Bollywood Fever: The 2024 NBA Draft came and went, and what just about everyone expected to happen happened. After picking up Dalton Knecht in the first round, a move seen by many as a valuable addition, the Lakers finished their draft by selecting Bronny James 55th overall.
As soon as Bronny announced his decision to enter the draft, many anticipated this moment.

LeBron James’ protective instincts over his son have already come into play off the court. A social media user noted that on the day Bronny got drafted, LeBron unfollowed NBA reporter Rachel Nichols on Instagram. This action followed Nichols’ comments on Undisputed, where she expressed doubts about Bronny ever becoming a star in the league. However, she did mention that it wouldn’t be “crazy” to take a flyer on him in the second round and attempt to develop him.
Lakers’ Plans for Bronny James
The Lakers’ decision to draft Bronny aligns with Nichols’ suggestion to take a chance on him in the second round. However, it’s evident that LeBron has higher expectations for his son than many others do. LeBron’s unfollowing of Nichols could be seen as a response to her skepticism and a demonstration of his unwavering support for Bronny’s potential.

With Bronny joining the Lakers, the anticipation builds around the possibility of seeing the father-son duo play together on an NBA court. This unique scenario adds an exciting narrative to the upcoming NBA seasons.
