Bronny James drafted by Lakers, can now make history with LeBron

LeBron "Bronny" James Jr. is taking his talents to … Los Angeles, where history with his father awaits.

James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, was drafted by his father's Lakers with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday after going unselected in the first round. If the pair take the court together, it will be the first time a father and son have played together in NBA history.

The 6-foot-3 guard out of the University of Southern California had been a major talking point leading up to draft.
