“Dad get yo a** back” – LeBron James trolling himself on what son Bronny James would call him on court has fans chiming in

Los Angeles Lakers teammates Bronny James and LeBron James will be first father-son duo to play together in the NBA

The Los Angeles Lakers did not have a great off-season in terms of free-agent signings or trades for stars. In fact, they lost one of their main bench contributors to free agency. What would seem like a downer of an offseason had some respite when they drafted Dalton Knecht and Bronny James. With father LeBron James leading them, fans are already excited about what will happen on the court.

The all-time leading scorer of the NBA, though, is excited to play alongside his son. However, some ground rules have to be in place, especially what Bronny James will call his dad while on the court. While talking on The Shop, James gave some insight on this.

(If James Jr. can call him 'dad') No, we already laid that down. He cannot call me dad in the workplace. He's gotta call me 2-3, or Bron, or GOAT if he wants to, it's up to him. Can’t be running down the court like, 'Dad, I'm open!'.
LeBron James said

The superstar then reposted the clip on his official X account with a hilarious caption and couple of laughing emojis.

That caption, filled with laughing emojis, suggests the James family is having a blast coming up with names. This will be a first-time experience for them.

LeBron James and Bronny James will be the first father and son to play on a basketball court at the same time. The father will definitely teach his son how it is to play elite basketball as the season progresses. But what James Jr. will call his father is definitely a question mark.

Fans loving LeBron James poking fun at the situation

The moment this clip went online, fans had a whirlwind time bringing up their versions of what the calls words would be. Then when the Los Angeles Lakers superstar brought out his own troll, it took the creativity to another level. Fans were coming up with all sorts of names and calls as the King himself presented that opportunity.

They took to social media to share some of those names and calls. Check out a few of those examples below:

Fans will want to see how the two gel while on the court. Practicing at home is nothing compared to the competitive environment of an NBA game. The James’ will most likely light up the internet if they start winning games and having fun along the way.
