Team USA star, LeBron James has been making the headlines lately. This time for his social media activity involving his son, Bronny James, and WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair. Notably, James is busy at the 2024 Paris Olympics in a bid to win a historic Gold medal. However, this did not keep James away from having a little bit of fun on Instagram.
Interestingly, what caught James' attention was a promo featuring Hall of Famer Ric Flair from the 1995 Clash of the Champions pay-per-view along with fellow faction member Arn Anderson. However, in the video, the faces of LeBron James and Bronny James were superimposed on Flair and Anderson's faces respectively which made the video quite hilarious and also had the caption, "LeBron and Bronny when the NBA season starts."
James thought it was funny and posted the video to his Instagram stories along with several laughing emojis that mimicked Flair’s well-known catchphrase, “Woooooooo.” The Los Angeles Lakers acquired Bronny James as the 55th overall pick through the 2024 NBA Draft. The Lakers created history in the process as they have the first-ever father-son duo in the NBA with LeBron and Bronny James.
The whole basketball community is intrigued to watch how the first-ever father-son duo will turn out in the NBA. In addition, there will be a lot of pressure on Bronny to deliver in his debut NBA season but with his dad beside him, it will be interesting to watch how he performs in the 2024-25 NBA season.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair shares his views on Lakers drafting Bronny James
When Bronny James was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers at pick No. 55 in the 2024 NBA Draft, it was one of the most disputed selections ever. Because of this, several NBA analysts and specialists have criticized the Lakers management for prioritizing publicity and ticket sales over genuine championship aspirations.
However, former Hall of Famer, Ric Flair had different opinions on the Lakers drafting Bronny James as he took to X to share his views.
Bronny James To The Lakers! CONGRATULATIONS! So Damn Cool! And His Son Side By Side! LFG!! WOOOOO! Nothing Greater In Life Than Seeing Your Legacy Carried On Through Your Children!Ric Flair on X
One of the reasons Flair has been so vocal regarding James Jr. is because similar to LeBron James, Flair has included his kids in the family company. David Flair, his eldest son, competed in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, World Wrestling Entertainment, and World Championship Wrestling. Now, it remains to be seen how James Jr. will be treated by the NBA analysts and experts in the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
