At the 2003 NBA draft, twenty-one years ago, LeBron James walked across the stage wearing an enormous white suit and shook the hand of the league commissioner, beaming broadly.
One of his kids might get to experience the same thing this week.
Bronny James, the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers’ oldest son, is one of the players expecting to hear their name called. After playing one season at USC, James is trying to make it into the NBA.
It’s a full circle moment for his father, a four-time NBA MVP who just finished his 21st season in the league. On Wednesday, the elder James shared his thoughts on social media.
“There’s no better feeling in the world than raising my boys to be men!” James stated in an Instagram post. “Hey guys, I’m crying like crazy thinking about your adventure thus far! I’m grateful to you both for letting me be your DAD and a part of your support system thru life’s ups and downs.
