John Salley Tells Bronny James Haters To Pipe Down

00:00What do you think about Bronny being drafted to the Lakers?
00:04I love that Bronny got drafted to the Lakers.
00:08And everybody talking all that smack, hey listen, if my dad had the power, if my dad
00:15was a leading scorer, if my dad was able to take a pay cut so I can get a check, it's
00:22like no other business.
00:23So you don't think there's a wrong, what do you think all the haters should fight?
00:27Hey, they're just mad they didn't think of it or could do it.
00:30You can put your child in a great position where he already doesn't need money, LeBron
00:35gave him everything he possibly can, but to have his own.
00:39And even if he doesn't pan out, he would have had the experience of playing with his dad.
00:46So do you think that he's going to play a lot this season?
00:48That's been another conversation that he won't actually play.
00:51We don't know.
00:52It don't make a difference if he plays.
00:55He's on the team.
00:57He's one of the 12.
00:58I'm happy that he's, let me see, he's one in a million Americans.
01:03Do you think LeBron will play long enough to play with Bronny and another Seth Bryce
01:07too?
01:08Well if I was LeBron, listen to me Bron, don't ever quit bro.
