LeBron James Jr., known as ‘Bronny,’ was picked by the Los Angeles Lakers in a strategic move to keep his father, LeBron James, on the team. The Lakers also appointed James Sr.'s friend and former NBA player JJ Redick as the new head coach.
There were reports that James Sr. might leave the Lakers, prompting the team to select his son. If James Sr. stays, it would be a historic moment in the NBA as the first father-son duo on the same team.
