Juice WRLD Honored by LeBron James’ Son Bronny With Lakers Jersey Number Choice
Bronny James will be rocking No. 9 with the Los Angeles Lakers in honor of Juice WRLD. Hear his explanation and fondness for the late rapper.
James was officially introduced as a Los Angeles Laker in a press conference on Tuesday (July 2) where he explained how the late rapper served as the inspiration behind his jersey number selection. The Chicago native was a mental health advocate and vulnerably opened up about his battles with substance abuse, which helped Bronny navigate certain times in life with the spotlight on him as the teenage son of one of the best to ever pick up a basketball. Unfortunatley, Juice WRLD’s life was tragically cut short at the age of 21 when he passed away from an accidental overdose due to oxycodone and codeine toxicity after suffering a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport in December 2019.
