LeBron James got his greatest wish when the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James with No.55 pick. Although the King has experienced legendary moments in his career, this definitely will be like no other.
Although James could have chosen to play for any team by opting out of the final year of his contract, general manager Rob Pelinka guaranteed him a plan was in the works.
In fact, this is the first time in NBA history that a father-son duo will be on the same active roster. It’s been a long journey for the USC prospect considering his impressive recovery after a cardiac arrest.
