How old was Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James when he had Bronny James?

LeBron James is considered by many as one of the greatest players in the history of the game. He has achieved numerous milestones in his career, including winning multiple NBA championships and being named the league’s most valuable player several times. However, the legacy of his name is not nearing its end as the NBA prepares to welcome Bronny James into it soon enough.

LeBron’s relationship with high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson, started when James was making a name for himself as one of the most promising college athletes of his generation. The two met when they were in their early teens and started dating in their senior year of high school. After LeBron was drafted into the NBA in 2003, he and Savannah continued their relationship – and welcomed their first child, LeBron James Jr, also known as Bronny, on October 6, 2004.

As it turns out, at the time of Bronny’s birth, LeBron was 20 years old. He was just starting his NBA career and had not yet achieved the level of success he would later become known for. Since Bronny’s birth, LeBron has become one of the most successful athletes in the world, winning four NBA championships, four Most Valuable Player awards, and much more. While he is nearing the end of his career as a 38-year-old veteran at the moment, the legacy of his name is set to continue as Bronny – now an accomplished high school athlete – is set to make his way into the NBA soon.

When is Bronny James eligible to be drafted into the NBA?

It turns out that Bronny will be eligible to be drafted into the NBA in the 2024 Draft.

The 18-year-old Bronny who stands at 6’3” and turns out for the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers will be eligible to take part in the NBA Draft in 2024 – meaning he has more than a decent chance to play with his father. At least that is what the father-son intends on doing.

My last year will be played with my son,” James told The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd at the 2022 NBA All-Star weekend. “Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”
