The former Trojan was selected with the No. 55 pick by his dad's Los Angeles Lakers.
Former 10-year NBA journeyman center Steven Hunter took to Instagram to relay his thoughts about what he sees as the undue influence 20-time All-NBA Los Angeles Lakers combo forward LeBron James had on L.A. team president Rob Pelinka when it came to inspiring the team to select former one-and-done USC Trojans combo guard Bronny James, LeBron's eldest son, with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
"Not taking anything away from Bronny nor am I upset at Bronny... Just know that this is a manipulation of our league and the integrity of what it truly takes to get there," Hunter concluded. The 7-foot Hunter played in the league from 2001-10, splitting his time between the Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies, before wrapping up his career with Italian pro club Dinamo Sassari in 2011.
