Savannah James got emotional watching the Lakers draft her eldest son, Bronny James, on Thursday night ... needing a tissue to wipe away her tears of joy.
LeBron's wife was seen standing just behind the 19-year-old hooper when it was revealed LA took him with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft ... and just after she handed her boy a Lakers hat, the waterworks started flowing.

Check out the clip, Mom couldn't have been more proud!
As for Dad, it doesn't seem he was in the immediate vicinity of the private party .
