Bronny James has revealed his reason for choosing to wear No. 9 on the Los Angeles Lakers, as he is still overwhelmed by his second-round selection in the NBA Draft.
The 19-year-old eldest son of now new teammate LeBron, 39, explained how the single digit on his back serves as a tribute to close friend and former rapper, Juice WRLD.
He said: ‘Juice has been a big part of me, keeping calm in some situations that I’ve been through. So yeah, just paying homage to him especially because he passed. It’s a really important thing for me.’
