The James Duo Takes the Court…
When the 2024-25 NBA season tipped off, the lights were dim, but the energy at Crypto.com Arena could have lit up Los Angeles. The big news? LeBron James and his son Bronny finally sharing the court in a real NBA game! After the Lakers snagged Bronny with the No. 55 pick—just for basketball reasons, of course—everyone was pumped to see the legendary father-son duo make history against the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeBron described the surreal moment of floating next to Bronny, but no word on whether he literally grew wings!
Joining the audience was baseball royalty, Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr., who cheered them on while probably comparing notes on iconic father-son sporting connections. LeBron, on the Pat McAfee Show, couldn’t stop gushing about how proud he is of Bronny. And let’s face it, having your dad call playing with you his biggest life accomplishment could turn anyone’s head into a basketball, but Bronny remains level-headed.
Not everyone was on board with drafting Bronny, but he’s proving critics wrong, bouncing back with gusto from a health scare and showing maturity way beyond his age. As LeBron continues to defy time, he’s acting as both father and teammate, and the future seems bright for Bronny. So, grab your popcorn—this is one show you don’t want to miss!
