Bronny James recently made a heartfelt tribute to Juice WRLD in a thoughtful manner. The 19-year-old NBA player, and eldest son of LeBron James, was drafted 55th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers, marking a significant milestone in his career according to The Athletic. This draft selection puts an end to a year of speculation surrounding his professional future, especially following a cardiac arrest incident he experienced during a USC practice last year.
In a touching gesture, the Lakers’ Instagram account announced on Saturday that Bronny has chosen to wear the number 9 on his jersey, a number that seems to serve as a homage to Juice WRLD. This decision reflects a meaningful connection between Bronny and the late rapper, showcasing the impact that Juice WRLD had on the young basketball player.
