Poll: What is the best father-son(s) combo in sports history?
The L.A. Lakers did exactly what we all expected and exactly what LeBron James told them to do by taking his 19-year-old son Bronny James with the 55th overall pick in the NBA Draft.
Is Bronny an NBA prospect? Hell no. But if anyone has the ability to manipulate the system to get his son into the league, it's the second greatest player of all-time.
