Last night was a historic one with Lebron James taking the court with his son Bonny...

in the Lakers' victory against the Timberwolves...with Ken Griffey and Jr. Griffey, MLB's father/son duo who played togehter, in attendance.

The Griffey duo produced in baseball, but let's face it, Bronny James is not going to be a sucess in the NBA. He finished 0-2 in shots and gathered one rebound.

It's nice sentiment and a historic event but the kid is not good enough yet, and he may never be. He didn't light it up in college either. He had the heart failure incident that scares me worrying about a recurrence.

He's not good enough. So what are the Lakers going to do when they know they have to sent the kid to the developmental league? I feel sorry for the new coach and the GM who have to go to Lebron and break the news.

And I feel bad for Lebron too because it's coming.

Doesn't do much for me either. It is historic though as it hasn't happened before... brush Oct 26 #2

Yeah, it's a first, but not sure it's "historic".
It was harder to do in the past when nobody left college until after 3 years. It may be harder now, where everyone has to spend at least one more year after HS that James did.
And, Bronny is going to be splitting time between the Lakers & the G League, with more time in the latter.
So, they made "history" by having a guy on the team who isn't really good enough for the NBA.
Nice, but doesn't do much for me.

probably won't again. Lebron is in his 22nd year in the league and has played long enough for his son to be born, grow up, play high school and college ball, not that well, and the Lakers have done this favor to Lebron now.

It will end soon as the kid is not that good.
