Well, it actually happened.
Former USC guard Bronny James will join his dad, LeBron James, with the Los Angeles Lakers as the team’s second-round pick.
The Lakers chose the younger James with the 55th pick on Thursday afternoon after he fell from the first round as expected, sending him to a Los Angeles team that’s trying to win a championship while the elder James is still playing at a high level.
While Bronny James might spend a good bit of time in the NBA G League as he prepares for a full-time role with Los Angeles, it’s not hard to imagine that LeBron James will want a chance to play with his son sooner than later.
NBA fans weren’t shocked in the slightest by Bronny James being drafted by the Lakers, but it’s still a seismic moment in NBA history as one of the greatest players of all time gets the rare chance to play with one of his kids.
