LeBron and Bronny James join list of top NBA father-son duos - ESPN

Some of the NBA's greatest talents were raised not too far from the league.

Though no father-son duo has ever played in the same NBA game, LeBron James has long expressed his desire to play in the NBA with his son, Bronny James. The elder James' wish came one step closer to being true on Thursday, when the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny as the No. 55 pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft.

The history of the league proves that talent doesn't often fall too far from the family tree. Here are some other father-son tandems that have reached the league.

One of the best 3-point shooters of his era, Dell Curry played 16 seasons in the NBA, winning the 1993-94 Sixth Man of the Year award.

Dell shot at least 40% from deep in nine seasons, including a league-high 47.6% in the 1998-99 season. He still holds records for the most games played and 2-point field goals made in Charlotte Hornets franchise history.

Curry often brought his two sons, Stephen Curry and Seth Curry, to shootarounds during his nine seasons in the association — and they followed in their dad's footsteps, becoming elite 3-point shooters themselves. Since entering the league in 2013, Seth shot below 40% from the 3-point line in just one full season. In 14 NBA seasons and counting, Stephen has shot below 40% from deep only twice.

Stephen has also won four championships and earned 10 All-Star appearances, 10 All-NBA honors and two MVP awards with the Golden State Warriors. In 2022, he became the NBA's all-time leader in 3-point field goals made.

The brothers faced off in the 3-point shooting competition during NBA All-Star Weekend in 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Stephen finished second, while Seth didn't advance past the first round.
