NBA fans are in stitches over a priceless glitch of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and his son, rookie Bronny James, in the new NBA 2K25 video game.
The Lakers selected Bronny James with the No. 55 selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, making him and LeBron James the first NBA father-son duo in history to play together. Bronny played college basketball at USC before turning pro.

Bronny appeared in 25 games during his one season of college basketball, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

The Lakers kick off their 2024-25 season on Oct. 22 against Anthony Edwards and the Minneesota Timberwolves, the first contest of a three-game homestand.
