Los Angeles Lakers news: In a few month’s time, we shall finally see LeBron James share the court with his eldest son, Bronny. This will be a dream come true for the 20-time All-Star, who has always been vocal about wanting to play alongside his son.
For his part, while Bronny himself isn’t shying away from the narrative, the Lakers rookie has also revealed that being able to play with his dad hasn’t really been one of his biggest motivations.

The Lakers officially introduced Bronny on Tuesday night during a rookie press conference, along with fellow recruit Dalton Knecht. When asked to share his thoughts on playing alongside his superstar dad, Bronny got brutally honest in his response:
“I just want to come in and get my work in and get better everyday,” Bronny said. “I never really had a thought of me going to play with my dad but that’s always there to take part of. But it wasn’t a main focus of mine.”

The video panned toward LeBron at the perfect time, and you can see the Lakers superstar intently watching his son’s every word.
This could be a foreshadowing of Bronny’s life in Hollywood now that he’s on the same team as his dad. LeBron is going to be observing his son’s every move as he looks to help Bronny become the best version of himself he can be.
LeBron will just need to be wary about being too involved in all matters Bronny, though. After all, the 19-year-old will still need to find his own way in the NBA.
