LeBron James experienced a dream come true at Lakers Media Day with his son, Bronny, by his side. They shared a special moment and captured photos together, but it was more than just a headline.
For rookie Bronny, this was a major “welcome to the NBA” moment. Facing off against the best player of his generation—his own father—made this experience even more memorable.
Some people might think Bronny would be nervous on his first media day with the Lakers. But he and his dad, LeBron James, had a lot of fun joking around. Their father-son interactions brought joy to Media Day, making it special for everyone, and NBA fans loved seeing their fun dynamic.
The pair was really fun to watch. They tossed around jokes and playful banter all day long. At one point, Bronny walked up to LeBron after his interview and playfully said, “Ew.”
Lakers GM Rob Pelinka mentioned that LeBron schooled Bronny during practice. Bronny responded, “I looked at the film, and he did step out of bounds. But I’m not gonna go there.” LeBron shot back, “What do you mean you’re not going to go there right now? You just went there.”
Bronny was giving it a shot to defend himself, but LeBron just laughed and said, “Man, you’re a rookie anyways.”
