It was the dream that LeBron James first floated a few years ago, the notion of playing in the NBA alongside one of his sons. And it's a step closer to reality now.
The Los Angeles Lakers selected LeBron James' son Bronny James of USC in the second round of the NBA Draft.
The draft move doesn't guarantee that father and son will actually play in a game together, nor does it even guarantee that Bronny James will be on the Lakers' roster next season. But it certainly raises the possibility that it could happen in what would be an NBA first - a father-son on-court duo in the league simultaneously as players.
Bronny James is a guard, one who was listed at 6-foot-4 on Southern California's roster but measured at 6 feet, 1 1/2 inches at the draft combine. That would make him one of the shortest players in the NBA, but his athleticism and defensive ability helped give him this opportunity.
