LeBron and Bronny James Make NBA History as First Father-Son Duo
On June 27, the Los Angeles Lakers made history by selecting Bronny James with the No. 55 pick in the NBA Draft, forming the first-ever father-son duo in the NBA with LeBron James. Savannah James, the proud mother and wife, celebrates this monumental achievement for her family and the Lakers.
Bronny James showcased his basketball prowess early at Sierra Canyon High School, where his impressive performances earned him a spot at USC. At USC, Bronny continued to refine his skills, despite facing a significant health challenge. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game. His journey took a dramatic turn when he suffered a cardiac arrest episode, which led to surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. Despite this setback, Bronny’s resilience and determination have been unwavering.
This historic moment is a testament to the dedication and hard work of both LeBron and Bronny James. LeBron, already a legendary figure in the NBA, now has the unique honor of playing alongside his son. This remarkable achievement is a proud moment for the entire James family and a significant milestone in NBA history.
