NBA History in the Making: The Lakers Select Bronny James with the 55th Pick, Marking a Historic Moment for Father/Son Duos in the League

The Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, marking a historic moment for NBA fans worldwide. Before starting his college career, Bronny faced a health scare when he went into cardiac arrest during a workout at USC in July 2023. Doctors later discovered that he had a congenital heart defect. After receiving medical clearance to return to play basketball, Bronny has been working towards his dream of playing in the NBA.

Bronny James had an impressive high school basketball career, finishing as a four-star recruit and a McDonald’s All-American while playing for Sierra Canyon. During his senior year, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, showcasing his talents on the court.

LeBron James recently opted out of his contract with the Lakers, but it is expected that he will re-sign with the team. As both LeBron and Bronny prepare to make history as the first father/son duo in the NBA, fans are eagerly anticipating their impact on the league. If Bronny were to be selected by the Lakers, he would join his father LeBron, making them the first father/son active duo in the league. This would be a historic moment for NBA fans worldwide.
