Already the holder of numerous records and considered one of the best players to have played there, LeBron James could once again make NBA history. The Los Angeles Lakers star has never hidden his desire to play alongside his son, which has never been done in the Big League. Bronny James has just announced that he will participate in the 2024 Draft.
At 39 years old, LeBron James never ceases to impress. This season, the King reached a bar never reached before, that of 40,000 points scored in the NBA. Recently, he scored his 672nd game with more than 30 points, regular season and playoffs, surpassing Michael Jordan. LeBron James already has several records to his name, but there is one more thing he would like to do before the end of his career: play with his son.

A first father/son duo in the NBA?
Which would be a first, since a father and a son have never played on the same team in the NBA as players. In this sense, Bronny James made it official on Monday that he will enter the 2024 Draft, having suffered a cardiac arrest last July. However, the son of LeBron James left the door open to a second varsity season. “I had a year with ups and downs, but they all helped me grow as a man, a student and an athlete. I have made the decision to enter the NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility, and will also enter the NCAA transfer portal. Thank you to USC for a great first year, and as always, thank you to my family, friends, doctors, athletic trainers and fans for their support,” he said in an Instagram post.
“I have to play with Bronny”
LeBron James has never hidden it, playing alongside his son is one of the goals he wants to achieve before calling it quits. A wish that he expressed once again last year to ESPN. “I have to be on the field with my boy, I have to play with Bronny. I asked him what he wanted to do and he told me he would like to join the NBA. It’s his job to do the work. I’m here, I’m waiting for him,” he declared, even if he added that he could be content to play against him: “Either in the same team or as an opponent. At least one match-up against him. Not the whole game, of course, because he plays point guard and I play center or whatever the team needs at this stage of my career. »
