NBA fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating the 2024 NBA Draft, where it’s rumored that LeBron James’ son Bronny could be selected by the Los Angeles Lakers. If this were to happen, it would make history as they would become the first father/son active duo in the league.
Before embarking on his college journey, Bronny faced a health scare when he went into cardiac arrest during a workout at USC in July 2023. Doctors later discovered that he had a congenital heart defect. After receiving medical clearance to return to play basketball, Bronny has been working tirelessly towards his dream of playing in the NBA. The Lakers took a chance on him by selecting him with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft.
Bronny James had an impressive high school career, earning four-star recruit status and being named a McDonald’s All-American while playing for Sierra Canyon. During his senior year, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, showcasing his talents on the court.
LeBron James recently opted out of his contract with the Lakers but is expected to re-sign with them soon. As both LeBron and Bronny prepare to make history as the first father/son duo in the NBA, fans are eagerly awaiting their impact on the league.
