Bronny James’ Live NBA Draft Reaction Has Fans In Tears

On Thursday afternoon, the much-anticipated moment arrived: Bronny James was finally selected in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Los Angeles Lakers chose him with their No. 55 pick in the second round, teaming him up with his father, LeBron James.

Bronny, who previously played for the USC Trojans, will join Tennessee Volunteers standout Dalton Knecht in the Lakers' draft class this year.

LeBron and Bronny also made history in the NBA. This will be the first time a father-son duo will be on the same team and play in the league simultaneously.

After the draft ended, a heartwarming video capturing Bronny's emotional response to being chosen by the Lakers surfaced online, leaving NBA fans deeply moved.

"I feel like crying too. What an achievement. That’s massive"

"WE WERE IN TEARS TOO"

"How can anyone hate on this. A young man living out his dream"

"Yall don’t understand how big of a moment this is. We could easily be saying “dang tonight would have been the night Bronny got drafted to the NBA” after his heart issue. But he’s here, this is the moment we all get to witness. There’s so much more to it than just basketball"

Bronny managed to play his freshman year with USC after suffering a cardiac arrest just a few months prior to the season. Now, after an incredible recovery, he gets to live out his dreams of playing in the NBA with LeBron on his hometown team, the Lakers. Definitely a touching moment for the young star.
