The Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James during the NBA draft, the event in which the thirty teams of the North American basketball league select new players for the following season. Bronny James is 19 years old and is the son of LeBron James, one of the best basketball players of all time; now the two could become the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA. It is not yet 100% certain because LeBron James’ contract with the Lakers ends this summer: he will have until Saturday to decide whether to extend it or not, but at this point it is much more likely that he will.
Several times in the past, LeBron, 39, had said that he would have liked to play at least one season with his son before retiring. It seems that Bronny James’ agent (who is the same as LeBron’s) pushed hard to ensure that the 19-year-old was chosen by the Lakers and not by other teams.
Bronny James is considered a fairly promising player and suitable to play in the NBA, but the expectations on him are very different from those that were on his father; He played only one season with the USC Trojans university team, initially conditioned by a heart problem, totaling 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The first round of the NBA draft took place on June 26th and the first two overall picks were two French players, Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr.
