00:00Matt Letovsky joins us.

00:05Matt, I think if I'm looking at this from a historical perspective, this is going to

00:10go down as one of the big moments all time in the history of sports.

00:13I don't think there's any question about that.

00:15And that's why we're talking about it so much.

00:17I guess the thing that I find fascinating is once that happens, and that moment happens,

00:22and it'll be a big one.

00:23I mean, it's right there with Griffey and Griffey Jr.

00:25Like, I mean, trust me, I'm not diminishing this at all.

00:28I think it's incredible.

00:29But I guess the question is once that happens, that moment happens, where do we go from there?

00:34You know, like he's kind of has to be a decent player, I think.

00:37Or else there's going to be so much anti-discussion about this.

00:40So the build up to the moment is going to be awesome.

00:43The moment is going to be incredible.

00:46But I think that that's going to be fleeting unless this kid can play.

00:49Well, yeah.

00:51And I think that there's, you're already hearing the detractors, obviously, as many people

00:56have been excited about this.

00:58There's been just as many people who haven't.

01:01And you're right.

01:02It's going to be a really cool moment when it happens.

01:04Good for them, of course.

01:06But you know, I would say most number 55 overall picks play in the G League.

01:12And that's the question.

01:13Are they going to send him down?

01:14Is he going to play in the G League?

01:16Is he going to be on a two-way?

01:17Or does he just get to hang out with the T-ball gear?

01:20Is that weird for other people on the team?

01:23You know, I would imagine if it happens, it's going to be garbage time.

01:27In which case, why would LeBron be in in garbage time?

01:29Well, it's just to make this moment happen.

01:32And that'll be cool.

01:34So I don't see them playing together a lot.

01:37That's for sure.

01:38And I would imagine if Bronny gets in most of the time, it's either going to be because

01:41the Lakers are up by 20 or down by 20.

01:44And it's just going to be sort of is what it is at that point.

01:47So yeah, it's going to be interesting.

01:51You wonder how the teammates are going to react.

01:54And I'm sure when he gets in, there's going to be players on the other team that want

01:59to take him to the hole and maybe dunk on him if they can.

02:02So it's a fascinating turn of events as if the Lakers needed another soap opera to make

02:09their franchise more interesting.
