LeBron James and his son Bronny James recently received an unexpected offer from Chicago rapper Lil Durk, who expressed his desire to see the James family join the Chicago Bulls. With the NBA Draft approaching, Bronny James, a former USC guard, could soon find out where his professional career will begin. Meanwhile, LeBron James also faces a player option deadline, requiring him to decide on his NBA future.
Lil Durk took to Instagram to share his message, offering to pay for LeBron and Bronny to join the Bulls. Although Chicago holds the 11th overall pick in this year’s draft, which is higher than Bronny is projected to go, draft day trades could potentially alter the selection order.
Responding to the offer, LeBron James stated, “I appreciate the love from Chicago and Lil Durk’s enthusiasm, but my focus remains on the Lakers. My goal is to continue building on what we’ve started here and to help the team achieve even greater success.”
Despite the offer from Chicago, the expectation is that LeBron will decline his player option and seek a new multi-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, nothing is certain until the new contract is agreed upon and signed.
LeBron’s response reaffirms his commitment to the Lakers, where he has been a key figure since joining the team. As for Bronny, his journey into the NBA is just beginning, and the basketball world eagerly awaits to see where he will start his professional career.
