LeBron James now plays with his son Bronny, who was drafted this summer by the Lakers. When commenting on his first training sessions with his 20-year-old son, the King did not hide his happiness this Monday, as the NBA pre-season approaches.
LeBron James is in heaven and he doesn’t hide it. The Los Angeles Lakers star now plays alongside his son Bronny, while waiting to play with him on the NBA courts. “It’s anticipation, pure joy, honestly, coming to practice every day, working hard with him and continuing to see him improve. He pushes me, I push him, we push our teammates. C “It’s a very joyful moment not only for me but for our family”, declared the “King” this Monday at a press conference, before the resumption of the NBA scheduled for the end of October.
LeBron James, four-time NBA champion, will begin his 22nd NBA season at the age of 39, and form with his son Bronny, who will celebrate his 20th birthday on Sunday, the first father-son duo on the same floor in the North American professional league. “Our family is just so proud of him,” LeBron added of Bronny. “We’ll see if we have some opportunities to share the floor during the season. Obviously, it will be incredible. We can’t wait for that moment, but then we’ll just move forward,” he continued while his son could spend a good part of the year in the G-League (NBA development championship).
“He’s been immersed in basketball since he was born”
Asked about his relationship with his son at the family home, “at our ages we no longer have that much daily interaction,” summarized the father. “He goes down to eat, goes back to his room, he plays on the console. We are downstairs with my wife, we watch a film. We no longer really do daily meetings to discuss his work the next day. He is immersed in basketball since birth, he has understood its nuances, now he is a man, it is time for him to learn (on his part).”
Olympic champion for the third time this summer in Paris, James is “not exhausted like last time”, after London in 2012. “I feel great. I had a great summer. I feel very good physically , sharp, fresh, eager to get back to work.”
