LeBron James Says Son Bronny Cannot Call Him “Dad” on the Court
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.
