Bumping this for a related news story:

Last night, to the surprise of pretty much no one, in the second round of the NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James, the son of LeBron James.

Assuming that Bronny makes the team, and the active roster, they would become the first father-and-son duo to play together in the NBA.
