2 Years After Drake Took His Mom on a Date, Hornets’ Latest Addition Gets a Shoutout From “Uncle” LeBron James

There was a talent overload in the 2023 NBA draught. Victor Wembanyama was the unusual talent that caught everyone's attention, sure. However, there were still the collegiate athletes who had attracted the interest of NBA organisations and scouts. Amari Bailey, a UCLA guard and former teammate of Bronny James, might be one of the draft's "steals." Hearing Bailey's name in the draught made his Sierra Canyon brother happy. The 19-year-old also received a wish from LeBron James as he gets ready to start his career with Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets.

Amari Bailey gets props from
 king  James

Bailey is well-known for his friendship with rap star Drake in addition to basketball. In reality, the artist had reserved Dodger Stadium for a romantic meal with his mother Johanna Leia.

Since then, the rapper and Bailey have become quite close. Drake even gave him a specially designed OVO chain. In addition, he frequently attends Sierra Canyon games to support the 6-foot-5 guard.

Three days prior, Bailey heard his name announced as the 41st choice, a reward for his efforts. Celebrating the 19-year-old’s tremendous feat, LeBron James dedicated an Instagram story for the young man. “Yessir!!! Proud of you nephew” wrote the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

Bailey – A worthy pick

Heading 3

At only 19, Bailey has a sophisticated offence. His superiority in scoring as a high schooler was obvious. The five-star prospect earned his spot as a Bruin by averaging just under 30 points per game.
