LeBron James has long shared his desire to play with his son Bronny James in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar once talked about wanting to stand on the same court as Bronny, confronting or preferably playing the role of his son’s teammate before retiring.
This, combined with the fact that Bronny James has registered and wants to participate in the 2024 NBA Draft, all eyes will be on the 19-year-old and the team he will play for next season.

Reputable journalist Shams Charania quoted sources close to LeBron as saying that this player will not leave the Los Angeles Lakers just to play with Bronny James, at least for now.

“That won’t happen by default, at least for now. It will be difficult for any team to choose Bronny and have the services of LeBron James.”
Knowing that the NBA is a volatile tournament and always contains surprises, this information from a reputable journalist like Shams Charania certainly helped many Los Angeles Lakers fans breathe a sigh of relief.
At least next summer, LeBron James has no intention of saying goodbye to the Crypto.com Arena team and still wants to compete with the Lakers for the championship. However, it cannot be ruled out that James will use his advantage to get Bronny’s “relationship slot”.
Many experts believe that the Los Angeles Lakers will select LeBron’s son in the 2024 NBA Draft, especially after the relatively good performance of the boy born in 2004 at the Combine event last week. But as for Bronny, he thinks that his top goal is still to set foot in the NBA first, not to play on the same team as his father.
