The Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James began his iconic journey with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he made his mark as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Now, as his eldest son, Bronny James, prepares to enter the NBA draft, speculation is swirling about the possibility of him following in his father’s footsteps by being drafted by the Cavaliers.
On a recent episode of ‘UNDISPUTED’ with Keyshawn Johnson and Skip Bayless, NBA legend Paul Pierce discussed the potential scenario of Bronny being drafted by Cleveland. Pierce suggested that if the Cavaliers select Bronny, it could entice LeBron to return to his hometown team and finish his illustrious career where it all began.
“What if Cleveland drafts Bronny? It might entice LeBron to go home. Why not finish out where you started?” Pierce said.
Meanwhile, Pierce also entertained the idea of Bronny joining the Lakers while appearing on “The Truth Lounge”. He highlighted the potential entertainment value of LeBron and Bronny teaming up on the same squad, stating how such a dynamic duo could draw crowds and sell tickets.
LeBron James has frequently wanted to share the court with his son in the NBA. The prospect of father and son playing together at the professional level has captured the imagination of basketball fans worldwide. Even former NBA player Chandler Parsons has weighed in on the conversation. Parsons’ suggestion stems from the fact that Bronny was born in Cleveland, coinciding with LeBron’s tenure with the Cavaliers at the beginning of his NBA journey and again a championship win in 2016.
