League history was made during the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft presented by State Farm.
Bronny James — the oldest son of the NBA’s all-time scoring leader and four-time champion, LeBron James — was drafted Thursday by the Los Angeles Lakers, the team that his father has played for since 2018. Bronny James was taken with the No. 55 overall pick as the duo becomes the first active father-and-son pairing.
Following the moment, NBA stars, legends and more took to social media to chime in on the landmark occasion for the James family.

Congratulations to Bronny James on being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers! 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.
