Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has reportedly signed a two-year contract extension worth about $98 million. The deal sets the stage for the basketball star to play alongside his oldest son Bronny if he gets drafted in 2024
It’s official: Bronny James and LeBron James will become the first-ever father-son duo to play at the same time in the NBA — and they will be on the same team. On June 27, the Los Angeles Lakers selected 19-year-old Bronny James in the 2024 NBA draft. The former USC Trojan was drafted at No. 55 during the second round. He will soon share the court with his dad, who has spoken for years about his dream of playing with his son.
Duane Ranki, a Suns insider for The Arizona Republic, described Bronny James as “an NBA talent” when speaking to TODAY.com. Ranki predicted that Bronny James would be drafted during the second round. Although the teenager is making history by playing with his father —who some considered the greatest basketball player of all time — his road to the NBA wasn’t easy. Before he played his first game for USC, he suffered cardiac arrest in July 2023.
