When the NBA’s new season begins Tuesday, one of its most anticipated moments will involve a player not even guaranteed to get on the court. Welcome to the NBA, Bronny James. With the age-defying act of LeBron James now reaching a 22nd season, tying the league record for longest career with Vince Carter, James has played for so long that in June the Lakers drafted his oldest son, Bronny, 20.
” Never before has a player selected 55th overall in the league’s draft played under such scrutiny to begin his first season. Though he and his father drew headlines as the first father-son duo to appear in any NBA game during the preseason, Bronny James’ exhibitions eventually drew more attention for how he played and his offensive struggles. Bronny, who signed a four-year contract worth reportedly $7.9 million, shot 29.7% from the field in six preseason games.
