Draymond Green Supports Colin Cowherd’s ‘Connections’ Rant Defending Bronny and LeBron James
The announcement by Bronny James to enter the 2024 NBA draft has received immense scrutiny from fans. Since the declaration, several have indicated how the ‘connections’ of his father, LeBron James, could benefit the teenager. Amidst the speculations, Colin Cowherd recently ranted to defend the Los Angeles Lakers star and his son publicly. His statements later received backing from Draymond Green, justifying the stance further.
Cowherd addressed the importance of connections in the newest episode of ‘The Herd’. “They always have.” The 60-year-old went on to explain how the basketball world proceeded to capitalize on the situation. He established his point of view by citing the presence of Dan Hurley’s son, Andrew, on the UConn bench and Thanasis Antetokounmpo’s deal with the Milwaukee Bucks as examples of Gianni’s impact.
As a result, Cowherd openly criticized the speculators, noting, “The same folks angered by connections are the ones who continuously strive to advance their children through connections. An internship here, admission to a college for which they do not quite qualify. Yes, this is how the world works.”
The inflammatory comment drew the attention of the audience before Green poured gasoline into the flames. The Golden State Warriors forward shared the clip from his Instagram story, writing, “Say it louder for the people in the back, Colin!” “And he works hard!”
These initiatives have contributed significantly to Bronny’s development as a young person. However, his freshman year averages of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, according to ESPN, continue to cause alarm for the James family. According to Sporting News, the 19-year-old might be a second-round choice in the 2017 draft.
As a result, they feel Bronny should continue his collegiate basketball career for another year. After all, he has kept the option open at the moment, with Duke and Oregon both expressing interest in his services. As a result, the following weeks will be a watershed moment in his path as the burden on his shoulders grows.
