The Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny as the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft. Additionally, the Lakers guaranteed Bronny a contract one day before agreeing to a new contract with King James. This marks the first time in NBA history that a father-son duo will play at the same time. On Saturday, Bronny scored his first professional career point, prompting LeBron James to react while watching the game on his phone.
