Bronny James is ready to play with his famous father while starting his own legacy in the NBA.
After going undrafted in the first round on Wednesday, the oldest son of four-time NBA MVP LeBron James was selected 55th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers toward the end of the second round of the NBA draft on Thursday.
The selection creates the first father-son duo in NBA history.
Bronny James, a guard, played 25 games in college at USC after suffering cardiac arrest during a summer workout last July. He was seen as a fringe second- round pick and highly expected to join his future Hall of Fame father in Los Angeles.
Bronny James, 19, only had private workouts with the Lakers and Phoenix Suns before the draft.
