The Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James, the son of NBA star LeBron James, with the 55th pick in the NBA draft
This marks a significant step towards LeBron’s dream of playing alongside his son in the NBA. Bronny, 19, has made a remarkable comeback after suffering a cardiac arrest during a practice session with the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans in July 2023.
He spent one season at USC, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25 games.
LeBron James has long hoped to play with his son in the NBA, similar to Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., who played together in Major League Baseball.
If LeBron and Bronny James take the court together for the Lakers, they will become the first father-son duo to do so in NBA history.
Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka praised Bronny James for his character, work ethic, and basketball skills, saying he has the potential to be a magical addition to the team✍️“feel free to disagree in the comments 👀 ☝️👆 & let JAIYEORIE know what U think!” 📎
