<\/div>\nBronny James finds support in agent Rich Paul<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Bronny James<\/strong>\u00a0has super agent\u00a0Rich Paul<\/strong>\u00a0to thank for the role he played in guiding him toward an NBA career. Despite the weight of expectations surrounding his last name, Paul believes Bronny is well-equipped to handle it.<\/p>\n Rich Paul\u00a0expressed this confidence when he\u00a0spoke to ESPN\u2019s\u00a0Baxter Holmes<\/strong>\u00a0on Bronny\u2019s decision to jump straight from a turbulent college career into the NBA. He asserted that with\u00a0Bronny James\u00a0there\u2019re no regrets whatsoever about bypassing the additional time in college.<\/p>\n Nobody pressured Bronny to go pro\u2013Bronny had a choice to stay at USC. He had a choice to transfer somewhere else or he had a choice to go pro\u2026 Bronny is serious. This isn\u2019t a f***ing game for him. He wants to play in the NBA, and he wants to play well within his role.\u201d<\/p>\n Rich Paul said<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n Rich Paul on Bronny going to the NBA:<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no downsides to Bronny\u2019s decision to go the NBA\u2026 only pros. He\u2019s the first player to have only pros.\u201d<\/p>\n (via\u00a0@Baxter<\/a>)\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/i4fb4kMIjg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops)\u00a0October 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The NBA preseason saw father and son recently\u00a0share an emotional moment when they played their first preseason game together. Although Bronny\u2019s development is still unfolding, the Lakers are eager to get him on the court with his father early on.<\/p>\n Further thanks to Rich Paul, Bronny was rewarded with a four-year rookie deal in hand. And with that, he is focused on maximizing his potential, with the support of his family and the Lakers organization.<\/p>\n Not everyone has faith in Bronny James as Rich Paul and as the new season approaches there are lots of questions about whether he can find success in the NBA. Recent reports suggest that some league executives and scouts have expressed doubts about whether he may be on a path toward success.<\/p>\n The expectations for Bronny by the fan base and by LeBron and Rich Paul are not commensurate with the reality of his game. If they had any real idea of how far away Bronny is, they just would not have done this.<\/p>\n An unnamed Eastern Conference executive said as per\u00a0ESPN<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n The pressure is due to the fact that his legendary father LeBron James is a once-in-a-generation talent, who made a seamless transition to the NBA straight out of high school. Not an easy feat, and sadly his performance thus far hasn\u2019t matched that of a top-tier NBA prospect.<\/p>\n You\u2019re set up for failure. It\u2019s like, what\u2019s the expectation here?<\/p>\n An unnamed scout added<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n An Eastern Conference executive and an Eastern Conference scout say Bronny James has been set up for failure<\/p>\n Exec: “If they had any real idea of how far away Bronny is, they just would not have done this.”<\/p>\n Scout: \u201cYou’re set up for failure.
