"Holla at your father" - Chico Bean backs LeBron James using 'nepotism' to secure Bronny James a pot on Lakers

Comedian Chico Bean wants the Bronny James hate to stop as he backs LeBron James amid criticism. People have criticized James after the LA Lakers drafted Bronny in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. The fans have not held back in accusing the Lakers legend of using nepotism to get the younger James to the NBA.

The criticism doubled as Bronny struggles in the Summer League. Offensively, the former USC point guard has not shot well and fans have nitpicked his performances. In his four games this summer, he has not made a single three-pointer.

The comedian is asking people to stop hating the young star. On July 16, Bean appeared as a guest on "The OGs," a podcast hosted by James' former Miami Heat teammates, Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller.

"You people are haters," Chico said. "Cause it makes no sense that you're mad that nepotism isn't played for us. LeBron James has been the s**t since he was in third grade, and he has made it to where he is able to -- even if it was straight nepotism. So what? That's what you do it for.

It's so many n****s that didn't have they daddy and they hatin. It's like, 'Bruh, holla at your father.' Don't be mad because you didn't get the benefit of nepotism."

Bean started talking about Bronny at the 58:51 mark.

The only way for Bronny to silence the haters is if he proves them wrong by putting on decent performances. His struggles this summer have not helped his case.
