and we'll see you in a minute.
00:04
Yesterday, a big day for the
00:07
Lakers organization as well. It
00:10
was announced that Ronnie James
00:12
has signed a multi-year
00:14
guaranteed contract with the LA
00:17
Lakers. So, he's not going to
00:18
start in the G League as we
00:20
anticipated. He will be a
00:21
member of the LA Lakers roster
00:24
from day number one. His
00:25
introductory press conference
00:27
yesterday, a couple of the best
00:29
in Los Angeles. LeBron's
00:31
former podcast co-host.
00:33
Bronny has earned this through
00:35
hard work. There's a lot to like
00:37
about his game. Okay, that's
00:39
fine, JJ. I actually do believe
00:41
in that. Bronny, quote, I never
00:43
really had a thought about me
00:45
going to play with my dad, end
00:47
quote. I'm sure you've seen the
00:49
memes on social media of a young
00:51
LeBron James. It's the lying
00:53
face meme where he just says
00:56
outlandish things that could
00:58
never have been true. Apparently
01:00
it runs in the family. Exactly.
01:03
And you can just tell by the
01:04
press conference that the things
01:06
that the coaches are saying, JJ
01:08
Redick, and also the players
01:09
themselves, Bronny James, they
01:11
don't believe anything of what
01:12
they're trying to tell you.
01:13
Because the fact that they have
01:14
to lead a press conference by
01:15
saying, let me get this straight
01:17
essentially, Bronny deserves
01:18
this, that means you don't
01:20
actually think he deserved it.
01:21
We all know what the picture is.
01:22
Now, granted, he's a great
01:23
basketball player. Very few
01:24
people can be McDonald's All
01:26
Americans, even though his
01:27
father did place him on the
01:28
McDonald's All American team.
01:29
Very few people go to USC, which
01:31
his dad made him go there to
01:32
stay close to home. Very few
01:33
people can make the NBA and play
01:35
for the Los Angeles Lakers
01:36
because their dad plays for him
01:37
and said, you better draft my
01:38
son right here. And very few
01:40
players that are in the second
01:41
round demand full contracts that
01:43
are just in the NBA and not
01:44
two-way contracts because their
01:46
name is Bronny James. But having
01:47
said all of those points
01:48
together, he did earn his way
01:50
here in the NBA.
01:52
Yeah, that was very good veiled
01:54
sarcasm that I do not think was
01:56
all that veiled. There is a
01:58
Bronny James specials category
02:00
on the FanDuel Sportsbook,
02:01
including what is my favorite
02:03
bet of the year. Bronny James
02:05
first assist in the 2024-25
02:07
regular season to be scored by
02:10
his father, LeBron James. Some
02:12
excellent social media
02:14
conjecture, though, after
02:15
Bronny James was drafted 55th
02:17
overall on Thursday, like people
02:19
finding out that LeBron James is
02:21
now sleeping with one of his
02:23
teammates' mothers. That is a
02:25
great one, I shall say.
