After the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, controversy arose over whether his famous father, LeBron James, had unfairly influenced his selection. Some questioned if Bronny deserved his draft spot if it were not for his father’s role with the Lakers. However, recently, a former NBA guard has come out in support of the father-son duo.
On the Scoop B Radio Podcast, the former NBA guard, Mike Bibby defended LeBron James, saying, “He did what he was supposed to do. Everybody wants the best for their kids. It’s going to be good to see, but everybody wants the best for their son. I’m glad he got a chance to do it. A lot of people won’t get that chance. It’s going to be good to see.”
Mike Bibby’s comments indicate that, even though LeBron James’ reputation might influence Bronny’s career, such connections are common in the NBA.

Bronny’s college career at USC had ups and downs, with averages of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. Despite these modest numbers, his potential and defensive skills caught the attention of NBA teams like the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. Being drafted by the Lakers is a personal milestone for Bronny and sets up a historic father-son duo.
LeBron James Proud to See Bronny James Joining The Lakers
LeBron James is very proud of his son’s achievements, saying, “As a family, obviously we’re just proud of the fact that he’s even at this point.” He added, “I mean, he’s 19 years old, so he has so much room to grow. He has so much more to learn, but the best thing, he just keeps his head down and just stays focused. So the best will continue to come as he continues to work and continues to get better and better.”
Bronny’s addition to the Lakers impacts the team’s 2024-25 season plans. The Lakers have high expectations, with LeBron James starting his 22nd season and signing a two-year, $104 million contract extension.
This unique story has led to expectations that national broadcasts will feature the team, and while Bronny might initially play in the G-League, fans eagerly await seeing him play alongside his father in the NBA.
