NBA legend Magic Johnson has shared his reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers drafting Bronny James at No. 55.
“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. Watching Bronny suit up for the @Lakers during Summer League in Vegas will be must-see TV!” Johnson tweeted.
This draft marks a significant milestone for the James family, with LeBron and Bronny set to make NBA history together.
Johnson’s enthusiasm reflects the excitement surrounding the potential of seeing both father and son on the court for the Lakers.
Johnson also commented on the Lakers’ No. 17 pick, Dalton Knecht.
“Laker Nation, outstanding pick last night by our Lakers selecting Dalton Knecht – I love it! Dalton is just what the Lakers need, a deadly 3-point shooter/scorer who is physically tough and has swag. He also played for a winning program and really good college coach at Tennessee, Rick Barnes! Dalton is a guy that has a chance to start or play a lot off the bench,” Johnson tweeted.
The five-time NBA champion’s endorsement highlights Knecht’s potential to make an immediate impact on the Lakers’ roster.
The Lakers’ draft choices have generated significant buzz, with Johnson’s comments amplifying the anticipation for the upcoming season.
