LeBron and Bronny James
The upcoming NBA season has one of the most exciting NBA storylines as history will be made with the father-son duo of LeBron James and his son, Bronny. Fans were excited when Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka shared a story during a recent offseason practice.
According to Rob Pelinka, during a scrimmage, Bronny found himself in a tough position as he had to guard his father on defense. Most might have thought LeBron James would hold back, but they were wrong as he took Bronny to the baseline, finished with a tough up-and-under move at the rim, and ended by trash-talking his son.
[Bronny James] got switched onto LeBron, and LeBron took him baseline and up and under off the glass. The words exchanged afterwards were probably more challenging than anything else.

As the NBA season approaches, the new Los Angeles Lakers coach, JJ Redick has a lot to do in his rookie season as a coach. Returning the Purple and Gold to its full might and glory would be the first thing the fans would demand.
Furthermore, another issue Redick will face is the development of Bronny James without neglecting young talents like Max Christie, Jalen Hood-Schifino, and Dalton Knect. It is generally believed that he would likely spend time with the Lakers’ G-League team, an option that he doesn’t seem bothered about.
JJ Redick reveals plans to play LeBron and Bronny sooner than expected
It looks like history will be made early enough for the first father-duo appearance in an NBA game. Although Redick didn’t provide exact details about when it might happen, he confirmed that discussions are ongoing about it.
In terms of that moment, yeah, we’ve talked about it and we’ve thought about it. We’ll get it done. I don’t want to commit to anything right now but that is going to happen and is going to happen sooner rather than later.
JJ Redick said on ESPN’s The Lowe’s Post
When the Lakers selected Bronny with the No. 55 pick in this year’s NBA Draft, they helped fulfill a long-standing dream of LeBron having to team up with Bronny. While this father-son duo has captivated fans, some critics see it as a case of nepotism.
The Lakers campaign begins with preseason games coming in fast and hot, and it would be a time for those on the fringes to impress. Their NBA season begins with a tough home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves followed by another home game against the Phoenix Suns.
