LeBron James Used Two Words To Describe Bronny James' Jersey Number Choice
LeBron James got his wish of seeing his son, Bronny James, selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 55 overall pick of the 2024 NBA draft. However, nothing made it more real for LeBron than actually seeing an image of Bronny in uniform.
On Friday, the Lakers revealed a picture of Bronny wearing a No. 9 jersey with the name James Jr. on the back.
That image brought all of the emotions back that LeBron felt on Day 2 of the draft. He shared a post with the image on social media and a two-word message attached to it.
"No words," James posted in response to Bronny's jersey reveal.
There's no question that Bronny is ready for the moment after spending his entire life walking in the footsteps of one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Some have speculated that Bronny chose the No. 9 jersey as a nod to LeBron's previously worn No. 6 jersey.
"Clever, 9 is an upside down 6," one fan posted on X.
LeBron currently wears the No. 23 for the Lakers, but it's still a cool theory as to why Bronny might have potentially chosen the number he did.
Fans won't have to wait long to see Bronny in action. The newest Laker is expected to participate in the NBA Summer League with the first game being on July 6 at Sacramento.
