Dwyane Wade’s beautiful reaction to LeBron, Bronny James’ Lakers pairing

The NBA Draft‘s second round ensued on Thursday, and Bronny James emerged as the 55th overall pick. Not only does he get to live out his NBA dreams, he’ll be doing it alongside his father with the Los Angeles Lakers. Following Bronny’s selection, a number of sports personalities reacted to the news, Dwyane Wade included. The former Miami Heat superstar shared a Bleacher Report photo of LeBron James carrying a young Bronny during his Cleveland Cavaliers days.

“One of the dopest moments in our sport! Congrats, Bronny!” Wade captioned the post on X.

Wade has a long history with LeBron James. Both were part of the renowned 2003 draft class, a batch that included stars such as Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh, plus many other names who carved out fruitful careers in the league.

They both began their careers as Eastern Conference opponents, with James spearheading the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wade starring in the Heat. That all changed in 2010, when both men decided to team up in Miami alongside Bosh, marking the beginning of the “Big Three” Heat era.

Together, James and Wade won back-to-back titles — first in 2012 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and the following year via a memorable seven-game series against the San Antonio Spurs.

Both men’s careers have been intertwined throughout the years. They’re also known to be close friends, which is unsurprisingly why Wade would congratulate his former running mate’s eldest son.

Bronny’s selection is one step closer to fans witnessing the first-ever father-son duo in action. Throughout the league’s history, no NBA player has ever played long enough to reach their son’s entry in the league…until Thursday that is.

“Next season, NBA history could be made, and NBA history should be made in a Lakers uniform,” Lakers genral manager Rob Pelinka said in reference to the topic, per ClutchPoints’ Nick Meyer.
