It's been a surreal 24 hours for LeBron James, who saw his son, Bronny, get drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
After the Lakers revealed Bronny's No. 9 jersey and a photo of him in his new jersey, James was left speechless.
"NO WORDS!!" James said on his Instagram with a photo of Bronny in his new threads.
A handful of NBA legends have sported a No. 9 jersey, a few of those even coming with the Lakers. Rajon Rondo, who helped Los Angeles win a championship in 2020, rocked No. 9, as did Nick Van Exel, who played for the Lakers from 1993 to 1998.
Van Exel seemingly approves of Bronny wearing No. 9, and James is excited to see his son get that approval
LeBron James @KingJamesThat's so TOUGH!! Nick the Quick was SO COLD!!!!! 🫡🤝🏾 <a href="https://t.co/p6TSgfnl1S">https://t.co/p6TSgfnl1S</a>
With the draft now behind him, Bronny is looking to impress in Summer League to ensure he gets a spot on the Lakers roster. It's likely Bronny will have to spend some time in the G-League next season as he continues to develop, but if he continues improving, he could be on the court with his father in no time.
If and when Bronny does make his NBA debut alongside James, it would mark the first time in league history that a father and son played together in an NBA game.
