The Los Angeles Lakers have officially done it.
After weeks of speculation and drama, the Lakers have joined Bronny James and LeBron James together after selecting Bronny with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Lakers second-round draft selection was the talk of the town for a few weeks, but it no longer remains a mystery.
There are no rumors to talk about at this time, as Bronny is now a member of the Lakers.
Several people congratulated Bronny on his new endeavor, including Magic Johnson, who gave him a special shoutout on Twitter.
“This is a historic moment because LeBron and Bronny are the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time and on the same team,” Johnson said.

Johnson is an all-time great in the Lakers organization, and he knows a thing or two about winning championships.
He is still very connected to the team, and seemingly close with the James family.
Johnson appears excited about the pick, despite there still being a lot of unknowns surrounding Bronny.
For one, he has dealt with some severe health problems in recent history and the jury is still out on his health in the long-term.
Bronny also didn’t light up the stat sheet at USC, leaving a lot to be imagined ahead of his NBA debut.
This father-son duo is seemingly the talk of the town for NBA fans and analysts, leaving little room for discussion on other hot news items.
Can Bronny live up to the hype that has been placed upon him from a young age?
