The Los Angeles Lakers have a memorable season ahead of them after last year’s disappointing performance, which resulted in head coach Darvin Ham’s termination. This year, LeBron James and his oldest son, Bronny James, will be the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA. The Lakers’ Anthony Davis has recently piqued the interest of fans by sharing his opinions on this historic moment, which is set to happen soon.
LeBron James and Bronny James are set to make history by becoming the first father-son duo to play in the NBA together, even as teammates in their purple and gold jerseys. During the team’s media day, Lakers star Anthony Davis expressed his excitement for this special moment by calling it “surreal.”
Davis said, “It’s still surreal to me that he’s on the same team as his dad. And I get to be a part of it and witness each and every practice, each game, each moment that they have for at least his first year.”
He added, “I can’t wait till they step on the floor together and officially make history. But it’s been super dope to watch so far.”
Not only Anthony Davis but everyone else is looking forward to seeing LeBron and Bronny play together. In the end, it all comes down to how the Lakers players feel about joining forces with them. Although some players are worried about Bronny’s public pressure, most of the main roster has welcomed him.
LeBron James dismisses concerns over Bronny’s summer league stats
LeBron James’ dream really came true when the Los Angeles Lakers picked his son Bronny with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. But Bronny didn’t have the best performance in the Summer League, and that got some Lakers fans a bit anxious.
Despite this, four-time NBA champion brushed off the concerns while hanging out with Team USA at the Paris Olympics, confident that Bronny would really stand out during the main NBA season.
The 39-year-old said, “I just hope for [him to get] his feet wet in the NBA — the pace of the game, the speed of the game, the physicality of the game…You can’t take anything stat-wise from the California Classic and Summer League and bring it once the season starts.”
