It’s been years in the making, and today the Los Angeles Lakers chose 19-year-old Bronny James with pick No. 55 in the NBA draft. The selection will unite the teen with his father, all-time great LeBron James on the Lakers’ roster, the first ever father-son pairing in the league’s history to play at the same time, much less on the same team. The move creates not only a compelling box office draw but fulfills a stated dream of the elder James: to play with his son in the NBA.
After winning multiple titles, MVP awards and being selected as an All Star in every year of his 20 year career, the 39-year-old superstar had said repeatedly that the one thing left he wanted in basketball was to play on the same NBA team with his son. The elder James has softened that stance somewhat in recent months, indicating that playing against his son in the NBA would also be great. No need to worry about that now.
Bronny James comes to the Lakers as one of the last picks in the draft, and some question whether he would have even made the cut had his father not been among the greatest players ever. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in one season playing for the U.S.C. Trojans last season. Those numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, however, as the younger James’ season was truncated after he collapsed during a practice last July due to cardiac arrest caused by a congenital heart defect. He was hospitalized, recovered, and joined the team for the final 25 games of the season.
