Omaha Biliew is a McDonald's All-American

[gocy444]

Not sure why some think Bronny is ranked because of his dad. Michael Jordan’s sons were both good players and they didn’t rank them. If anything Bronny is proving he belongs on the court with these guys. Also, I hate Labron. Can’t stand him. However, Bronny is competing at a high level. He’s not close to his dad but still a good player

He also by all accounts hasn’t seemed like a pompous little **** like a lot of celeb kids do.

we aren't ready for how good we're going to be

Next year we bring in Milan and Omaha, who are game changers, and Hamilton and Fish who are program builders (like Lipsey and Watson this year are)

Hamilton Fish was a good dude.

Maybe I’m misremembering but it feels like UK has a ton of Final Fours and a bunch of titles?

Sure, but in the last two years they have two elite 8 appearances and nothing beyond that. For the amount of talent they bring in that's massively underwhelming.

The quote you’re responding to was UK and they haven’t made it to the elite 8 the last two years. Did you mean the last 20 years?

Question - did the 23 other players show up for the game? Have only heard about Bronny...

He is the son of the GOAT.

He is the son of the GOAT.

Then someone might want to tell LeBron that his wife hit it with MJ.

 

[WastedTalent]

Well dammit... now I want Bronny to come to Iowa St just to see all the triggered LeBron haters.

 

[Statefan10]

Something I’m really looking forward to with Omaha will be his ability to get down hill as well as finishing in the open floor.

You’re either going to have to foul him or let him dunk it.

I like how they used him last night. On offense, he was always up top or on the perimeter setting screens, which gives him the opportunities at pick and roll, pick and pop, perimeter shooting, or to take his man off the dribble. On defense, he was coming up with whatever big they had, and guarding the pick and roll, and didn't have a problem keeping the guard in front of him.

FTs are always the hardest for the team you watch the most.

I guess there were a lot of people watching the Clones last year. Last in conference in free throw %.

For sure. LeBron is not the player Michael was and whether Bronny is a P6 player is irrelevant to me. I don’t want the circus in Ames. That’s not who we are.

 

[CychiatricWard]

There is a such a weird amount of people who hate Lebron, and therefore hate on his son, for no apparent reason. It’s an extremely odd thing. The kid is good, and if he wanted to come here (I know he won’t) then we would take him in a heartbeat.

His NIL value is like $7M... we can't afford him.

 

[Halincandenza]

Omaha played hard and hitting the three was nice. Really though kind of underwhelmed by the talent in this year's game. I didn't see anyone that really jumped of the screen that you could see being an NBA star. I will also add that I don't think it is a given Omaha is a one and done.

 

[Halincandenza]

Tough night for the Bronny James haters.

His outside shot has improved a ton.

It was encouraging to see him his a 3 but I was most impressed with his defense on smaller players away from the basket. He really has quick feet and with his length, he is going to be a big asset in ISU's defense.

I mean we wouldn't be paying the $7 mill. Thats for his current deals with Nike, Beats by Dre, some underware company..
