LeBron Playing with Son Bronny in NBA Lakers

LeBron's Wish Fulfilled... Playing with Son Bronny in NBA Lakers

NBA's First Father-Daughter Matching Uniforms… Lakers Draft Bronny 55th in Round 2

Bronny James (19), the son of NBA star LeBron James (39), has been drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is the first time in NBA history that a father and son will play for the same team.

The Lakers selected Bronny with the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft held at the ESPN Seaport District Studio in New York, USA on the 28th (Korean time).

There have been cases of father and son becoming NBA players in succession, but there has never been a father and son playing in the NBA at the same time.

LeBron has expressed his desire to play with his son on the court.

In 2022, he told sports media outlet The Athletic, "My last year will be the year I play with my son."

Born in 2004, Bronny is LeBron's first son, born in 1984, who was born when he was 20 years old.

Bronny, a guard who entered the University of Southern California (USC) last year, collapsed due to cardiac arrest during practice in July of last year and returned to the court in December.

The NBA's physical fitness panel medically cleared Bronny for the draft.

Bronny averaged 19.4 minutes per game during the season, recording 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.

Bronny is evaluated as having a strong defense.

However, Bronny, known to be 187cm tall, is shorter than LeBron (203cm) and is evaluated as not having the same athletic ability as his father, who is considered the best of all time.

ESPN in the US expected Bronny to "gain a lot in the long run if he recovers his skills before his heart attack in terms of game sense, height, physique, shooting ability, and defensive competitiveness."
