George Karl seems to have no problem with the Los Angeles Lakers drafting Bronny James so he can play alongside his father, LeBron
Last week he went after the Lakers on a few occasions for hiring J.J. Redick as coach. The Lakers are involved in yet another controversy but this time it appears Karl is on their side. On Thursday, they drafted Bronny James with the No. 55 pick.
It will give him the possibility of playing alongside his father, LeBron, at some point this season. While some fans are in an uproar of the Lakers using a pick on someone who wasn't considered a top prospect in college, Karl seems to have no problem with it. Here's what he posted on X, formerly Twitter, "Show me a father who wouldn’t have immense pride to work or play with their son on a big stage #children of the game."June 28, 2024
Karl's son, Coby, played three seasons in the NBA from 2007-09, including one with the Lakers. So it's obvious why he is excited for LeBron to get the opportunity to spend time with his son as co-workers. The criticism comes because Bronny James doesn't have the credentials as some of the other prospects fighting for spots in the league. The Lakers also could have just signed him as an undrafted free agent, which would have prevented the firestorm.Shandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
