After much speculation, Bronny was finally chosen by the Lakers as the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. This decision drew increased attention from NBA analysts and fans, with some praising and others criticizing the choice. During a recent episode of ESPN Draft Order, Adrian Wojnarowski voiced his support for Bronny, expressing his opposition to NBA fans, who referred to his selection by the Lakers as ‘nepotism.’ Despite this, some fans labeled Bronny as a result of nepotism, claiming he was only chosen by the Lakers because of his father, King James.
