Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, are on the verge of making NBA history. For the first time ever, a father and son may share the court in a competitive NBA game. Lakers head coach J.J. Redick has hinted that the highly anticipated moment could happen this season.
Bronny, who signed a $7.9 million rookie contract with the Lakers after being drafted 55th in the 2024 NBA Draft, is preparing to play alongside his legendary father. Despite murmurs of nepotism, the younger James has expressed confidence in handling the pressure of playing at the highest level and silencing the critics.
While Bronny is expected to spend time developing with the South Bay Lakers in the G League, Redick has suggested that his NBA debut will come sooner rather than later. “We don’t have anything set in stone, but it’s something we’ve definitely discussed as a staff,” Redick stated. “We’re all excited to see what this father-son duo can bring to the court.”
LeBron, entering his 22nd season and coming off a gold-medal win with Team USA in Paris, shows no signs of slowing down at age 39. As both father and son gear up for the upcoming season, fans eagerly await the historic moment when they could see the two wearing Lakers jerseys side by side.
