LeBron James and Son Bronny Make NBA History as Father-Son Duo Joins Lakers Training Camp

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — LeBron James is gearing up for his 22nd training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers, but this one is unlike any other. The NBA legend is not only sharing a locker room and court with his 19-year-old son, Bronny James, but they are also set to make history as the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA.

The excitement was palpable as LeBron expressed his joy at seeing one of his basketball dreams come true. The father-son duo donned the Lakers’ gold uniforms at media day, showcasing their bond and easy banter. Bronny, whose jersey reads “JAMES JR.,” is balancing the thrill of reaching the NBA with the challenge of playing alongside his father.

While LeBron is thrilled about the opportunity to work with his son, Bronny is looking forward to the competitive practices ahead. Despite their partnership, Bronny humorously admits he prefers to keep his distance from his famous father off the court.

New Lakers coach JJ Redick is planning for their historic appearance together early in the season, with Bronny likely spending time with the South Bay Lakers in the G League to hone his skills. LeBron has realistic goals for his son’s growth as a basketball player and emphasizes the importance of accountability and teamwork.

The Lakers teammates are also excited about Bronny’s arrival, with Anthony Davis expressing pride in witnessing the father-son duo make history. As the James family prepares to make their mark on the NBA, fans eagerly anticipate the moment when LeBron and Bronny step onto the court together, creating a historic and powerful moment in basketball.
