David K. Li is a senior breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.
An agent for Bronny James, son of hardwood icon LeBron James, confirmed his client will enter the NBA Draft and seek to be the first father and son to play simultaneously in the league. The deadline to enter the draft is 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday and agent Rich Paul removed any doubts that the younger James, who played just one season on a losing University of Southern California team, might not enter the annual draft.
” The NBA's all-time leading scorer LeBron James appeared to confirm Paul's statement by writing on Instagram, 'BRONNY STAYING IN DRAFT!' While there have been a slew of fathers and sons to play in the NBA — most notably Kobe and Joe “Jellybean” Bryant and Steph and Dell Curry — none of those combos ever played at the same time. And if Bronny James catches on with any team, he'll enter the league with far less critical acclaim than Bryant or Curry. The younger James is No.
