Savannah James Explains Why She's Overprotective of Bronny

In the media's ever-indulgent pursuit of keyword supremacy, Bronny James's name has become synonymous with money. You can find articles about every aspect of his life, from what shoes he wore to practice to what car he drives. Does any of it matter? Not really, but a journalist needs to eat. 

In fact, you could argue that the whole Bronny hype machine is a bit of a farce. Let's be honest, splitting time in the G league, Bronny is unlikely to have any real impact on the Lakers organization this season one way or the other. 

In the ceaseless hunt for the next Bronny story, pundits and journalists alike are willing to denounce or praise Bronny based on what gets the most clicks that day—and all the faux influencers of the blue-check Twitter mob are gluttons for those likes. 

Understanding what's real and what's fabricated about the young guard is like trying to read a novel in the dark. In truth, his story is to be expected, and his stat line doesn't really teach us anything about his long-term potential. The only thing we can say for certain is that he's young and obviously needs more experience if he's going to succeed in the NBA. Well, that statement could be made for 99% of pro basketball players. The only difference is that his dad's famous. 

If we stop and think about it for a second, isn't it a little weird to have such high expectations (or unfiltered hatred) for a 20-year old kid who's not even old enough to drink? Well, Savannah James agrees with that sentiment.
