In a move that has fans buzzing, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. The highly anticipated pick has set the stage for an unprecedented father-son duo in the NBA, as Bronny will join his father, LeBron James, on the court next season.

The latest episode of UNDISPUTED saw Skip Bayless, Paul Pierce, and Keyshawn Johnson reacting to this historic moment. The trio discussed the potential impact Bronny will have on the Lakers, with Keyshawn Johnson, a lifelong Lakers fan, expressing his excitement and relief at the selection. "There's just a certain sigh of relief," Johnson said, emphasizing the significance of the moment for Bronny and his family.

Paul Pierce and Skip Bayless also weighed in on the selection, noting that Rich Paul of Klutch Sports had made it clear to other teams to steer clear of picking Bronny, thereby ensuring the Lakers could draft him at number 55. This strategic move has now set the stage for what will be a monumental season, with LeBron playing alongside his oldest son.

The hosts drew parallels to other iconic father-son duos in sports, such as Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. in baseball, highlighting the rarity and significance of this occurrence in professional sports. The excitement is palpable as fans and analysts alike anticipate the chemistry and dynamic that Bronny and LeBron will bring to the Lakers.
