The Lakers just scored a historic win off the court! 🏆 The team drafted 19-year-old Bronny James, son of NBA legend LeBron James, with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday. If LeBron stays with the Lakers, they'll become the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history. 👏 Talk about a family affair!
Bronny, who averaged 4.8 points per game at USC last season, is already winning hearts after a challenging rookie year. The guard battled back from a cardiac arrest scare in 2023, taking nearly five months to recover before hitting the court. 💪 His resilience has teammates like Anthony Davis cheering: \"He's got that dog in him,\" Davis said, praising Bronny's work ethic.
Now, all eyes are on LeBron’s next move. The 39-year-old superstar has until Saturday to decide whether to accept a $51.4 million player option for next season—or negotiate a new three-year deal worth up to $162 million. 🤯 Lakers fans are already dreaming of seeing the James duo light up Crypto.com Arena next season. 🔥
