The Los Angeles Lakers made history by selecting Bronny James with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The team is positioned to potentially have both LeBron James and his son on the court together next season. Bronny's college basketball journey was met with challenges, but his potential as a defensive player could earn him early minutes in the NBA. Only time will tell if LeBron will sign a new contract to play alongside his son.

This scenario would mark the first time a father and son have played for the same team in a major North American professional sport in decades. The Lakers, known for prioritizing player development, have a strong history of nurturing talent, regardless of draft position. With a legacy of family leadership, the team could see a reflection of that ethos with LeBron and Bronny teaming up on the court.
