BRONNY JAMES. SHEDUR SANDERS: THE 'POWER ECONOMICS" EXPERIMENT.
Now that Bronny James was drafted 55th overall by the Lakers, and Shedeur Sanders went in the 5th round to the Browns, something deeper is being revealed.
This isn’t just sports. This is a test of Black influence—and how the system reacts when that influence is inherited, independent, and unapologetic.
Let’s be clear:
Bronny is more than a “late second-round pick.”
Shedeur is more than a “developmental QB.”
Both are cultural forces with multi-million-dollar followings. They’re the sons of icons—and they arrive with legacy, platforms, and power. And yet, both were strategically undervalued.
Why?
Because this is about control.
When Black athletes don’t need institutional approval to be stars, the system recalibrates. It doesn’t bar entry—it lowers the value to reassert dominance.
This is a tactic:
> Devalue the product before acquisition.
Make power look “not ready.”
Keep the hierarchy in place.
What Bronny and Shedeur represent is scary for the old guard: Black influence that doesn’t ask for permission. Legacy that isn’t built to assimilate, but to disrupt.
And make no mistake—this is not failure.
It’s proof that the game is changing.
They are not just athletes.
They are avatars of a future where Black power is generational, strategic, and self-defined.
Watch closely. The system is being tested—by the very players it thought it could manage.
