LOS ANGELES - Before they become the first father-son duo to play together in the National Basketball Association (NBA), LeBron James and Bronny James had their close-up on Sept 30 at Los Angeles Lakers' media day.
They were at the centre of the show at the pre-season event a few weeks before the start of the 2024-25 season. LeBron made it clear years ago that he wanted to play alongside his son before his NBA career was over, and now that he is teammates with his 19-year-old, he was asked to reflect on his emotions about the arrangement.
“Just pure joy, man. I don't have any words. I can speak about me. You guys ask me questions about me. When it comes to him, I'm just at a loss for words,” he said.
“Just super proud. Super proud of him to get to this point. He's a man. He's ready to go.”
The Lakers selected Bronny, a guard who spent 2023 at the University of Southern California, with the 55th overall pick in June's NBA Draft.
