impactful it could be cuz even your
teammates be like Dam damn they got
you and then made the free throw on top
of that though
look impressive next question here we go
second down questionable call of the
week let's see what we got Pig so we got
King James man um you know they recently
put out an article saying that Brony
wasn't a lottery pick but uh you know
LeBron started off with a lot of uh
praise to his to his son which as a
father you would right but it really put
a Target on his back um and before this
season at USC you know he said you know
he could play for us right now us
meaning the Lakers right easy easy and
then he went on to Twitter or X um now
and it says man Brony definitely better
than some of these cats I've been
watching on League past today [ย __ย ]
lightweight hilarious now this is before
the season really developed yeah as the
season developed uh what happened this
past week you know LeBron had had a
little change of heart um and he tweeted
uh and it was removed but he he uh ESPN
draft stock a 2024 mock draft but uh he
wasn't pretty much happy with what was
said you know with him not being a
lottery pick he's like man can y'all
please let the kids be a kid let the kid
be a kid and enjoy college basketball
the work and results will ultimately do
the talking no matter what he decides to
do if y'all don't know he doesn't care
what a mock draft says he just works
earned not given and what's your
thoughts on that bro think about this
pig look at it through this perspective
this is a downtime in sports like when
when you think about Peak seasons of
when people are actually watching sports
obviously football reign supreme correct
right so when you think about Fox when
you think about ESPN when you think
about these many different platforms
that cover Sports they have to find ways
to keep entertaining content engaging to
Their audience that's why mock drafts
exist yeah it's fake new this is fake
news fake news you see what I'm saying
yeah this is fake news this is just
something to get people riled up about
the upcoming season just upcoming season
upcoming 10 pole event of the draft or
anything else like that right yeah the
truth of the matter is this is it is it
something that affects anything no is
this just something that affects ratings
yes but do you think King James put this
on his son cuz Stephen A Smith had to
say this really quick um Stephen A said
uh Lebron shouldn't blame the media for
um any analysis of his son's M Prospect
you're going to Tweet about folks
needing to leave your son alone you did
that LeBron is entirely and completely
coupable for any kind of critique coming
in brony's Direction at this juncture do
you feel like LeBron James is
responsible for all the backlash
son no now are you biased because you
are in a position like no I'm biased
because I'm a father I'm biased because
I I don't see LeBron James tweeting
about another player who so happens to
be his son I'm I'm seeing this as a
father happy of his son's production no
different than James LeBron no different
than John do no different than uh Smith
stepen you see what I'm saying now if
Stephen A Smith had a son yeah he'll be
the same way we we we we're not used to
seeing LeBron as we don't we don't know
him as a father or we're not used to
seeing him as a father you see what I'm
saying like you have happy moments like
there's a there are these are proud
father moments when your son has a great
game when your son has a bad game those
are great teacher moments but the truth
of the matter is it's like yeah it's
easy for somebody to say well braon you
kind of brought it up on him yeah he is
the most polarizing athlete in today's
Sports World LeBron James LeBron James
yes but the truth of matter is this he
still is a father yeah and we cannot
discredit that now does that does that
caution people to take that into
consideration all the time no but damn
bro like what you not expecting him to
to mention or hint towards his son no
that's almost like Dion like people give
Dion Sanders a lot of flag but that's
still his son yeah and he's still a
human and is is extremely proud of what
his son is doing so whether you want to
commend it or try to dim
it they still human and they not doing
anything different than any other father
or parent would and should do okay like
even from your kids do you find yourself
even at the Little League games man my
son should be starting my son no that's
not me okay that's not me I don't even
try to coach my kids yeah my dad didn't
