Playing with Bronny will be a 'dream come true’ for LeBron James

LeBron James recently expressed his joy and excitement at the prospect of playing alongside his son, Bronny James, for the Los Angeles Lakers, calling it a "dream come true." 

During the USA camp, Bron said, "Obviously it's a dream come true. For me, to see my son be able to be in the NBA alone, it's always been a dream of his. For us to be there side by side, words are lost, let's be honest. The kid has worked so hard to get back to this point.” 


LeBron, who is currently at a training camp with Team USA in Las Vegas, expressed his pride in his son's hard work, especially after the challenges Bronny faced in the past year.

The Lakers made history by selecting Bronny with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, marking the first time a father-son duo will play in the NBA at the same time.

Although Bronny is anticipated to spend much of the season in the G League with the South Bay Lakers for developmental purposes, there are expectations that the two will share the court together in the NBA, possibly early in the upcoming season.

However, he made his collegiate debut for USC in December and, though he faced challenges, he showcased potential as a professional prospect.
