The Lakers actually drafted Bronny James and NBA fans had so many feelings

Well, it actually happened.

Former USC guard Bronny James will join his dad, LeBron James, with the Los Angeles Lakers as the team’s second-round pick.

The Lakers chose the younger James with the 55th pick on Thursday afternoon after he fell from the first round as expected, sending him to a Los Angeles team that’s trying to win a championship while the elder James is still playing at a high level.

While Bronny James might spend a good bit of time in the NBA G League as he prepares for a full-time role with Los Angeles, it’s not hard to imagine that LeBron James will want a chance to play with his son sooner than later.

NBA fans weren’t shocked in the slightest by Bronny James being drafted by the Lakers, but it’s still a seismic moment in NBA history as one of the greatest players of all time gets the rare chance to play with one of his kids.
