NBA (DR) / Bleacher Report (DR)

Since his draft was made official by the Lakers on June 27, Bronny James has been the subject of much debate regarding his legitimacy within the franchise.

A league legend recently weighed in on this issue with a very strong opinion.

While waiting for the start of training camp, scheduled for October 1st, each member of the Lakers’ squad is spending their summer as they see fit.

As for Bronny and LeBron James , their schedules have logically displayed some similarities.

Both made a stopover in Paris a few days ago, while the King represented the United States at the Olympic Games in front of his eldest son:

Udonis Haslem Unfiltered on Bronny Scandal at Lakers

While waiting to team up in the coming months under the Purple & Gold colors, LeBron and Bronny had a good time in France.

At the same time, some NBA observers continued to cry scandal about their reunion on the same team, which they said was the result of nepotism.

Udonis Haslem, however, did not hold it against LBJ in the Pat Bev Podcast :

Udonis Haslem: I don’t blame LeBron because as a black man, I’ve seen a lot of people of other nationalities and white coaches do this forever.

They give their best friend’s nephew a damn job when he doesn’t meet the criteria to do it at all.

So I have no problem with Bron allowing Bronny to get to this point. Now it’s Bronny’s job to do it.

For Haslem, nepotism would therefore not be new within the league, but until now has rarely proven to be beneficial to the black community.

The former Heat center is therefore pleased to see his former teammate having used his influence to bring Bronny to his side at the Lakers, if this is indeed the case.

However, according to him, the Angelenos leaders would not have drafted the young guard simply out of courtesy towards their star:

Udonis Haslem: If I can say one thing about them, it’s that they’re not the type to take random bets. They’re damn smart, they calculate everything and they’re great businessmen. So they definitely have a plan.

Bron, however, can congratulate himself on having achieved one of his main pre-retirement goals, namely teaming up with his son.

Udonis Haslem is not going to throw stones at LeBron James despite the accusations of nepotism surrounding him with regard to Bronny. The Heat legend, on the contrary, relishes the fact that a black man was able to “push” a close friend in this way.
