During the Los Angeles Lakers’ media day on Monday, LeBron James confided his joy at being able to train with his son, and perhaps play a few minutes in the NBA with him during the upcoming season.
LeBron James warned: during matches or training, there is no question of Bronny James calling him dad. The eldest son of the legendary NBA player, who will celebrate his 20th birthday on Sunday, will therefore call him “Bron”. But despite these strict instructions, LeBron James is happy to find himself in the Lakers jersey with his son, drafted this summer in 55th position by the legendary Californian franchise. The two men were obviously bombarded with questions and requests for photos on Monday during “media day”. And they responded with a smile. “There’s a lot of excitement,” admitted LeBron James. It’s pure joy to be able to come to work every day, to work hard with your son and to be able to see him continue to grow. We push each other. He pushes me, I push him. We push our teammates. This is a very happy moment, not only for me, but also for our family. (…) If you have kids, I mean, at my age and his age, there’s not really any daily interaction. He goes downstairs, he eats, he goes to his room, he plays a video game. If I’m watching a movie with my wife, it will stop. So it’s not much, like “Meet me at the table at 5 p.m., we need to discuss tomorrow’s work.” This won’t happen.”
Bronny James should mostly play in the G-League
After just one season in the NCAA, Bronny James should not be entitled to many minutes in the NBA. He should instead spend most of his time in the G-League, with the South Bay Lakers, a team based in El Segundo, in the suburbs of Los Angeles. But LeBron James will know how to take advantage of every minute spent with his son. “If we get a few opportunities to play throughout the season, obviously that’s going to be great,” LeBron said. It will be great. We will wait for the moment when that happens and we will go from there. (…) I want to see him continue to progress as a basketball player, whether it’s here with us or with the G-League teamand see him continue to improve more and more. » The Lakers will play their first preseason game Friday against Minnesota. The opportunity to see the number 23 jersey flocked “James” and the number 9 flocked “James Jr” together?
