Bryce James throws cold water on prospect of playing in the NBA with his dad LeBron James: 'He's gonna be 42'

Nick Wright, Kevin Wildes and Chris Broussard react to the Los Angeles Lakers selection of Bronny James in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

LeBron James and his family celebrated Bronny James on Thursday as his NBA dream came true.

The Los Angeles Lakers selected the 19-year-old guard in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. While Bronny begins to prepare to play alongside his father, his younger brother also has NBA aspirations.

Bryce James, 16, will have to wait until 2026 before he is eligible for the NBA Draft. The younger James is skeptical his future Hall of Fame father will still be in the league two years from now.

James proceeded to throw some cold water on the idea.

After playing a handful of summer league games with Campbell Hall, James decided to take his talent to Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks.
