    "After Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James thanked coach JJ Redick and vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka for everything they have "given" to him after drafting him No. 55 last week, Redick corrected his young guard.

    "Rob and I did not give Bronny anything," he said during a news conference Tuesday to introduce James and No. 17 pick Dalton Knecht. "Bronny has earned this. ... Bronny has earned this through hard work."

    How exactly has he "earned" it? Nepotism...

    "Bronny James signed a four-year, $7.9 million contract with the Lakers on Wednesday, a league source told ESPN, reaching his rookie deal on the same day LeBron James agreed to an extension with the team and ensured the first father-son duo in NBA history will play for the purple and gold next season.
    Bronny James' contract begins at $1,157,143 in 2024-25 and progresses to $1,955,377 the following year, $2,296,271 in 2026-27 and $2,486,955 for a team option in 2027-28, sources told ESPN."

    "Bronny will wear No. 9, honoring the late rap artist Juice WRLD, who referenced the number in his music. Bronny also has "9 9 9" tattooed vertically behind his left ear.

    "Juice has just been a big part of me keeping calm in some situations that I've been through," Bronny said. "So just paying homage to him, especially because he passed, it's a really important thing for me."

    If you patterning anything in your life after a dead rapper then forward thinking and planning is not yet your strong suite.
    I wish the young man all the best.
    BTW, he is being held out of tonight's Summer League game because of knee swelling.
