Imagine hearing “Dad, pass me the ball” while watching an NBA game. That would be quite wild, but no worries because LeBron James is not letting that happen. In case you did not know, James’ son, Bronny, was signed to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this year and is now a teammate of his dad.

For the longest, people speculated would LeBron make it to be able to play alongside his son. Well, the time is almost here. This season, LeBron and Bronny James will be suiting up for the same team this NBA season. Recently, LeBron made it clear that his main rule is that Bronny will NOT be allowed to call his Dad while they are at work.

LeBron James on Bronny Calling Him “Dad”

During a sneak peek of a new episode of the podcast, Uninterrupted’s “The Shop” Lebron says, “Once we leave out the private facility and the gates close, I could be dad again, in the car if we ride together, at home I could be dad.” He made it clear that being called Dad while on the court would just not be normal, so he’s not having it. “We cannot be running down the court, and he’d be like, ‘Dad, push the ball up! Dad, I’m open! Dad, come on!'” said LeBron in the viral clip.

LeBron did give a few suggestions on what his son can call him while they are at work. ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron’ when he and Bronny share the court — “Or, you know, GOAT, if he wants to, it’s up to him,” says James.

The next season of the NBA begins on October 22 and while this is Bronny’s first season, it will be LeBron’s 21st season in the league. We’re excited to see what this next season will come with, especially knowing that they may be on the court together.

LeBron has made it clear in many interviews since his son joined the Lakers that this will be the biggest accomplishment for him. Being able to play alongside your son I am sure is one of the coolest things to experience. We’re excited to see what Bronny will bring to the NBA.

Ranking the Top NBA Superstars Today

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and it’s been one of the most exciting playoffs in recent years. Many of the top NBA superstars today are in the playoffs, while others are watching, following some upset losses. Either way, there’s no denying that the NBA has a ton of talent right now. So many of the games have come down to the wire, which makes for some pretty incredible, and stressful, endings. So, who are the top NBA superstars of the minute?

The Top NBA Superstars Today

Before we get into the top NBA superstars today, let’s do some NBA history and look at the top players of all time. There’s a reason they call LeBron James the GOAT. He’s the best ever, according to the raw statistics and numbers via NBA.com. James knows how to really handle the pressure and fame.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, James went into detail about his fame and how it has impacted his life, both personal and professional. “I don’t want to say it ever becomes too much, but there are times when I wish I could do normal things,” he said. â€œI wish I could go to Target sometimes and walk into Starbucks and have my name on the cup just like regular people.” He obviously can’t do that without everyone rushing to meet the greatest basketball player of all time. NBA experts know that when you have a superstar as big as James, he never plays an away game. No matter what city he’s in, people will go to that game just to see him. I have yet to see the GOAT in action, so I hope he returns next year, so I can catch him live.

No. 2 on the list of the greatest NBA players of all time, according to the NBA’s stats, is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He played until he was 42 in an era where that was even more rare than it is today. So, how did he avoid burning out? Speaking with the Harvard Business Review, Abdul-Jabbar said, “I just thought that I had the greatest job in the world, and I wanted to keep it as long as I could. I knew it wouldn’t last forever.” He also noted that in one of his books, he quoted Jackie Robinson saying, “Athletes die twice,” because when you’re no longer playing professional sports, it’s a kind of a death. That’s deep.

Now, let’s get into the top NBA superstars today.
