Story we are following from the New York Post:

Long before this week’s draft began, there had been mounting buzz around the possibility of Bronny, 19, landing with the Lakers and playing alongside his dad — the NBA’s all-time scoring leader — as the first father-son pairing in NBA history.

Prior to the Lakers submitting their second-round pick Thursday, ESPN’s Bob Myers reported that Rich Paul, the agent for LeBron and Bronny, warned teams to back off from drafting the teen.

“Rich Paul is calling teams [and saying], ‘Don’t take Bronny James,’” Myers said during the network’s draft programming. “He’s telling them, ‘Do not take him. If you take him, he’s going to Australia.’ So, he has a plan and he has a place.”

During his lone season with the Trojans, Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists and 25 appearances.

He made his debut for USC in December following a harrowing cardiac arrest incident last summer.

Bronny, a 6-foot-2 guard, had an impressive showing at the NBA Draft Combine this spring, placing second among the participants in the 3-point star shooting drill.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski issued a message about the nepotism buzz swirling around Bronny James.

“I just want to … have people know my name is Bronny James and not be identified as just LeBron James’ son,” Bronny said at the combine. “I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad. But that’s not my mindset at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me.”

Story we are following from NBC Sports:

Days after qualifying for his first USGA championship, Charlie Woods finds himself in a notable grouping at the one of the longest-running junior tournaments in the country.

Woods, 15, who qualified last week for the U.S. Junior Amateur next month at Oakland Hills, will play in the Press Thornton Junior Masters, which begins Thursday at Dothan Country Club in Dothan, Alabama. The event, now in its 75th year, has seen the likes of Shaun Micheel, Stewart Cink, Hudson Swafford,Blayne Barber, Ollie Schniederjans and Robby Shelton win titles in the 15-18 age division.

Woods will be grouped with Jacob Immelman, a Clemson signee and son of Masters champ Trevor Immelman; Liam Curtis, son of Open champ Ben Curtis; and Henry Kuehne, son of Hank Kuehne, a former U.S. Amateur champ who won twice on the Canadian Tour.

Woods and Immelman played together earlier this year at the AJGA’s UNIQLO/Adam Scott Junior Championship, where Woods tied for 27th and Immelman came in T-32.

The field for the Future Masters, which isn’t near the strength of an AJGA invitational or open, is highlighted by a couple of notable 2025 recruits – Notre Dame commit Pavel Tsar (135 in AJGA rankings) and Mississippi State commit Jackson Skinner (183).

if you want to do a Sports Talk Show you know what you do you just you just go and you find the headlines and you talk about whatever Ione else to talk about on the internet so we’ll pass on the presidential debate because I’m not going down that path today but I’ll say if I watched the president debate last night the one thing that it did do was it instilled confidence in me it should instill confidence in you because it was the first time in my life I actually thought maybe I can be the president of the United States that’s the first time I I’ve ever thought about but having said that the other thing that I seen last night all over the internet was nepotism nepotism nepotism Brony James yes was he drafted because of nepotism yes he was but I would also say there’s nepotism throughout the entire world it takes a lot of intellect it takes a lot of emotional maturity to actually have this discussion if you want to have it the reality is NEP nepotism exists everywhere and the way that it starts is because one person one person usually works their entire life to get to a certain point to where they have the privilege and they have the ability to make a nepotism decision so do you do you blame somebody that’s worked their entire life to possibly lean on something or do something for themselves that makes them feel good if you’ve worked your entire life to get to the top of General Motors per se you’ve dedicated 50 years of your life you really missed a lot you missed out on quite honestly a lot of your family time a lot of your time to basically do a lot of things that you personally enjoy when you were young enough to be able to enjoy them but no you were probably too busy crunching over emails spreadsheets and working your tail off just to be able to get to the spot that allows you to make a nepotism decision LeBron James has done that hasn’t he he’s played in the NBA longer than a lot of people basically have been watching the NBA or care to admit and he got to the top and what did he do he made a decision that was in his best interest and that’s what exists throughout the entire world so if we want to start talking about nepotism as an issue that’s fine but it’s a pretty much a global issue and one would ask is it morally right or wrong that’s a hard answer it’s a very difficult answer it’s one in which you’d have to ask yourself I do hope though if there is one thing here as I wrap up this first segment and I’ll send it to the guys after this one thing I do hope is if we can put aside all of the things that we bring into nepotistic things like race like gender like all the other excuses people want to make the the truth is about nepotism is it’s a comfortable decision for people that have worked hard more than likely or someone in their family before them has worked hard that’s allowing them to make that decision again to be clear maybe it was four generations ago that the Brown family I’m sure Mike Brown’s great great great granddaughter might have nepotism but I would tell you that at some point someone within that family had to make a tough decision and they made a right decision that allowed them to get to the point where they can make a nepotism decision so is is it deserved or not that’s a tough answer to have and if the answer is no it’s still not deserved well you’re going to have a long long long list to go down to try to get mad about over who’s doing what from a nepotism standpoint because you know who else is coming down the pike as well his name is Charlie Woods in your damn right he deserves every opportunity that he gets you know why cuz his dad paved the way his dad busted his tail his entire life to break down molds and borders and every other thing that you could possibly think of you know why because if there was anyone in the world anyone in the world that was not supposed to be able to walk into any country club that they want to walk into right now today and get a tea time is Tiger Woods when he was about 10 years old if someone would have pointed to you and said that kid right there is going to be one of the most successful xyz’s and you know what when he gets to the very top he could walk into any place where nepotism is probably at an all-time high if you want to see nepotism you walk into a country club and I can promise you you’ll be able to find it but you know what Tiger Woods could walk into you name the country club and they could be playing their member member today and you know what if Tiger Woods walked in there and he said I want a tea time at 1:00 you know who’s getting a tea time at 1:00 Tiger Woods is so NE ISM isn’t about what you want to make it about it’s about the fact of the matter is is that you work really hard in your life you get to the very very top and sometimes you know what you’ve earned the right to make a decision or two based off what you want now if you don’t like that so be it but that’s the truth
