NEW YORK - Bronny James heard his named called in the NBA draft, and history was made.

With the No. 55 pick in the second round, the Los Angeles Lakers selected James. Deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announced the pick from ESPN's Seaport studio on the edge of lower Manhattan's Financial District where the second round took place.

Bronny, and his dad, NBA star LeBron James, are the first father-son player pair in the NBA at the same time. Bronny, 19, was drafted nearly 21 years to the date after LeBron was chosen No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003.

He is a 6-2 guard with exceptional leaping ability and a strong defensive disposition.
