if he has a heart disease?
@@POLOMRSUBURBSLebrons control is not what has been wrong with the lakers😂it’s disappointing teammates not stepping up in the playoffs
It's all Bron's fault for pressuring his kid like that.
Two things most ordinary people hate in life. 1. Working for a boss with no credentials who got the job because they’re ‘mates’ with someone. 2. A person with 0 talent who you have to work with because their parent got them the job.
The Lakers have both scenarios in the team at the same time. Watch them implode the next 12 months when the losses start to mount. You’ll then see the brutal reality of life and sports. Something Buss will never understand growing up in her ivory tower. Don’t be shocked if the Lakers own fans boo ‘Bronny’ wildly when the losses rack up…
Lakers just made history
Lakers aren't trying to win. They're trying to make money
Aint every team lol
Jenny buss let anyone run that team . That’s why magic left lol
Magic left because he couldn't run it.
Ppl have incredibly short memories. Magic left cause Pelinka snaked him out of that job. Magic has lierally done interviews on this. Do any of u goofs even watch the NBA or are u just getting info from Tik Tok or whatever?
Magic ruined it!! We could have draft Tatum. Just because he liked Lonzo’s passing.
Magic always leaves!!!
Who is Jenny Buss?
I truly hope the kid has the mental fortitude to handle all the hate and drama that'll come his way
He won't.
He was raised super rich, had everything given to him.
Just wait till opponents rip him to shreds
@@CinHalCedHerChance He will. Cope.
No one is hating it’s just people like you talking about it
I hope he can prove the haters wrong.
💯✔️💪
having a bad heart isnt hate.... its just a fact
Kid isnt healthy and its a joke.
@@thefourfourfour9512 never said there was hate. Go into any comment section and you'll find people legitimately hating on him cause of who is dad is.
Let me rephrase then, I hope he can prove the doubters wrong.
its not about hate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬 its simple fact the kid is not good did you watch his game at USC???? and To be honnest with you i think Bryce is better .
@@Angelabarbosadominguez-it4fh keep hating
Why is he being interviewed, he's not in charge of anything
He’s the GM of the lakers. Are you Cowboys fan?
he's not? who is?
No need to state the obvious, I know you know who runs the show. Quit pretending
He's the press secretary for Klutch Sports!
😂
Nepotism has been a part of human society for thousands of years. LOL.
But it’s not a part of sports that’s the problem people making excuses Michael Jordan never forced a team draft any of his sons 🤦♂️
@@purpleperc1012 It's not apart of sports because Jordan didn't do it? Jordan is a different human being bro. He straight up told everyone his sons buns... you make no sense.
@@purpleperc1012Yea cuz he was at the casino , get out the comments L take
at this point Lakers fan should do like Europe fans does. go in front of the staples center and ask for Rob Pelinka To step down. and ask for Lebron to leave the Team 😅
And clowning and shaming those who use it has been also.
If I wanted to see a father and son show I would go to the park.
What happened to putting winning real regular season NBA championships as the priority?
Rob Pelinka is very professional the way he answer the question.
Very humble men
It’s arguably the greatest player of all time. 10 years from now we will remember this moment of father and son playing together, we won’t remember the 55th pick we would have gotten that would have probably got cut. Don’t be a hater, be happy for folks.
Mannnnn well said!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
MJ is the GOAT. Stop it to most Laker fans. Bron isn't even better than Kobe.😂😂
Keep that bs
@@ZomegJ0 ball knowledge MJ i can see Kobe oh stop it
@elidanewwave5400 you stop it. Ask diehard Laker fans lol.
History is made by winning championships, not by drafting LeBron James's son
Father n son playing together in nba not a history? u really hate lebron dude
Finally some one using his mind. If I has Lebron fan I would be mad at this and call him out.
Pelinka was held captive by Bron in the draft room, they took his "Help" sign.😂
Rob Pelinka is putting a new spin on the name "The Lake Show" 😆 😂
What do you mean
@@carolcooper3138some people see the Lakers as a soap opera with all the drama and headlines instead of being a basketball club. (Not my thoughts I’m just giving a general consensus)
Nepotism at it's finest.
What about Giannis and his brothers? The Bucks knew they wouldn’t have him if they didn’t have his brothers on the team back in 2019-to this current season. I’m just saying you gotta have juice to pull it off
Maybe, this country was built on nepotism at its finest.
Too bad you remembered to come up with this only now. 😏🤣🤣🤣
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Didn’t your momma teach you anything bank nuts
So people don't get jobs just because they know someone? 🤔 Happens all the time where I'm at! Why y'all mad?
pelinka talking as if lebron is not going to re-sign....i know it's lawyer talk but come on bro we see right through it
he already resigned before the draft
You want your GM to be a true professional like that!
He’d be in massive trouble if he didn’t grant that public ambiguity to LeBron and came out and said it.
Gotta act like that so he doesn’t get into trouble with the commish
No he aint he talking like a guy that's not trying to get fined by the nba he choosing his words carefully plus lebron already posted a pic of him and bronny in a laker uniform so we know he coming back and he knows he just hasn't made it official until lebron is ready
Pelinka has the best job in the world. Get paid to do nothing!
Just talk
I hope he proves people wrong and develops In to a Great Role player 👏🏽
He'll be a high end role player. Think Avery Bradley, marcus smart,
@@ryu-ken LOLOL 4 ppg and he gonna be high end role player?
LOLOL what a joke.
at this point Lakers fan should do like Europe fans does. go in front of the staples center and ask for Rob Pelinka To step down. and ask for Lebron to leave the Team 😅
its nothing against Bronny been the son of Lebron....for me Bryce is better !!!!! simple as that
I hope he fails
What if Bron fleeced the Lakers and resigns with Cleveland 😂do anything for your child.
They could just drop him
They could waive him
Extremely excited and happy for Bronny. People need to lay off the negativity and embrace this special moment. I am optimistic that he will have the development and support to transform into a good 3 and D point guard. What a legacy defining moment!!
The nba is not about special moments it’s about winning championships
Spoken like a LeBron fan who is stuck in the past.
Rather make history than win games
that's what it seems like.
Would Bronny James have been drafted if he wasn't LeBron James' son? No! This is a joke, period. A straight up token draft.
Just like many others children with parents that can help them, like the Waltons.
Dude relax…it’s pick 55… there’s 58 total picks…he would be available after the draft if they didn’t take him at 55…it’s for lebron to be happy and resign and for bronnys own 19 year old ego and development..what’s wrong with that? Don’t be a hater use your brain dummy
You sound mad 😂 go touch some grass
Were there actual better picks at #55? I dont think it matters at that point
People don’t want to give Bronny credit and say he got this all because of his Dad but before Bronny’s cardiac arrest he was an incredible player who looked like an NBA prospect in high school. If that unfortunate event never happened (when he almost died) Bronny would probably be a valuable first-round pick and couldn’t be discredited. We should be celebrating him for coming back and recovering not tearing him down.
In a way though its a good thing it did happen. It allowed him to get the surgery he needed. Better than finding it out late and missing NBA development time...or worse.
@xb1206 Cool story bro....
Doesn't mean he was worthy of being drafted tonight!
What happens when the average collegate star prospect suffers bronnys cardiac arrest setback....
9/10 times their pro aspirations are OVER right then and there!
Well this is the world we live in ppl hate just for no apparent reason
14ppg in high school is an nba prospect???? Give me what your smoking goofy ahh jigga
He was a top 5 high schooler before his injury
this guy is so slimy
The exact guy I would want to hire as my gym…
This is the “we had to keep LeBron to maintain relevancy” press conference lol
God bless the Lakers as a whole
God hates LeBron, the devil worshipper
Whoever continues to say it's nepotism, you're right. Who cares. It runs rampant throughout the league. Get over it.
crime runs rampant throughout the US too, might as well turn a blind eye to that too. Get over it.
facts
It’s two different things when playing game to running it in front office … you dummy lol
2012 - Michael Jordan son Marcus Undrafted
2014 - John Stockton son David Undrafted
2016 - Gary Payton son GP2 Undrafted
2022- Scottie Pipen son Justin Undrafted
2022 - Shaquille Oneil son Shareef Undrafted
All of them with better college careers then Bronny James.
So basically 4 points a game is all is needed to get drafted by the lakers, sign me up. 🤣
A ha haa! 👍🏼
You not half the player of bronny he a 6’2-6’3 with shoes guard and he hella athletic he cooking you
@@jmaltomlinson9921 he is a bench warmer in china at his best....the nba is just fcked
I love seeing young lakers fans that don’t know the history thinking it’s ok to have lebron hold this team hostage with threats to leave if his demands aren’t met.
This is not the Laker team that we know they're not about winning championships they're about selling tickets to the clown show they should change the name to the Los Angeles LeBron's
A press conference for a 55th pick lakers are officially a joke 😂
Daddy hired Uncle JJ to give Bronny playing time.
So this is Win Now Huh? Drafting a project?
This is great for basketball.😇🧡🙌
Lebron told me to and that was it
LEGENDARY LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Thank you NBA, it is a pleasure to experience this history in my lifetime instead of reading it in a history book. The action in meaning is deeper than most ppl can understand right now. Aspiration and inspiration 👍👍👏🏽
I love the NBA smh ❤
It's actually a trash move.
If you didn’t experience this in your lifetime you certainly wouldn’t be reading it from a history book.. you’d be dead
Getting carried by your father as an adult is crazy work 😭😭 but being on the team becasue of your father is also crazy ..
Don't go around the bush. You picked him because he is LeBron's son.
He literally said part of the decision of drafting him was to help make history lol
I wish media could ask bron, bronny or pelika that but they can’t ask that direct question. They will probably lose their job
Didn't They Sign Giannis's Brothers For The Same Reason ?????
It’s “Don’t beat around the bush”… Rookie
Don’t go around the bush…😂 is there Bees???🐝
@@rubikino7569Well, at least Thanasis made the NBA by himself (drafted by Knicks). Unlike this kid who got in due to "Privileges" 😂😂😂
My question is if not Bronny who should the Lakers have selected at 55

Rob Pelinka Talks Drafting Bronny James 55th Pick of the 2024 NBA Draft
I would LOVE to be able to see the true thoughts of all the other Lakers teammates right now...
No one is mad. Everyone wants to see history be made and for what lebron has done for the league he deserves it.
LeBron destroyed the league!!!
@@JukkaRamo Lmao no.
We made history in Puerto Rico to with a similar nepotism case. We had to kick the governor out because how terrible and incompetent he was before his term was due.
Good job Rob for drafting Bronny. His my favorite player
There were probably 100 players available better than Bronny that's why this pisses ppl off. Lol
If im bronny im calling Jure holiday and working with him during off-season
I feel bad for Bronny..he bout to get embarrassed !
What's funny is that we actually drafted a top 10 player at #17 Dalton Knecht but folks complaining about who we picked at 55 😂😂😂 bunch of clowns claiming they laker fans
Whoever believes this guy talking, you must be on drugs. Lebron is the reason why he got drafted. No one else wanted him.
They actually did but Rich Paul was calling to let teams know that if they select him he’d rather go to Australia
@@sphinxowl Bronny wasn't even on the radar for ANY other team.
His *ONLY* chance at the NBA was the Lakers drafting him to keep Lebron happy and with the team, or LONG SHOT Cleveland drafting him to convince Lebron to move.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 he was invited to workout with 10 teams TEN! Let that sink in. The suns were interested, Toronto was interested, the Mavs were interested, THE CELTICS were interested. I understand you guys don’t like Bronny but they really were looking
If Thanasis gets to keep his spot, I don't see why Bronny couldn't
@@sphinxowl I'm amazed there were that many teams that showed ANY interest.
At best, given his college level VERY LOW performance, he'll be a bench-warmer and not a very good one.
Works hard. Good character. Not entitled. Sounds like thousands of college student athletes.
Good for Bronny, he went through a lot, and deserves his day!!! Congratulations little Bron
How Gay !!
We are heroes!
Congratulations to the James family you guys are well deserving of it and much more best wishes to the Lakers organization 👍
😂😂
🤡🤡🤡🤡.
NO NO NO
Bronny didn’t earn this, but it’s not his fault his dad is one of the greatest of all time
NO HE AINT
Bronny is what the lakers needed, crazy potential
Fr 💯👌🏼
What potential? He only got drafted to make lebron happy. He has a questionable heart, he wasn't good in college and now throw him into the nba on a nationally spotlight team. They destroyed this kid before he had any opportunity. He should've stayed in college and grew
🤡
HAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The 55th pick I’m not even tripping lol and Thanasis antetakumpo is in the league 😂😂😂
Bronny isn't NBA read. He's not even G League ready.
Thanasis is huh?
@@fatedestroyer He shouldn't in the nba either
@@fatedestroyerwe got ourselves lebronsexual here 🖕
He should’ve earn it like everyone but instead he needed “ daddy’s “ Help, everyone knows he’s there bc “daddy“ (lebron) wants him there
I’m a die hard Lakers fan I really hope they know wat they doing go Lakers 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
Ima die hard too n die hard ride or die with it!!!! Let’s fucken go lakers
I’m a die hard lakers fan but we gotta be realistic . What were you hoping to get out of a 55th pick if it wasn’t bronny at that pick we can’t expect much tbh
@@Crnx449 to be honest someone else but I really don’t want us to draft him I want us to rebuild and let lebron James walk to go another team
@@taronreed4809he’s already drafted bro! Deal with the reality! Die hard or die crying 😭
@@taronreed4809 doubt he’ll play for another team. Lakers might be his last for whatever remaining years he has . He’s made LA is home imo
Never clicked fast😂
Well, basically, LeBron said this is what I want, Rob, so it's getting done because I run the show. You're just my puppet.😂😂
like giannis? every star has that power.
I love this guy n Lakers franchise
Sad day for the Lakers.
This is a low risk, high reward pick on a basketball standpoint. Very seldom you get a quality pick that late in the draft. And due to his cardiac incident he didnt reach his college potential, but his work ethic & maturity can really be valuable. Marketing wise, the lakers can really milk this.
Business wise its such a smart move
Rob stressin hella rn😂 He even knows they made a controversial move by drafting bronny just to make his daddy happy and stay in LA with them.
Never clicked so fast
😂 me too
I can't wait for the new season of 2024 - 2025 lets go lakers nation 😊💜💛🏀
So what you want about Bronny, he’s still better than Thanasis
Not yet
Happy to be alive to see this day come true 👑🙏🏾
i’m also glad you are alive
Most second round picks are prospects. After the combine, he was ranked 58th why is this an issue? LEBRON JAMES. the hate is absurd.
The Lakers drafting Bronny James is a sad day for the Lakers franchise and the NBA. Nepotism has no place in the NBA. Other NBA greats like Shaq and Patrick Ewing would have loved for their sons to have played in the NBA, but they didn't push the NBA to draft their sons like Lebron James to make their wishes come true. Also, l think the collusion by Lebron James and Klutch Sports to get Bronny James drafted over far more talented NBA prospects should be investigated. The integrity of the NBA draft has been tarnished forever.
The NBA had integrity?
Not since Silver became commissioner.
🤣🤣🤣 Keep on hating and crying out. 🤣🤣🤣 "Far more talented prospects" must be the best part. I guess you thought they could draft a new Shaq with 55. 🤣🤣🤣
@@vesnam116 Have you bothered looking Bronny up on any of the "draft prospect" websites.
Some of them didn't even LIST him, he was so far out of the Top 100 - and I don't think ANYONE listed him as a Top 100 prospect.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Lies. 🥱🥱🥱 He was actually listed 54 at the end, he improved his standing a lot after the combine. 😏👋
Bronny is in the best place possible. Laker Nation will guide him big time.
he didn't even start for USC and they weren't even ranked. now he can play in nba all of sudden. the nba is joke controlled by lebron
The fact that he can make a giant comeback from a cardiac arrest and prove to teams your work ethic and to work for his goals is a giant achievement. LeBron is letting Bronny be himself and not be the shadow of his legacy. Yes there will never be haters but he truly is taking full advantage of the opportunities he is given. If he goes to g-league and gets called up after his skills develop like other stars have due to the potential he has confirms his love and passion for the game. He is a smart young guy. Let him be himself
Bronny is Rob’s new “Manna From Heaven.” 😅
Let’s go lakers let’s be supportive and that we will prosper from this and be POSSITIVE let’s goooo lakerssss
hair looks better rob lets round out this bench
So it’s not about championships anymore it’s about making history being the first father son duo ? This is a mess
Your a mess go root for your crao team you like
Lakers fan better to think thrice are you IN or OUT 🤣😂🤣😂
hahaha i dont care what anyone says. this was a LeBron wish that got granted. wasn't about talent.
Did you talk to all the GMs about the Lakers considering picking Bronny?🤔
True Laker fans support any Laker player no matter the criticism . He will get the chance to prove himself in the 🟣🌕.
Facts!💯👊🏾💥
I bet my balls that leflop will not opt out.
IM ORDERING MY JAMES JR. / JAMES SR. JERSEYS RN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How the mighty have fallen
Rob had no choice.. I won't blame him for this nonsense
Fact of the matter is because of his dad, he was put on the radar. So if any other team out there wanted him that’s great. But the fact that the Lakers are the ones that shows him is pure nepotism and sickening. Any other team if they chose him would have no other choice or basis to select him other than talent and what he brought to the floor. The Lakers did it to keep LeBron happy. Not because of what the kid actually brings to the table. It’s bullshit for the franchise, the fans and Bronny himself. Like if he was selected by Phoenix or Dallas, at least he would’ve been legitimately selected based on talents of some sort that they saw
Cry more, it’s good to know that yall think yall know better then Bronny pops Lebron what’s better for Bronny 🤦🏾♂️ 😂😂 they got this yall just sit back and watch
This would’ve been worthy to watch if it was Cleveland
Hey Rob. If Bronny wasn’t Lebron’s son, will he be drafted? Hell Naw!
Can't wait until the Lakers circus show next year too many distractions
he was solid the entire time im stoked to be a lakers FAN
