Lil Durk Offers to Get LeBron James And Son Bronny to Join Chicago Bulls

Amid the 2024 NBA Draft’s excitement, Chicago’s rapper Lil Durk has made headlines with a generous proposition aimed at basketball royalty. The 31-year-old artist took to social media in June, reaching out directly to LeBron James, 39, with an enticing message: 

“You and Bronny come to Chicago Bulls s**t I’ll pay you if I got to,” as reported by Billboard. Undeterred, Durk further emphasized his offer on Instagram Stories, stating, “idc if I got to go half @ChicagoBulls it’s time lol.”

The timing of Durk’s offer coincided with the NBA Draft’s first night, where the Chicago Bulls made their selections, including standout Matas Buzelis. Buzelis garnered attention despite shooting below 30% from 3-point range during his tenure with the Ignite, according to Yahoo! Sports. However, the draft night concluded without Bronny James, 19, receiving a selection, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his future team placement.

Bronny’s potential draft selection carries significant historical weight, particularly if he joins the Lakers alongside his father, marking the NBA’s first active father-son duo. Such a scenario hinges not only on Bronny’s draft placement but also on LeBron’s decision regarding retirement, as per Yahoo! Sports.

Bronny had previously declared for the NBA Draft in April, maintaining his college eligibility while entering the NCAA transfer portal. In an Instagram announcement, he reflected on his growth on and off the court, expressing gratitude to USC for his freshman year and acknowledging the support of family, friends, and fans.

Durk’s public offer adds a compelling twist to Bronny’s NBA journey, stirring speculation and excitement among basketball enthusiasts awaiting the next chapter in the James family’s basketball legacy.
