With over 500,000 jerseys sold at roughly $100 a pop, Bronny has helped generate more than $50 million in revenue for the Lakers - setting an NBA record by surpassing even his father's rookie jersey sales. Not bad for a player who's barely made an impact in actual games.

I'm pretty sure that Wright is off on the "$50 million in revenue for the Lakers part"; they certainly don't recoup 100% of every jersey sold.  But still, that's a staggering amount for a guy who can't play.  I can't believe there are 500k fans who want to be seen repping that nepo baby.
After Bronny flames out, his rookie jersey will become a valuable collector?s item.

Plenty of hoopsters will be rocking Bronny jerseys at Lollapalooza next summer.

Norman Powell says no one has an ego on this year?s Clippers team

?I think this year we have guys who are really team-oriented and team-focused on both sides of the ball who are willing to learn, grow, and have the mentality of doing whatever it takes to win. Everybody?s coachable and focused on the task at hand. There are no egos. I think the atmosphere has been a lot of fun. We?re playing pure basketball.?

Norm Powell taking a shot at PG13 & Kawhi.

This guy is such a clown. Yeah... the jerseys are selling because IT'S LEBRON'S KID. And also, once Lebron officially laces them up, Bronny won't last much longer in the NBA either.

Nick Wright might as well ask to be a part of Lebron's family  ::)

Embiid showed up at shootaround today... and didn't do anything. Likely gonna miss his 7th straight game, and he's only played a total of four this season.

So either this guy is actually dealing with a very serious injury that we don't know about, or he's basically pulling a Ben Simmons and hoping to get traded in-season

And when I say serious I mean actually something that's broken or torn that may require surgery or some real treatment. If it's just this "lingering knee" then I mean... that's gonna remain forever. He can tough it out in that case but probably chooses not to.

Washington are now 2 wins 18 losses.

They are on track for an 8 win season. A candidate for one of the worst teams of All Time.

I don't believe he can be traded this season.  He could push for it in the offseason.

Oh I didn't know, TP. But then yeah, he's probably just gonna milk this season and then demand out in the offseason. He already has his big contract

Drummond has great hands. He has 3 steals already early in Q2. He has always been sneaky good at picking up steals. Quicker hands than folks expect.

The steals have been out on the perimeter too.

Sixers 3-1 in their last 4, and technically just 2 games back of play-in seeding

I think his knees are just toast at this point. Keep swelling up on him. Has had 3 meniscus tears.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He used up the meniscus ,  no more to cut away , no miracles are available?yet

What the heck are 76 ers gonna do with that awful contract ??sell it off to a tanker team ?like years ago when we took on Wallace for 3 years and ttillion dollars . 

Embiid is going to tank that team with that contract I guess

Checking the game on my phone and I thought the Lakers had the win.  What a pleasant surprise.
