It's bleeding over to people that are mediocre at best in their everyday lives.

I digress...

Bronny James plans to sign a multiyear guaranteed rookie contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft starts his NBA career on the Lakers roster.

Lakers and LeBron James reportedly agree to new 2-year $104 maximum deal, includes no trade clause. Crazy!

Not a good look.

Guy is 39 and forces a max. contract on them and for his son too?

But I guess we shouldn't have expected anything else from him.

It's clear he would not have gotten drafted if he wasn't LeBron's kid, but I don't see the big deal. The Bucks employ Giannis's brother to keep him happy, and he's not in the GOAT discussion. The Lakers got their championship out of LeBron already and are only concerned about money, which a father-son duo like this will bring in.

I don't really see the big deal either. The Mariners signed Ken Griffey Sr. after he was released by the Reds so he could play 51 games with the biggest prospect on earth at the time. Nobody really had any strong opinions about it.

The Orioles traded for Tim Raines Sr. so he could play 4 games with his son in 2001 too. Again, I don't remember any strong feelings about it.

A lot of players drafted in the second round never make a team either. I don't see the wasted draft pick angle considering he was picked almost last.

Apparently he signed for 2 years and $101.35 million so a little below the max deal he could have received. Apparently this somehow helps the Lakers avoid a luxury tax threshold. I don't understand enough about the NBA salary cap and all the ways around it to really know how much it helps.
