The son of basketball superstar LeBron James, Bronny (19), has been drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers. This means that father and son could soon play together for the Lakers in the NBA. During the draft process, teams of the National Basketball Association (NBA) acquire the rights to young players in order to include them in their team.
For the first time in the history of the world’s strongest basketball league, a father-son duo would be on the field. LeBron James has been playing for the Lakers since 2018 and, even at 39, is still one of the best basketball players in the world.
“Legacy” is what LeBron James wrote on Instagram after his son was chosen. The superstar posted a photo of him and LeBron Jr., known as Bronny, as a child. LeBron James has often said that it is a big goal of his to play with his son in the NBA before he retires.
Bronny suffered cardiac arrest last year
19-year-old Bronny collapsed in July of last year due to cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital. He was released from the hospital a few days later. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. James Junior returned to college basketball in December, but his performance was less good.
It was therefore unclear whether Bronny would be selected at all. LeBron James’ son will therefore have to prove himself for a permanent place in the Lakers’ squad.
