Shareef O'Neal went undrafted and Patrick Mutombo was the coach of the Raptors905.

Kobe Bryant and RJ Barrett surpassed their fathers who were professional basketball players in Europe. Kobe grew up a AC Milan supporter and ws still part of the ownership group when he passed away.

Those genes don't have him as a top 10 draft prospect for his draft class. I wonder if his father's fame and stardom can help him become a top 10 pick and skip over the more talented prospects.
I wouldn't be surprised if the teams drafting him will consider the talk that LeBron wants to play on the same team as his son, effectively drafting LBJ for a year.

I've seen lots of film on Bronny and was initially rather sceptical but he's clearly a 4 star recruit. Without dad's influence, I wouldn't put him as a lottery pick right now but based on ability alone, it's not out of the question.

Bullshit. The conspiracy theorists throw out so much utter bullshit that occasionally there is something that can be warped to fit reality but when it comes to covid, you guys are batting 0.000

Well before COVID was a thing, let alone a vaccine for it existing, it was known that athletes, even young ones, had relatively high rates of myocarditis and sudden cardiac death when compared to the general population. Turns out pushing your heart day after day after day is hard on it. People who suddenly noticed athletes dying from SCD only after COVID and have decided it's the vaccine are just experiencing confirmation bias.

Can't remember which youtube video it was but they showed that there is practically no all-star who had an all-star kid (unless you believe Jimmy Butler was really MJ's son) and most of the all-stars were sons of role players (Kobe, Curry come to mind).

I wish you could talk to a friend of mine who works at Toronto General and literally told me they're seeing people with more heart issues than before any of this started.

Hmm. Annecdotal numbers.

BTW, have you not looked at all the reports of the vascular impacts of the covid infection? They were among the earliest non-respiratory symptoms that were identified. Could that have an impact on your alleged friend's observations?

Yeah, the vaccine is horrible. I got the shot and then 20 years earlier my mother died of lung cancer. Fucking vaccine.

Most star athlete or celebrity kids don't amount to much. Gretzky kids are mostly sponges. Most make a living off their famous father somehow. Beckham kids etc. Anyone think the Kardashian kids will ever have an occupation? Jordans kid made a living off of him.

Bronny was already making 7 million per year in endorsements I believe before he even started college. He'll work in basketball somewhere high profile if his career is over.

I don’t think his career will be over.

Technically, they couldn't call it a "vaccine" so they had to invoke the Emergency Measures Act so they could administer it, or something along those lines.
I'll dig around later, it's Saturday, about to head out.
