From the time Bronny James’ prospective entrance in the NBA Draft has come up, there have been a lot of debates surrounding it. The reason for that is his father, LeBron James. Bronny has to carry the burden of living up to the expectations of his father’s celebrated career. But with the way he is playing currently, many analysts think entering the NBA right now is a wrong move for him, but King James has some other plans.

Bronny’s numbers may not look top-notch, but two mystery teams are already eyeing the 19-year-old guard. But their motive to acquire him is not because he is a great athlete, but because of his father and his desire to share the court with his son once before he retires.
