In a recent development, Bronny James has taken a crucial step towards potentially realizing his aspiration of playing alongside his father, LeBron James, in the NBA.
LeBron James caught the attention of the NBA community a few days ago with his revelation regarding his nearing retirement. Despite being 39 years old, LeBron remains a formidable force, with the Los Angeles Lakers currently in peak form and aiming to topple the Denver Nuggets.
“Not very long,” LeBron remarked when asked about his future in the NBA. “I’m on the other side of the hill. I’m not going to play another 21 years. That’s for sure. Not very long. I don’t know when that door will close as far as when I retire, but I don’t have much time left.”
However, Bronny James’ decision to enroll at USC several months ago provided a significant clue to LeBron’s aspirations. In an interview with ESPN, the basketball legend hinted at his desire to share the court with his son. Many speculated that this familial bond could be a decisive factor in LeBron’s decision-making process, possibly leading to a “Last Dance” scenario for the iconic player.
“I need to be on the floor with my boy,” LeBron expressed. “I got to be on the floor with Bronny. Either in the same uniform or a matchup against him. But I would love to do the whole Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. thing. That would be ideal for sure. Being with him. Spending a full year with him in the same uniform, that would be the icing on the cake.”
With Bronny James taking steps towards his own basketball career, the possibility of a father-son duo gracing the NBA court together becomes increasingly tangible. The basketball world eagerly awaits to witness this potential historic moment unfold.
