Like the saying goes, father like son. The idea of working alongside a parent in the future is a common dream for many. This dream has become a reality for LeBron James as his son, Bronny James, was selected by the Lakers as the team’s second-round pick in 2024. This means that they can now potentially share the court together as teammates.
LeBron James expressed his anticipation for this opportunity during a candid moment on an episode of The Shop, stating, “I am so excited for training camp. I mean, having your son work with you is like the greatest thing. I can’t wait for this moment. It is going to be pretty surreal for me.”
A Highlight in LeBron’s Career
“It might be the first time I sit back and… Out of my whole career, finally getting an opportunity to just sit back and be like ‘Oh sh**’ this is really cool,” LeBron shared.

I prayed and hoped that me being with my son will finally give me an opportunity to just pull back and look at it from a different lens. I appreciate it.
