LeBron James Eyes Potential NBA Future with Both Sons on the Court

SPORTS – LeBron James, the iconic forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, isn’t considering extending his NBA career long enough to play alongside his youngest son, Bryce. Approaching his 40th birthday, LeBron returned to Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, reflecting on his legacy and wondering how many more games he might play in the city where he brought home a championship in 2016. His recent two-year, $101 million contract with the Lakers could keep him active until he’s 41, leaving room for new milestones.

Wednesday night’s game against the Cavaliers was a poignant moment for LeBron—not only for the competition but also because he shared the court with his eldest son, Bronny. In a historic moment for the NBA, Bronny logged his first points—a smooth 14-foot jumper—as the crowd, who once cheered his father’s triumphs, erupted in support. The occasion marked the first time a father-son duo played together in the league.

Reflecting on his achievements as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and a multi-time champion, LeBron has one last potential goal: sharing the NBA stage with Bryce, a talented 17-year-old high school player. When asked about the prospect, LeBron remained open, acknowledging that it depends on how he physically and mentally feels in the coming years.

For now, LeBron is soaking in every moment with Bronny, living a long-held dream of playing together. He and his wife, Savannah, feel immense pride watching their children pursue their passions. “Seeing him live his dream while I’m still on the court is indescribable,” LeBron shared. Bronny and Bryce’s commitment to basketball fills him with pride beyond any championship. Whether Bryce joins him in the NBA or not, LeBron’s devotion to his family and basketball legacy endures.
