Dwyane Wade On Los Angeles Lakers: “We Want To See Bronny. This Is Not A Championship Team.”

Dwyane Wade applauds LeBron and Davis but doubts the Lakers’ title chances, focusing on the potential LeBron-Bronny duo.

Dwyane Wade, former NBA star and close friend of LeBron James, offered a candid take on the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers during an episode of his podcast. Wade expressed that while fans enjoy seeing the individual brilliance of players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the team’s championship aspirations are, in his view, far from realistic this season.

“When I look at the Lakers, I want Anthony Davis to have MVP type year, as a fan I would love to see LeBron continue to play at the level he want to play at and I actually want to see him and Bronny do their thing.” 

“Honestly bring Bronny up like we want to see that. I think Paul Pierce said recently like I want to see Bron and Bronny like a lob. I tune in to the Lakers to see that this season.”

“As a fan of the game, I’m not looking at the Lakers saying they’re going to win a championship.”

“The habits that are being built, to build the culture of what JJ is setting forward in that coaching style but like we want to see Bronny like this is not a championship team, it’s not a championship roster as this point.”

“Now the Lakers are always in the place to be able to make a move because it’s the Lakers. It’s certain teams always saying that maybe they can. The Lakers can make a move we’ve seen it before but right now um it’s not a championship roster overall.”

Despite his admiration for the stars, Wade quickly pivoted to what many fans are anticipating this season: the regular featuring of LeBron’s son, Bronny James, on the Lakers roster. Wade emphasized that, from a fan’s perspective, the idea of LeBron and Bronny playing together is a major draw. However, he was equally clear in stating that he does not view the Lakers as legitimate championship contenders in their current state.

The Lakers, currently seventh in the Western Conference with a 15-12 record, have had a season characterized by inconsistency. While LeBron James continues to defy Father Time with stellar performances and Anthony Davis has shown flashes of dominance, the supporting cast has been inconsistent. Role players such as D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, and Austin Reaves have not consistently delivered the kind of performances needed to elevate the team to championship contention.

The Lakers have long been a team capable of making big moves, and Wade acknowledged that this reputation could lead to a mid-season trade to bolster the roster. However, as things stand, Wade sees the Lakers as more of a spectacle for fans to enjoy individual performances and the potential father-son duo rather than a true championship contender.

Ultimately, Wade’s comments reflect a broader sentiment among fans: the Lakers remain a work in progress, and while they may have the star power to keep fans entertained, their current roster is not built for a deep playoff run.

Tiger Woods and Rory’s big gamble: Will TGL attract the next generation of golf fans?

Tiger Woods and Rory’s big gamble: Will TGL attract the next generation of golf fans? The Golf League (TGL) is a project that has been attracting attention for two years, since the moment when probably the two biggest stars of the golf scene at the moment, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, announced the big project. The pressure from LIV Golf, their financial power, and innovations on the golf scene motivated the leaders of the PGA Tour, but primarily these two golfers, to decide on a big step. The tendency of losing golf fans from year to year influenced two golf stars to start such a project. This tournament will start at the beginning of January next year, and part of this tournament will be 24 PGA Tour stars, who will perform at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Injuries spoiled Tiger Woods’ plans this year, but he hopes that next year could be more successful. Fans are divided about Woods and his return. While some expect that Tiger can return in full glory, others are skeptical. What do you think about this? Can Tiger achieve success despite the fact that he is 48 years old and is often injured? It is difficult to give an answer. Wyndham Clark, a well-known name in the golf scene, feels that the mere presence of Woods at tournaments like TGL is a big deal, whether he plays or not. The American golfer is proud of the fact that he will play next to Tiger in a tournament like TGL. “It’s massive. Regardless of how good Tiger is playing, just having Tiger involved in golf and playing is massive. And obviously, with his complications with his body and health, it’s hard for him to play four rounds in a row, multiple weeks in a row. And in this, though, it takes away a lot of the physical challenges that he’s struggling with. And now he can just hit the shots. And so that’s amazing for the game of golf. It’s amazing for TGL. And selfishly, it’s awesome for me that I get to play alongside Tiger and compete with him. I’ve never really had that opportunity as kind of a younger, up-and-coming player.” – Clark said, as quoted by Express. TGL leaders have thought of everything, including broadcasting. Namely, weekly matches will take place on Monday nights, filling the gap after the NFL regular season ends. Clark is delighted with the ideas from McIlroy and Woods. He stresses that Tiger and Rory have created a great plan, aware that golf fans can sometimes be demanding. “Oh, it’s amazing,” he said. “I’m hoping it’s the start of a lot of primetime stuff for golf. I think TGL has been very smart and strategic to plan it right after the NFL season’s over. People want to watch sports still and taking over that Monday night slot is massive.” Tiger Woods on TGL Tiger Woods revealed before the start of the PNC Championship that the goal of the project is to attract the younger generation to follow golf. It is known that golf is mostly followed by older fans of this sport, but the 48-year-old wants to change such statistics. Do you think that TGL can really attract the attention of the younger population? In any case, this project has characteristics that could arouse the interest of younger people. “Yeah, it’s going to be great,” Woods said. “This is what we’ve been shooting for. We’re trying to bring a new demographic to this game of golf, and it’s going to be exciting. I was blown away at the amount of moving parts there is to this. There’s a lot of moving parts, but as a showcase, it’s going to be unbelievable on TV. I hope that we can invigorate the game because it definitely needs it right now.” Rory McIlroy is sure that TGL can rival LIV Golf. The Saudi-backed Tour wants to achieve supremacy on the golf scene by introducing innovations, but what they did not expect was that the PGA Tour would follow their steps, not wanting to lose their power. Although the Northern Irishman strives for innovation in the world of golf, he admits that he is someone who is quite traditional. However, he is aware that such projects are needed today, especially because the younger population is running away from sports. Can TGL really spoil LIV’s plans and attract a younger population? “Yeah, absolutely,” McIlroy said. “You go back to the Ryder Cup. Team golf has been around since 1927 in the professional game. I’m still a traditionalist in a lot of ways,” McIlroy said. “There’s no replicating championship golf. I think that’s always going to be around. It always will be around. But I think there are certain things that we can do to innovate and try to maybe try to appeal to a different and younger demographic, especially trying to condense it into a time frame that is a little bit more digestible and putting it on at a time where we’re maybe going to get a few more eyeballs as well.
