The Lakers drafted LeBron James' son, Bronny James. Nepotism, favoritism, power, dilution ... all are on display. This event is a lens as to why faith in 'our institutions' is imploding at an alarming rate.
A father helping out his son is normal. Nepotism is not only common, but ignored in many such cases. However, because this affects not only someone possibly more deserving a spot on the LA Lakers roster, but also the competition on the court, it comes across poorly.
I found the opinions of Kwame Brown, Rob Parker, and Chris Broussard noteworthy, and I have referenced them here in this video.
