Bronny James not so welcome in the NBA: He is accused of turning the Lakers into a ‘joke’

LeBron‘s son continues to draw sharp criticism from around the NBA

The Los Angeles Lakers, renowned for their legacy of acquiring star talent and competing for championships, find themselves at the center of an ongoing debate about their prospects of contending for an NBA title in the near future.

Despite being 17-time NBA champions, the Lakers have clinched the championship only once since 2010, which occurred during the shortened, COVID-affected 2019-2020 season. Concerns particularly focus on rookie head coach J.J. Redick’s capabilities to lead a championship team and on the other hand LeBron’s son, Bronny James, who has become a focal point of these discussions following his Summer League performance last month.

The team has gone so far from repeating the 2000s dynasty

Count comedian and Lakers fan Aries Spears among the skeptics of LA’s current direction. In a candid interview with VladTV, Spears criticized the Lakers’ strategy, particularly their decision to draft Bronny James with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and subsequently offer the 19-year-old a four-year contract worth nearly $8 million.

We went from legends like Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaq, Kareem, Kobe, Worthy, to now Bronny James, to the nepotism,” Spears remarked. “Come on, man. THE LAKERS ARE A JOKE.”


While coach Redick and general manager Rob Pelinka have emphasized Bronny’s defensive potential, fans and analysts across the league view Bronny’s arrival in LA as a move primarily designed to appease LeBron James.

Aries Spears specifically criticized the Lakers for signing aging stars like Carmelo AnthonyDwight Howard, and Russell Westbrook — all future Hall of Famers, but well past their primes by the time they donned the iconic purple and gold.

“It just feels like during the LeBron era, so many bad decisions have been made,” Spears commented.
