ESPN analyst Ryan Clark recently shared his thoughts about the confrontation of LeBron James with Stephen A. Smith. The issue started when LeBron, Bonny James, defended Smith’s criticism.
Ryan Clark says that Bonny James has received more love, money and opportunities because of LeBron James
Lebron publicly confronted Smith on the basketball court last week. Clark, a father himself, spoke about the protective instincts of LeBron, and he noted that Bronny will eventually have to learn to deal with control as a professional athlete.
Clark posted this message on X:
‘I am not a LeBron, but I am a father; & I am willing to die for mine. I approach Sas as a father, but he was not ‘alone’ protecting his seed. He spoke on behalf of another professional athlete that is paid for SAS to analyze. Admittedly, Bonny is criticized more than any other 55th choice of the design, but he also gets more love, money and opportunities thanks to the greatness of his father. Even Pops on Friday said: “Let him be a man,” when Craig fought Debo.
“That is what Source has to do. Could you imagine the indignation if Lavar Ball ran on the biggest voice in the sport? I just don’t think it’s the story that Bonny is only there because he lebron James Jr. Is, and what now? It can’t be spoken about it? Until now, Source was the perfect example to ignore the outdoor noise. No all time great had been fire, among other things. Believe me, I come up with just as much as everyone else, & hell you sometimes have to do what you have to do. Yet I wonder if source Bonny told him he would do this, he would have said, “Pops, I have this!” “
LeBron’s speech with Stephen A. Smith did nothing to change the story
Although LeBron’s actions can be seen as an act of love and protection, critics claim that it could strengthen the perception that the success of Bronny has been linked to the influence of his father as an NBA super star.
Ryan Clark also argued at the Monday edition of ESPNs Take first That Bronny has received more praise and criticism than any other late second round pick. The former NFL safety believes that LeBron will only draw more accusations of nepotism by publicly defending his son against sports analysts.
“How does LeBron help on Stephen A. help the story? It doesn’t, “Clark said, through a terrible announcement. “Because the story was, he is there because of you. He was set up in the place where he should not be by you. Now, suddenly, can’t we talk about him either? “
Bonny has made some progress as a vegetable at NBA level, but he is still not nearly as good as what some personalities would believe that the basketball community would believe. The excessive media attention is part of the problem.
In 18 games of the bank this season with the Lakers, he has an average of 1.4 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 4.2 minutes per match while shooting 25.8%, 20% of deep and 66.7% on the error line.
