In June, the Los Angeles Lakers made history by selecting Bronny James with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Of course, there have been several father-son duos in BNA history, but this would be the first time the two play on the court together.

However, a parody Twitter account known as NBACentel has reported that Bronny James will retire alongside his father, LeBron.

If that sounds insane, you wouldn't be surprised to learn that it is also a parody account that has become famous for posting satirical content or fake news.

However, this didn't stop the internet from going crazy over the fake story, even though they knew it wasn't true.

"What a legend was in the league for one year and already broke the record for most points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, and everything else as a father son duo," joked one comment.

"As of today, I would've put Bronny James ahead of Tim Hardaway on the all time list," said another.

"That would be dope frfr. Bronny should be a warzone streamer and he would make millions off his name alone," a third added.

So far, Bronny James has appeared in five preseason games for the Lakers. None have been anything too impressive.

His best performance came against the Phoenix Suns when he dropped four points, two rebounds, and zero assists in 17 minutes.

In every other game, he has scored two or fewer points and has only accumulated three rebounds, one assist, and three blocks.

These numbers make it unlikely that he gets much important playing time when the regular season rolls around.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show.

Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
