"Beyond blessed," Bronny James wrote in an Instagram post.

The James family received the news while gathered together at an intimate dinner party in New York, sources told ESPN. LeBron's mother, Gloria, and wife Savannah's parents attended, along with some of Bronny's closest friends and confidants.

After the Lakers delivered their decision, LeBron led the group in a champagne toast to commemorate the occasion, a source told ESPN, and was "very emotional" considering the weight of the moment.

His father has until Saturday to opt into the final year of his Lakers contract -- worth $51.4 million for next season -- or become an unrestricted free agent. The Lakers are focused on retaining LeBron James for his 22nd season and beyond and are willing to offer the 39-year-old the maximum three-year, $162 million deal he is eligible for to keep him with the franchise, sources told ESPN.

I'm cool with this. I mean, why not?

Truth! If it's me and my son you can all suck it. Who got next?

Bronny gets drafted by the Lakers, lol. Must be nice having your dad forcing his team to draft you when nobody else in their right mind would.

It's going to be even better when Lebron demands that he plays 20 minutes a game.

That might be it.

I don't even have a Twitter and it took all of 30 seconds to find the origins of that one and how it's essentially a running joke.

Isn't nepotism just great?!

Probably has nothing to do with guaranteeing Lebrun re-signs.

Bet he makes the starting roster too

The wild Kyle Filipowski ‘girlfriend’ saga, explained as best we can.

The reported reasons Kyle Filipowski fell out of the first round in the 2024 NBA Draft are wilder than you probably could have ever guessed.

Yeah, this story is wild. The article is estimating they started dating when he was 16 and she was 24 or 25. Just a bit of grooming going on.

I knew Mormon growing up in Los Angeles, they're good people. I also have some school friends that are Mormons and they're also good people. The nicest parts of the Phoenix metro that aren't the ritzy areas are the Mormon areas. I admire their way of life, very family oriented.

He looks happy. His family is probably shit.

Lol. Ok, new board contrarian.
