Bronny James could be one day away from his NBA dream coming true, as the former USC Trojan is expected to be a second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft which will be held tomorrow. Ahead of Draft Day, Bronny featured in the 300th episode of Complex’s ‘Sneaker Shopping’ series, where Bronny spent over $10,000 ($10,127.55 exactly) on three beanies and 10 shoes.
Here’s a full list of Bronny’s purchases and the price he paid for them.
Murakami X Swarovski X Complexcon 2019 Beanie – $95
Supreme X New Era Beanie – $120
Supreme X New Era Beanie – $125
Nike LeBron 11 “Christmas” – $400
CPFM X Nike Air Force 1 Low “White” – $400
CPFM X Nike Air Force 1 Low “Moss” – $450
G-Dragon X Nike Air Force 1 ’07 “Para-Noise 2.0” – $550
Off-White X Nike Air Rubber Dunk “Unc” – $750
Nike Kobe & “Christmas” 2013 – $1000
CPFM X Nike Air Force 1 Low “Fuschia” – $1000
CLOT X Nike Air Force 1 Low – $11000
Off-White X Nike Air Presto 2018 – $1300
Nike Kobe 8 “Prelude” – $2000
Subtotal: $9,290.00
Total: $10,127.55
The final total after-tax came up to $10,172.55, showing Bronny doesn’t mind spending major cash to feel like his style is immaculate. He doesn’t need to sweat $10,000, as he is the son of a billionaire who has established his own income streams through his media profile. He hopes to sign an NBA contract soon, which guarantees his livelihood beyond what LeBron has given him.
The video is a fantastic look into Bronny as a person, who seems extremely laid-back and nice throughout this video. He’s respectful to the host of the show while showing his genuine love for fashion, which comes through with the shoes he ended up purchasing.
I wouldn’t bet on Bronny wearing any of these shoes to the NBA Draft, where he would be selected on 26 June if he can outperform his projections and be drafted in the first round. If not, the second-round draft will be on 27 June, with most of the world likely tuning in to see what happens with Bronny.
Bronny James’ Draft Stock Is Hard To Predict
Bronny James is one of the most confusing prospects in the 2024 NBA Draft. Based on his physical profile and lackluster season at USC, it doesn’t seem like Bronny has the statistics to back up wanting to be drafted into the NBA. He averaged 4.8, points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on 36.6% from the field as a freshman with the Trojans before declaring for the Draft, a decision which was criticized by many.
Bronny has worked out for only two teams in the Draft process, attending workouts with the Lakers and Suns. The Lakers are not surprising given his father is on the franchise still and has publicly said he wants to team up with his son in the past. The Suns have a limited roster and are limited in how they can add new talent, which is why the 2024 Draft will be important for them.
Both the Lakers and Suns have first-round picks, but it doesn’t look like Bronny can justify being a first-round pick. Despite Bill Simmons hearing that the Suns are thinking of taking Bronny in the first round, it’ll be bold of the franchise to use their one draft pick at No. 22 to acquire Bronny.
The Lakers will pick at No. 55, giving opposing teams a lot of power over what they might want to do. The franchise could be forced to move up and land Bronny if he isn’t falling to them, but any team that selects Bronny will charge a premium to facilitate a trade to the Lakers.
His draft number is immaterial as long as he makes it into the NBA. He might not get playing time early in his career, but if he can share the court with his father once before LeBron James retires, it’ll be a moment in NBA history that has never happened before and will be impossible to replicate.
