Mad Dog works for ESPN currently. He has to be careful with the Bronny criticism. His bosses won't be happy with him taking shots at Lebron's kid. They're the Lebron network.

I was ready to get ticked at the UConn reference but he meant a UConn Bronny couldn't even start. I like it and he's right not even this year as we reload and yet have a stacked roster.

Mad Dog- "No team after the 80's is better than any team before the 80's".

Dan has an amazing voice

Hype is all over after 1 season

Jeanie Buss is an incompetent owner as they come, trying to satisfy an old Lebron James. Hiring J.J Reddick as their head coach and considering they would waste a draft pick on Bronny James who only averaged 4 points a games, should tell you how horrible a job she is doing.

If anything I would like to see Bronny get picked up by Spurs or Golden St or Miami teams with real coaching and development. It's hard for me to believe the Lakers are serious about winning championships.

As a Celtics fan (since 1981), I approve the Lakers keeping Lebron James and drafting Bronny. That would make me nearly as happy as winning the title this year.

There is only one team better than the 1996 Chicago Bulls and that is the 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team, nicknamed the "Dream Team".

Thank you Mad dog!!

It would've been ideal if Bronny went to the Cavs. Team already in the playoff mix and his public perception would be favorable. Going to the Lakers is going to be a nightmare. Now that LeBron has his bff JJ it's clear he runs that organization

Bronny can’t play at UConn but he’s better then players in the fakers squad 😂

He wouldn’t even play for UConn, those words couldn’t be more true

Merit should always come first and LeBron son in no way merits a first round pick. Also JJ after his clap back about race with Perk.. I dunno. It will be interesting with some of his temper outbursts on First Take how he will fair with a locker room of today's NBA players.

I AGREE

Why does the media think teams are still interested in having LeBron on their team to the point they would draft his kid to get the package?

Mad dog Russo makes Steven A. Smith & JJ Redick , sweat , when it comes to history of the NBA 😅😅😅😅 It makes those two , scratch their heads , having them do their homework & research the history of the NBA , so they both can become More knowledgeable about the sport completely.

Steven smith didn’t realize how good westbgoodrich were becaue of one reasosn😮…just guess

If the gm of the man’s really cared about bron y, he would have stayed in college.

Mad Dogg forgot that these Celtics would not beat the early 2000's Lakers Shaq-Kobe teams and the mid 2000's Spurs teams lead by Duncan, Giniboli, and Parker. Those Lakers and Spurs teams would be these Celtics in 4-1 in best of seven.

It killed any chances the Lakers had of building a competitive team by Kobe having that huge contract.

That's not surprising; he barely played at UCS, one of the worst teams in the PAC12. Wasting breath on Bronny getting drafted is a total waste of time. If his dad was a "regular dude", the Sports World would not be talking about him at all. This is the ultimate case of nepotism!

Wouldnt agree with Russo stating the JJ Reddick is going to be a good coach, Lakers need far more than just a good coach. Lakers have been in the Play in tourney since its existence or not made the playoffs. LeBrons nba career has been a subpar since joining the Lakers. Reddick will be fired before his 3rd year begins.

He wouldn’t get 1 minute at Kentucky either

Bronny will shock everyone in the league. He needs to be more aggressive. Anyways Russo your wrong! This is great business move for the Lakers. This will get more views and more butts in the seats.

Will he have a better career tgen the current two time college player of the year? I gotta say the odds are in his favor

Just stop with the hate. Bronny would get run at UConn. He excels at the things Hurley values. Castle played lockdown D and shot sub 30% on threes, and he'll be a top 10 pick. If Bronny went to UConn the conversation about him might be different.

How so many people with speech impediments end up being talkers for a living?
