The ultimate sports nepo baby

The facts are he's in the NBA. How he got there, that's always going to be a talking point. Bronny is just one of many examples of "He is there because of his daddy or because he is the brother of" --- see Austin Rivers. See any Antetokuompo who is not Giannis. See Damion Lee. We can talk until we are blue in the face about who doesn't belong. We can be haters about the nepotism and I can bring to light there are many players who sit on the bench and are the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th man and they log countless DNPs who are not offspring of a former players.

It was a cool historical moment and thats all it was. Bronny is likely headed to the G-League because hes not going to get any better sitting on the bench because he is not a rotational player. They got their cameo out of the way last night.

Scouting Report: St. Francis 2025 RB Kingston Keanaaina

Streak One
Kingston Keanaaina 6-foot-0, 205 pounds
Committed to BYU

Sr. Season (7 Games): 170 carries, 1,441 yards, 13 touchdowns
Jr. Season (11 Games): 225 carries, 1,530 yards, 19 touchdowns

Keanaaina has been a star for the Lancers this fall with big rushing games in league wins over Top 10 ranked Serra and St. Ignatius. He is a patient runner who reads his blocks well, but bursts through the hole when he sees a lane. He can run through arm tackles, bend around defenders and has enough speed to run away in the open field. BYU has been one of the surprises of the college football season and have one of the state's most productive backs in its 2025 class.

Why? Most Seniors are 18...your, logic is always like a freshman that is immature. Always negative, never actual information. Another Ankle Annoyance

no most seniors are not 18, until the turn of the calendar... that isnt logic.. .but ironically this said freshman is quite mature since he is 16. i am not negative, but i am also not rainbows and unicorns.. its the internet and it will be a tough world for you if you are offended

For me, this story is cool for a night and their interaction on the bench was fun. Going forward, it becomes a small footnote on the whole NBA season

What division are CN and Marin Catholic in NCS for the playoffs this season?

noknight said:
I initially thought one or both might get bumped up to Division 2 based on both making the D3 finals last year, but it sure looks like they're all the way back in Division 6 based on both Calpreps and the NCS site. Who thought this was a good idea?!?
Click to expand...
They will be moved up to D4 but good chance one or both play in NCS Open/D1 in which both will be done quickly

Alanna Smith brought her arms down at the end of the play. That's an automatic foul at every level. Note that when Bridget Carleton drew her two charges, her arms were completely vertical. If Smith keeps her arms vertical, it's a charge.

But I really hate the focus on the officiating. Kayla McBride took advantage of a Liberty defensive mistake to get a wideopen three -- and missed it. Cheryl Reeve put Natisha Heidemann in the game at a crucial moment and she promptly turned the ball over twice. The Libs' offense was aimless and stagnant. Stewart and Sabrina couldn't make a shot. Carleton fired blanks.

The game did not turn on that call. It was decided by the players and coaches.

Your son barely made the high school team. I think Pelinka knows a little bit about basketball talent. No need to feel sorry for the kid. He is a millionaire and on an nba roster. Next time you are at Jesuit ask the team would they rather need you or bronny. Report back big fella.

This is no different than the CEO's kid who gets the executive job but isn't remotely qualified. Is it right... No. But that is just life. If you think Bronny belongs in the league well then you aren't very smart. He would be a #9 player on Duke's current team. Maybe. Lakers wasted a pick to keep big king happy. Simple strategy. Yeah because the Lakers have been so successful under Pelinka. Since bubble **

Kinda feel sorry for the kid. Its pretty embarrassing and sad. Check the box King. 2 min 0-2. Totally lost on the court. No biz in the league. Move on. But AD looked good. Hopefully he can stay healthy.
