Lebron James And His Son: From Family To Teammates
Bronny James, highly anticipated as a prospect, was drafted on Friday (AEST), marking a historic moment in NBA history.
For the first time ever, a father-son duo will simultaneously play in the NBA, and what makes it even more special is that they will both be on the Los Angeles Lakers.
At 19 years old, Bronny becomes one half of the inaugural father-son pair to grace the NBA together. Joining his superstar father, LeBron James, Bronny was selected as the 55th pick by the Lakers, fulfilling widespread expectations.
This momentous occasion was celebrated widely, with Lakers legend Magic Johnson congratulating Bronny on his historic achievement. The young talent’s journey to the NBA was nearly derailed in 2023 by a cardiac incident, but he made a remarkable comeback with USC in January, demonstrating resilience and determination.
Today, Bronny’s dreams have become reality as he joins the Lakers, a milestone that was marked by emotional celebrations. LeBron, visibly moved by the occasion, toasted with champagne in recognition of the significance not just for NBA history but for his son’s personal journey.
Less than a year ago, the James family faced uncertainty during Bronny’s health scare. Now, they rejoice in one of their happiest moments, witnessing Bronny achieve his NBA dream and making history alongside his father in the process.
