Lakers Pick LeBron James’ Teen Son, Bronny, In NBA Draft, Uniting Father And Son On Same Team

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, creating not only a box office draw but fulfilling 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 in the NBA with his son.
