Checked on this. She's 26 and he's 20. So not that terrible. Not exactly the Bill Belichick cringe level.

She's not bad to look at. Seems well educated, works with Cochlear Implants.
Doesn't seem like a good situation for Kyle...

Just the other day Rich Paul was on Gilbert Arenas pod taking digs at Calipari for Chris Livingston nearly going undrafted, now another client does go undrafted. I don't get declaring for the draft with this much uncertainty in this era of CBB with NIL.

Their Frenchman first round pick Dadiet might turn out better down the road than the Frenchman who went #1 overall.
Got the 7 foot German too, the last pick of the draft.

Not a Knicks fan but it's wild to see they now have a competent front office after a decade + of being inept
Their draft history is hilarious and really painful as a Knicks fan. David Lee and Porzingis are their only good draft picks since Ewing...

ESPN “I can’t overstate how monumental it is for Lebron to have a chance to play with his son”.
I disagree, that is all they have talked about for the last month.

I view it as nepo-draft. Lebron is still a great player. LA needed to do it to keep dad, but Bronny is not a top 60 player this year.

I hope he stays healthy and improves. I’m glad all our guys got drafted. And glad Danny is back and doesn’t have to deal with that drama there.
A lot of times the top 60 guys aren’t drafted. Bronny was drafted 55th, not like he was a first rounder. He was drafted 3 picks before a guy named Ariel Hukporti, who im sure none of us had heard of.

He was drafted because of nepotism. It is what it is, Lebron gets what he wants.

Who cares lol. Fun to see you all get shook up about it.
I couldn't care less but you responded to someone who said it was nepotism by talking about a foreign player Bronny was picked three spots ahead of.

Yeah, saying that the top 60 rarely get drafted.

It was a good two days for the program. All four guys got drafted and a lot of media for the lottery guys.

Hope they all can stick around the NBA for a while.

It's been a while since UConn had several guys in the league.

Thianas Antentekpoumpo is still on an NBA roster and has been for years. The Lakers will be alright.
It’s really not that uncommon for a sibling or relative to be in an organization together. Jr Smiths brother Chris was signed by the Knicks, Tim Raines son was in the Orioles minor league system he got called up in September to play a game with his dad. Andy Pettittes son was drafted by the Yankees in his last season.

It’ll get highlighted because it’s Lebron, but it’s so common like you said.

And if anyone deserves that treatment it’s the guy who’s been the face of the league for 20 years.
