History was made when the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James in the second round of the NBA draft.
For the first time, a father-son duo will play together in the NBA.
The Lakers picked Bronny, LeBron James’ eldest son, with the 55th overall pick.
It’s a story straight out of a movie.
Bronny, a 19-year-old guard, has had a rollercoaster journey to this moment.
He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in his lone season at USC.
What makes it more remarkable is his recovery from a cardiac arrest episode.
He returned to the court midseason, showing resilience and determination.
The James family celebrated the news in New York with an intimate dinner party.
LeBron was emotional, leading a champagne toast to mark the occasion.
The Lakers’ vice president, Rob Pelinka, highlighted the historic nature of this moment.
He expressed hope that both LeBron and Bronny could share the court next season.
