Bronny James, the 19-year-old son of Los Angeles Lakers icon LeBron James, was selected 55th overall in the NBA Draft.The Los Angeles Lakers roped in LeBron James’ teen son Bronny James on Thursday’s second round of the NBA Draft by using their No. 55 selection to handpick the University of Southern California (USC) guard. Bronny, the son of NBA legend LeBron revealed that he will enter the 2024 draft back in April. Less than a year after the 19-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest at the USC, Bronny made the decision to enter the NBA Draft while maintaining college eligibility.

Bronny’s father, Lebron, is embracing the twilight phase of his legendary NBA career. The four-time NBA champion can also become a free agent this summer. Lebron can part ways with the LA Lakers by declining his $51.4m (£40.6m) player option when the window opens at month’s end.

However, LeBron has already made it clear that his NBA swansong season would feature Bronny, joining forces with the LA Lakers legend. For years, Lebron dreamed of playing alongside his son. Like father, like son: Young Bronny is all set to play with LeBron in the NBA next season!
