NBA superstar LeBron James has called playing alongside his son, Bronny James, the most meaningful experience of his legendary career.
LeBron reflected on what the journey has meant to him, Idman.biz reports.
“Number one, for sure. That’s easy. It’s not even close,” LeBron said when asked where this moment ranks in his career. “To be able to play the game that I love and to be alongside my son this whole year has been one of the most gratifying, satisfying journeys I’ve ever been on.”
LeBron praised Bronny’s development since being drafted, highlighting his growth during summer league, preseason, and the early NBA games. “Just to see his growth from the moment he was drafted when we were all in New York at the draft party, to seeing him in summer league struggle early on and pick it up towards the end — it’s been incredible,” he said.
LeBron also pointed to key moments in Bronny’s progress, including challenges in Philadelphia and impressive performances when veteran players were rested. “I just thought he has a bright future because not only can he play the game of basketball, he’s just a great kid,” LeBron noted. “You can ask any one of his teammates, any one of the coaches — he’s a joy to be around. And I have to say that I have a lot to do with that,” he added with a smile.
Bronny James, who was drafted in 2024, has already drawn attention for his resilience and work ethic. As the Lakers aim for a strong season, the father-son storyline has become one of the most talked-about stories in sports.
This moment stands above all for LeBron, a player with four NBA championships and countless accolades. “Super proud,” he said simply, summing up the emotions of a historic night for basketball — and for the James family.
For context, LeBron James and Bronny James became the first father and son to play in the NBA together during the Los Angeles Lakers ' season opener in 2024.
