The 2024-25 season will be a historic one for LeBron and Bronny James. It will mark the first time a father-son duo will share the NBA court as active players. Fans are already dreaming about seeing them play together, and for LeBron, it’s the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to team up with his son.
The 39-year-old superstar discussed the thrilling prospect of playing with his oldest kid in a recent episode of “The Shop,” which was shot in Paris when LeBron James was celebrating his third Olympic gold medal in 2024.
He said, “I can’t wait for this moment. I really cannot wait to hit the floor with [Bronny]. It’s going to be pretty surreal for me. That might be the first time I sit back like, ‘Oh, s—, this is really cool.”
Since the draft, Bronny’s path has been challenging due to the high expectations placed on him as LeBron’s son. Despite these pressures, the NBA GOAT believes Bronny will soon showcase his best and bring a new playstyle to the court.
LeBron James has faith in Bronny’s potential to develop as a teammate
Many predicted Bronny James would spend his next two seasons in the G League after struggling to impress the Lakers’ fans. He recently showed promise while playing solid defense, suggesting he could handle criticism and improve under LeBron James’ guidance.
In an exclusive interview with Craig Melvin on TODAY, aired on July 11, he shared, “I’m going to hold him accountable, and he should hold me accountable when I do things not right. I can separate dad from teammate. And, I think, as he continues to grow, and as he continues to learn, I hope he’s able to separate son from teammate, as well.”
