LeBron James has broken nearly every record to cement his place in the GOAT discussion. However, what truly sets him apart in the debate against Michael Jordan, the prospect of becoming the first active father-son duo in NBA history, following the drafting of his son, Bronny James.
LeBron recently expressed his excitement about the possibility of playing alongside Bronny on the HBO show “The Shop.” He shared his emotions about the upcoming season and the chance to step onto the court with his son.
“I’m so excited for training camp… 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, sh*t, this is really cool,’” LeBron said.
For LeBron, playing alongside Bronny has always been a cherished dream. However, that dream faced a serious setback when Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during his college basketball career at USC. The incident cast doubts on whether they would ever share the court professionally.
Despite the scare, the Lakers made moves to support LeBron’s aspiration. After securing Dalton Knecht in the first round, the Lakers went on to fulfill LeBron’s dream by selecting Bronny with the No. 55 overall pick.
