With his incredible longevity, LeBron James continues to find himself in somewhat crazy situations. It is therefore natural that he reacted to the upcoming arrival of his “nephew” in the NBA. A young man who was an infant when the King was drafted into the league, and who he should face next year…
By being at the top level for more than 18 seasons, LeBron James pushes the limits of an athlete’s longevity. So inevitably, aware of being at the twilight of his career, savors every little fun moment that fate puts in his way. For the past few months, for example, he has had the pleasure of facing players who were the teammates of his son Bronny, BJ Boston and Ziaire Williams, and whom he coached a few years ago.
An inevitably memorable memory, to which will be added that concerning Malaki Branham. The King took under his wing this back who passed through his high school in St Vincent’s St Mary’s, and was born on May 12, 2003, barely more than a month before LeBron’s Draft!
LeBron’s “nephew” soon in the NBA, the King reacts
Since then, the baby has grown well, and from the top of his 96 meter, he decided to present himself to the NBA Draft after a year on the side of the university of Ohio State. Branham made the announcement recently on his Twitter account, and it is logical that he was entitled to a message of encouragement from LeBron, on the lookout for the ups and downs in his foal’s young career:
Good luck nephew!!! ???????????? https://t.co/86fqRdT5Fg

Good luck nephew!!! ????????????
A question now arises: will Branham be selected? According to the latest mock drafts, it’s a big yes. An intelligent, athletic and powerful player, he brings a lot defensively and does not hesitate to get involved in the rebound fight. The best way to find out is still to consult these few images of the promising prospect below:
If Malaki Branham is indeed drafted, as it should be, LeBron James will inevitably be moved by crossing swords with his protege next year. Because for the King, some things go much further than just the orange ball.
