The eldest son of LeBron James was selected in the second round at No. 55 overall.

Bronny James was finally selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday. His name wasn't called until pick No. 55 by the Los Angeles Lakers, thanks to Rich Paul clearing the way, and now he gets to join his father, LeBron James, as the fourth father-son duo to be teammates on a major professional sports tram.

The James family was not in attendance to hear Bronny's name called in person. Instead, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, they gathered for a private dinner in New York City with friends and family. The eldest son of LeBron had a reserved reaction after hearing NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum call his name to the Lakers.
