After much anticipation and speculation, Bronny James has officially joined the Los Angeles Lakers.
Selected as the 55th pick in the 2nd round of the NBA Draft on Thursday, Bronny’s journey to the Lakers has captured widespread attention.
The excitement around Bronny’s draft prospects was palpable, with many expecting him to be a first-round pick. When his name wasn’t called on the first day of the draft, rumors and predictions about his future intensified. However, the wait ended with the Lakers making a decisive move to bring him into their ranks.
Rich Paul told other teams to not draft Bronny
Amidst swirling rumors, Rich Paul, Bronny James’ agent, reportedly advised all NBA teams except the Los Angeles Lakers against drafting Bronny, suggesting he would head to Australia if chosen by any other team.
Now, Bronny will unite with his father, LeBron James, at Crypto.com Arena. This historic moment will mark the first time a father-son duo takes the NBA court together, adding a new chapter to the James family’s legacy and the Lakers’ storied history.
