Lebron James’ Son Bryce Gives Unexpected Reality Check About His NBA Dream

LeBron James, the star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, will have the opportunity to play alongside his son Bronny James in the upcoming season. The Lakers drafted Bronny as the 55th overall pick in the second round of the NBA draft. This fulfills the 39-year-old star player’s wish to play with his son before retiring. However, his younger son, Bryce Maximus James, has also expressed the desire to play with his father on the same team. Unfortunately, the 17-year-old is aware that would not be possible as LeBron will likely retire by then.
