LeBron James and Bronny James are set to begin a historic season together with the Los Angeles Lakers.
They are the first father-son teammates in league history and possibly the first father-son duo to appear in the same NBA game together. Their season officially began with the Lakers’ media day on Monday.
Appearing on the Lakers’ Spectrum SportsNet broadcast alongside his son, LeBron revealed that he has a video of his wife, Savannah, playing as Bronny on NBA 2K.
“She doesn’t play video games, but she went in practice mode and played with her son,” LeBron said.
Hours later, LeBron posted a video on his Instagram story of Savannah actually shooting with Bronny.
LeBron wrote in one of the captions in the story: “only way she would choose the [controller] up.”
Interactions between father and son came in droves during the Lakers’ media day.
LeBron and Bronny posed together in their uniforms. LeBron then briefly interrupted Bronny while the rookie was being interviewed by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, joking: “Worst interview of the day right here.”
During the offseason, LeBron said that Bronny is not allowed to call him dad in the workplace. Bronny had a simple answer on Monday.
“Whatever comes out of my mouth when I try to talk to him is what he’s going to accept,” Bronny said.
The Lakers’ preseason begins Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
