Bronny James has already made NBA history as the first player to become drafted while his father is still an active player in the NBA. Today, Bronny was selected in the second round of the draft as the 55th pick by the Los Angeles Lakers. Social media has been in a tizzy ever since. It is safe to say that that fans are torn by the Lakers decision to draft Bronny. There's a mix of excitement and skepticism in the air as some are looking forward to seeing the father son duo in any capacity while others aren't so sure that Bronny is ready for the NBA.
Here's what fans and critics are saying on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Earvin 'Magic' Johnson offered his support:
Congratulations to Bronny James on being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers! This is a historic moment because LeBron and Bronny are the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time and on the same team.

Bronny James - “This is a serious business and I don’t think there would be a thought that I’m just drafting this kid because of his Dad”

**as Rich Paul makes calls saying if anyone but his Dad’s team drafts him, he’s going to Australia pic.twitter.com/UuXU6MM3eM
Well this proves Bronny correct. There were other teams so interested that Rich was threatening them. So this isn’t the diss you think it is.

A guy who can’t average five points a game in college has no business being in the NBA.

Complete joke.🤝🤝
What do you think? Was Bronny drafted to the NBA due to pressure from his Father? Did Lebron James have influencer over his son being picked by the Los Angeles Lakers. Is Bronny even ready to be an NBA player. Will he make an impact in the NBA during his first year? Will he even get playing time?
