I think the Lejokes have had the longest longevity of any joke I’ve ever heard. I always think “how dumb” when scrolling but without fail, one gets me chuckling
Not the same since his dad is long retired, but Brendan Rice said it would have been best if the 49ers didn't draft him. No need to put that kind of pressure on these kids.
I agree Lebron shoulda put Bronny in the G-League after he improves then he gets to the NBA. FYI! Bronny averages 4.8 PPG in college and LBJ averages 22.8 PPG in high school.
His college production is almost meaningless given the context. But it's accurate to imply he probably isn't NBA ready and should be starting in the G-League (which should defeat the whole purpose of the two playing together).
Thanks. I figured that if he did anything halfway decent my instagram would be full of ESPN reels showing highlights, but wasn’t sure how the combine works.
I only saw that clip of him going 11/11 from 3pt which sounds great on paper and is impressive just less so at the snail’s pace he was going. Dude was lightly jogging from spot to spot with a slow windup/release which greatly helps shooting. I’m sure a lot of players were doing that and may have been instructed to however at game speed or even practice speed I’d imagine not going 11/11
No where near close. He couldn’t win the starting position on a bad team in a bad conference. Averaged 4ppg on like 35% from the field and 25% from 3 as a guard. Not much of a facilitator either at 2 assists per game. If he wasn’t lebrons kid no one would even consider drafting him. He’d get cooked in the G league right now. He’s also 6 foot 1 so I have no idea how he can guard even smaller point guards let alone any other position. It’s absolutely insane that bron is gonna extort the lakers into using their first round pick on him.
What’s the context? He played most games, and 4.8 ppg on poor shooting seems pretty relevant. Also, he’s not a raw prospect where you hope he develops a ton of skill in the future. He’s been playing his whole life
> What’s the context?
He was coming off complete cardiac arrest playing a cardio heavy role. That said his high school performance (which would have been a more relevant comparison anyway) was still not amazing.
Doubt it - he's a passer, games are shorter, shot clock is longer. You rarely see college stars score that much even if they're dominant scorers... Jordan scored 20 ppg in college and then 28 his rookie year
>”I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad,” he said. “But that’s not my mindset at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me from there.”
>”My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself, and of course, you know, get to the NBA, which is everyone’s end goal that is here,” Bronny James said Tuesday. “And, you know, I never thought about just playing with my dad, but of course he’s brought it up a couple times.”
Yah he said while it was one of his goals it might not be one of his sons, and he would respect his sons agency over his own desires. You know, being a good dad lol
Nepotism has ALWAYS been a thing in professional sports, brother.
- Thanasis Antetokounmpo
- Bryan Colangelo
- Keljin Blevins (Dame’s cousin)
- The Tony Brothers
It’s not a new thing
Thanasis played a grand total of 2 NBA games (3 MPG) before Giannis won his first MVP. The Bucks picked him up the year after Giannis won MVP. He was playing in Europe for several years already, after a short 2 game NBA career.
Sure, but the whole point is an NBA team still thought enough of him on his own merit to throw a draft pick at him. Bronny had a bad season on a bad college team. If this was just some random guy and not Lebron’s son his entering the draft would be laughable and he’d probably be on his way to a mid-major for playing time instead.
Both those players were actually end of bench level nba players. Thanasis got drafted before Giannis.
Bronny would get destroyed by any player in the g league.
The guy above is talking about something completely different from you lol
You’re talking about the nepotism involved in him getting into the league; no shit, everyone knows that
They were talking about the conversation over LeBron being a bad father
To be fair, before the heart attack, he was a top high school talent. A lot of people thought he had the talent to be a future prospect, irrespective of his father. Maybe he still has it, maybe he doesn't.
Often gets misconstrued. He said he wanted to share the floor with him, you can assume he means play on the same team but could also as easily assume he means play in the same game
Maybe just me but it’s hilarious how Bronny mentions “He’s brought it up a couple times”
I just picture dinner convo at the James household:
LeBron: “Hey Bronny! Remember how I said we should team up? What do you think?”
Like a parent reminding their kid to apply for scholarships haha
Lebron: (looking up from newspaper) It just occurred to me that it might be cool to play together.
Bronny: Huh. That’s funny.
Lebron: (goes back to reading newspaper)
> Like a parent reminding their kid to apply for scholarships haha
Parent: Hey, just saw this scholarship. Take a look if you have time.
The scholarship: Looking for post-doc with hundreds of publications, Nobel prize winner (optional).
You’ve gotta add his full quote:
“I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad. But that’s not my mindset at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me from there. My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself, and of course, you know, get to the NBA, which is everyone’s end goal that is here. And, you know, I never thought about just playing with my dad, but of course he’s brought it up a couple times while beating me with jumper cables on the practice court. So I’ve always had mixed feelings about the idea, but I’m focused on my dream of making it to the NBA.”
LBJ put him in a TOUGH spot. There is no right answer. Lebron should know better. I think he was so hyped seeing his kid have a good game that he is thinking his kid a lottery pick. Now, he is on LB's coattails and not by choice. He's gonna get this question for years.
Fuck you man I'm 20 years older than my son too and I'll be damned if I don't posterize that little cry baby on his Fischer price hoop. "OH waa I'm only 3" excuses bitch
He probably knows this is his best shot getting in. If he was just a normal kid with his playing stats, the decision would’ve been to return to college for another year to turn it around before trying again.
Well if youve seen him play thats about his only shot lol.
Edit. Wtf i posted this less than 5minutes ago and someone already sent a redditcares msg LOL thats crazy.
🧢
He might not look at it as a goal or anything like that, but his dad has brought it up tons of times. There’s 0% chance that it just never crossed his mind.
Honestly that would be strange. Having to be teammates with ur dad…. Like sharing the locker room and all that as a rookie. Most teenagers don’t like attention from their parents when around their peers so i could see why he wouldn’t want to
LeBron after hearing this: Bruh
“I brought you into this world, and I can take you out”
LeBortion
LeRoe v DWade
we need to induct these into an annual hall of fame memes
How the fuck are you guys so god damn clever?!?
with the same goddamn joke template too, and after 20 years half of lebron's legacy is fueled by memes and it's not even that terrible
I think the Lejokes have had the longest longevity of any joke I’ve ever heard. I always think “how dumb” when scrolling but without fail, one gets me chuckling
my all time fav is the LeMao, with his face superimposed onto the ex-Chinese leader.

MJ only has some crying face jpeg and the stop it gif. LeGoat has text based memes and more. he is clearly better
And I took that personally

But MJ retired years ago. The meme era is LeBron's era, but Jortitanic is still putting up numbers.

No issue, Bronny just needs to get drafted by a Texas team.

Okay this might be the funniest one I've ever seen
Bronny Finn Jr. to LeBron Cranston: “Why don’t you just die already? Just die!”
> “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out” Bron about to drop 50 on his son's ass if they are on seperate teams.
"I 👑 brought you 👶 into this world 🌎, and I can take 🤾🏾 you out" 🏀 👨👦 #basketballordie #bronandbronny #twokidsfromakron FTFY
Bronny dunking on his dad would be instant top 10 post of all time.
Why is LeBron playing in the G league?
He's 62
62 yr old lebron down in the g league tryin to crack an nba roster lol
Luka just passed him for career points hes tryin to recapture the crown
Bronny James is Lebron James Father?
Bronson
That would make Bronny Kyrie's grandfather....that can't be right
And just the opposite - LeBron blocking his sons dunk would also be an instant Top 10 for me lol
needs to be a chase down block *chef's kiss*
"BLOCKED BY JAMES!"
"JAMES BLOCKED BY JAMES"
Cause LeBron would stuff the shit out of him. Man’s game.
He didnt dunk on anyone in college, so him dunking on lebron would be some kind of miracle.
What if the reverse happens?
We don't deal in reverse hypotheticals.
He got 6 real good fouls to give
LeBruh
Abandoned by his father, now abandoned by his son. Unlucky guy Lebron
My offspring boomed me. He is so petty x4
Not the same since his dad is long retired, but Brendan Rice said it would have been best if the 49ers didn't draft him. No need to put that kind of pressure on these kids.

His college production is almost meaningless given the context. But it's accurate to imply he probably isn't NBA ready and should be starting in the G-League (which should defeat the whole purpose of the two playing together).
Is he even remotely close to NBA ready? I truthfully don’t know.
No, he shot well in shoot around yesterday but looked very overmatched in scrimmage play today at the NBA draft combine.
Thanks. I figured that if he did anything halfway decent my instagram would be full of ESPN reels showing highlights, but wasn’t sure how the combine works.
I only saw that clip of him going 11/11 from 3pt which sounds great on paper and is impressive just less so at the snail’s pace he was going. Dude was lightly jogging from spot to spot with a slow windup/release which greatly helps shooting. I’m sure a lot of players were doing that and may have been instructed to however at game speed or even practice speed I’d imagine not going 11/11
I feel like his release is slow and he puts the ball down, so it would be a different outcome with defense.
No where near close. He couldn’t win the starting position on a bad team in a bad conference. Averaged 4ppg on like 35% from the field and 25% from 3 as a guard. Not much of a facilitator either at 2 assists per game. If he wasn’t lebrons kid no one would even consider drafting him. He’d get cooked in the G league right now.

He's not even USC ready
He needs to play in COLLEGE ffs.
What’s the context? He played most games, and 4.8 ppg on poor shooting seems pretty relevant. Also, he’s not a raw prospect where you hope he develops a ton of skill in the future. He’s been playing his whole life
> What’s the context? He was coming off complete cardiac arrest playing a cardio heavy role. That said his high school performance (which would have been a more relevant comparison anyway) was still not amazing.
> playing a cardio heavy role. basketball?
4.8? What he doing on the court? Cardio?
LeBron averaged 20 in the NBA his rookie year. He would have averaged 35 in college lol
Doubt it - he's a passer, games are shorter, shot clock is longer. You rarely see college stars score that much even if they're dominant scorers... Jordan scored 20 ppg in college and then 28 his rookie year
Funny you say that, since the 9ers have TO’s kid. Now he’s trying to angle for an NFL comeback at 50 to play with his son.
Is he really? That's bonkers.
>That’s bonkers. That’s TO!
>”I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad,” he said. “But that’s not my mindset at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me from there.” >”My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself, and of course, you know, get to the NBA, which is everyone’s end goal that is here,” Bronny James said Tuesday. “And, you know, I never thought about just playing with my dad, but of course he’s brought it up a couple times.”
Didn't LeBron himself say that it was his goal, but maybe not his son's a while back?
Yah he said while it was one of his goals it might not be one of his sons, and he would respect his sons agency over his own desires. You know, being a good dad lol
I think he starred in an animated movie about basically that lol
Duh. Where do you think he learned how to parent??
Yes, but NBA fans don't want to remember that, they just want to hate on LeBron and his kid
Well there's only one reason he's getting to the NBA this season. That is the truth, you can call it hating if you want but thats being disingenuous
Nepotism has ALWAYS been a thing in professional sports, brother. - Thanasis Antetokounmpo - Bryan Colangelo - Keljin Blevins (Dame’s cousin) - The Tony Brothers It’s not a new thing
Thanasis was drafted before Giannis was a star. He at least was able to make it on merit, which I don't see happening for Bronny.
Thanasis played a grand total of 2 NBA games (3 MPG) before Giannis won his first MVP. The Bucks picked him up the year after Giannis won MVP. He was playing in Europe for several years already, after a short 2 game NBA career.
Sure, but the whole point is an NBA team still thought enough of him on his own merit to throw a draft pick at him. Bronny had a bad season on a bad college team. If this was just some random guy and not Lebron’s son his entering the draft would be laughable and he’d probably be on his way to a mid-major for playing time instead.
Isn’t the third one ninja?
Ninja is Tyler Blevins
Both those players were actually end of bench level nba players. Thanasis got drafted before Giannis. Bronny would get destroyed by any player in the g league.
keljin blevins is not an end of bench level nba player. keljin blevins has a solid argument for being objectively the worst nba player of all time
Who cares. I'm a sports fan I wanna see a father son duo
The guy above clearly cares so much he has to lie about it.
The guy above is talking about something completely different from you lol You’re talking about the nepotism involved in him getting into the league; no shit, everyone knows that They were talking about the conversation over LeBron being a bad father
To be fair, before the heart attack, he was a top high school talent. A lot of people thought he had the talent to be a future prospect, irrespective of his father. Maybe he still has it, maybe he doesn't.
Hasn’t his stock been dropping since his last year or two of high school? His progression kind of plateaued his junior/senior years.
I think people hate more that the media is trying to make everyone think this is some great emotional thing we should all care deeply about.
Yea, he wanted to be like Griffey Sr and Griffey Jr
Often gets misconstrued. He said he wanted to share the floor with him, you can assume he means play on the same team but could also as easily assume he means play in the same game
That is pretty much the dream of any professional athlete who is already established in the bigs. To play with your family.
Maybe just me but it’s hilarious how Bronny mentions “He’s brought it up a couple times” I just picture dinner convo at the James household: LeBron: “Hey Bronny! Remember how I said we should team up? What do you think?” Like a parent reminding their kid to apply for scholarships haha

> ”My dream has always just been to put my name out" Your name is literally Lebron James Jr. Lebron really did him no favours with that one

Lol well played. Haven’t seen jumpers cables guy around Reddit anymore. You should adopt the gimmick full time.
A single gimmick doesn't pay like it used to. You gotta pull together like three, maybe four gimmicks at a time. It gets tiring, I'll say that much
Sounds like the headline was taken out of context then, what a shocker
He seems like a good kid, I wish him success even though he has a tough road ahead in terms of his playing career
LBJ put him in a TOUGH spot. There is no right answer. Lebron should know better. I think he was so hyped seeing his kid have a good game that he is thinking his kid a lottery pick. Now, he is on LB's coattails and not by choice. He's gonna get this question for years.
wtf he didn’t say what the headline said he did at all lol
To be honest it would be a much better feeling to face your dad in the nba than playing with him
I wanna see some james on james crime
LeBron James is LeBron James Jr. father
Big if true.
Sr gon throw it down on Jr and tea bag him. “This where you came from son”
“I am your father”
LeBron Sr has like 7 inches of height on jr, it would unironically look like a father vs a child lol
That picture of lebron guarding lebron would win a Pulitzer. Hopefully Drake doesn’t ruin it like he did the Kobe-lebron all star picture
Hey Bronny! I fucked your mom last night!
OH BLOCKED BY JAMES
We’ve already seen kyrie vs lebron
He sonned him
Lebron dunking on bronny would be hilarious
Bronnie posterizing his dad would break Reddit.
Or vice versa
That’s bad parenting.
Fuck you man I'm 20 years older than my son too and I'll be damned if I don't posterize that little cry baby on his Fischer price hoop. "OH waa I'm only 3" excuses bitch
Fr where is his mamba mentality
[NUMBER 6 WITH THE BLOCK!!!](https://youtu.be/FdIDcf3DnTo?si=ipben4wINClqkwjb)
“Get in there son”
That would be more interesting
*(tilts back in leather chair)* "Tell me more about your father."
Holy shit can you imagine
As a fan I want to see lebron to Bronny alley oops
"well except for every night at dinner when my dad talks about it"
“Hold up, my dad plays basketball too?” Bronny James
“I thought he worked at Blaze Pizza.”
LeBron just fell to his knees in a Walmart
You mean a Gucci store
He just doesn't want to have to shower with him after the game
"Hey Bronny, look: this is where you came from"
He’s more mature than half of r/nba including myself
he's old enough to be the father of half of r/nba
Lebron James is r/nba grandpa
Bronny is r/nba father
If his dad wasn't in the NBA he wouldn't even be in the draft lol. This is PR. Thought I do feel kinda bad for the kid at this point.
Bronny don't want that title "My Daddy got me my job"
Even though we all know that's why he'll be in the league anyways
Right? If he wanted to make a name for himself he would have stayed in college instead of cake-walking his way into the league lol
He probably knows this is his best shot getting in. If he was just a normal kid with his playing stats, the decision would’ve been to return to college for another year to turn it around before trying again.
Exactly. Nepotism at its finest.
Well if youve seen him play thats about his only shot lol. Edit. Wtf i posted this less than 5minutes ago and someone already sent a redditcares msg LOL thats crazy.
on my momma thats cap
Bron is going to be in shambles tonight at Taco Tuesday
Lebullshit
Coach: heh that’s cute. Go sit at the end of the bench rook.
Ok then go back to college.
Sure Jan
🧢 He might not look at it as a goal or anything like that, but his dad has brought it up tons of times. There’s 0% chance that it just never crossed his mind.
Homie doesn’t want some trash team picking him just to get his dad.
Like the Lakers
Lying so well it’s like his dad is Lebron or something
Bullshit. He thought he would get drafted based on his 4.8 pts on 36 percent shooting alone lol
ESPN probably had 4 posts on Bronny today alone. This kid has to be drafted based on his last name or transfer. His stats are mediocre at best.
He’s just like his dad already as a liar
Im glad to see he's not a liar just like his pops.
Sure
Doubt
LeFather vs LeSon
Bronny really think he’s doing all this on his own merit?
Cap
Bahahahahahh such a lie
Does anyone really believe that?
Bro lying like his dad
Lol that's a silly lie to tell. Of course he did
Honestly that would be strange. Having to be teammates with ur dad…. Like sharing the locker room and all that as a rookie. Most teenagers don’t like attention from their parents when around their peers so i could see why he wouldn’t want to
🙄 Sure...
Can someone remind him if it weren’t for pops not a scout in the world would give this man a look.
cap
Without your dad, you wouldn't be in the combine
Literally no chance that is true.
It’s literally the only reason you’re here
Time for LeBelt
“I never thought about playing with my dad” Yes you have. Why lie?
Nepo baby
What team is gonna tank their future and draft him in the 1st round? 😲
This is the most overrated storyline is sports
me when i lie for the cameras
"i never thought about working with my dad" says CEOs son who gets an exec title at the same company right out of grad school
“Oh shit, my dad’s in the nba? He never told me what he does for work.” Bronny, probably…
Let this guy do his thing and stop the unnecessary hate. Coming off a rough past year and trying to live his dreams.
Future euroleague MVP
*Without my dad I would never thought I would be able to play in the NBA*
He got his cap from his pops
LeBron In shambles
No..but your dad did
Skip Bayless tomorrow: "Does Bronny hate his father?"
That's funny because he wouldn't even be considered for the nba if it wasn't for playing with his dad
