Before Thursday, there had never been an active father-son duo playing in the NBA at the same time. And now, the first father-son pair are set to be teammates after the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James -- the eldest son of LeBron James -- with the No. 55 pick in the second round.

Bronny, 19, averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game in his lone season at USC. He joined the Trojans in game action midseason after being sidelined for nearly five months while recovering from a cardiac arrest episode that required surgery to treat a congenital heart defect.
