It è never happened in NBA history to see father and son play together

.

In the end, è it è happened. Bronny James will play, next NBA season, in the same franchise as his father LeBron. The son of King James è was selected with call number 55 in the second round of the NBA Draft by the very Los Angeles Lakers, that is, where "reigns" his father.

For the first time in NBA history, father and son will play together. Upon learning the news while in New York, ESPN reports, LeBron celebrated the happy news with champagne. Now there are no more doubts: he will remain yellow-viola next year to "lead" his son on the court (although there is still a lack of officialdom).

"In the history of the NBA, it è never happened that a father and a son shared the same basketball court in this league and it all really seems like something magical", said Pelinka, vice president of basketball operations and general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bronny, 19, maintained averages of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists, in 19.4 minutes per game, in his only season at USC. He è joined the Trojans after being forced not to play for nearly five months  due to the notorious cardiac arrest episode that required surgery to treat a congenital heart defect. Now, fully recovered, è ready to play with his father LeBron.
