Photo: LeBron James, Bronny James / Instagram   LeBron James is known for his legendary NBA career and strong values, especially when it comes to parenting. But during a recent game, he had to sit back and watch his son, Bronny James , face a classic rookie moment—without stepping in to help. Bronny, new to the Lakers, found himself in an awkward spot during a timeout. Anthony Davis , a senior team member, casually claimed the seat next to LeBron. Bronny, sitting there at the time, had to move without hesitation. The lighthearted moment had the crowd laughing, but it was also a reminder of the hierarchy rookies face, no matter their last name. LeBron stayed quiet, letting Bronny handle it on his own. It was a clear example of LeBron's ability to separate family from the professional world of basketball. On the court, Bronny isn’t just LeBron’s son—he’s a rookie teammate who has to earn his place like everyone else. Photo: LeBron James, Bronny James / Instagram   Bronny’s jour...

Photo: Anthony Davis / Instagram   Bronny James may be LeBron James 's son, but he's still getting the rookie treatment—no special favors here. During Sunday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Anthony Davis and the Lakers had some fun with Bronny. After sitting on the bench next to his father, LeBron, AD stopped in front of him and asked Bronny to stand up to make room.  The moment led to smiles all around, as Bronny did his part without a fuss. Even with LeBron sitting out due to soreness in his left foot, the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers 107–98.  Photo: Anthony Davis / Instagram   AD had an impressive game with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and five blocks. Bronny only played the final two minutes but added one block in his short time on the court.

Photo: LeBron and Bronny James / Instagram   LeBron and Bronny James made history as the first father-son duo in NBA history, and now their Opening Night jerseys have sold for $102,000 at a Sotheby’s auction.  The sale price might seem modest for such a unique piece of sports history—if you're a multi-millionaire, that is. LeBron’s jersey, worn in the Lakers' season opener and two preseason games, also made an appearance on Media Day.  Meanwhile, Bronny’s jersey has a twist. While Sotheby’s says it was worn during the second half of the game against Minnesota, photos suggest he never left his warmups. However, it was confirmed he wore it during Media Day and other preseason events. Photo: LeBron and Bronny James / Instagram   The jerseys mark a significant moment: LeBron, at 39, sharing the court with his son in an NBA game. For Bronny, it was a special comeback after recovering from cardiac arrest just a year ago. Given their historic value and the milestone the...

Photo: Bronny James / Instagram   The Los Angeles Lakers, known for their legendary players and rich history, have made headlines again. This time, it’s not because of LeBron James, but his son, Bronny James . Bronny, who recently joined the Lakers, has already made history—but not for his basketball skills just yet. Bronny and LeBron became the first father-son duo to play for the same NBA team. While Bronny’s time on the court is just beginning, he’s breaking records off the court. His jersey sales have skyrocketed , setting a new Lakers record that even the biggest stars couldn’t reach. After Bronny’s draft, over 500,000 of his jerseys sold, each priced at around $100. That’s over $50 million in revenue—an achievement that eclipses even LeBron’s jersey sales. Lakers owner Jeanie Buss is surely thrilled, as Bronny’s popularity is boosting the team’s finances in a big way. Photo: Bronny James / Instagram   The excitement around Bronny isn’t just with fans. Former NBA player...

Photo: LeBron and Bronny James / Instagram   LeBron James has been planning to share the court with his son, Bronny , for years. Back in December 2020, the Los Angeles Lakers star hinted at the possibility during a media interview. LeBron, known as "King James," revealed how his career plans could align with Bronny's basketball journey. At the time, Bronny was 16 and on track to graduate high school in 2023. "The year I'll be a free agent will be the same year my oldest son graduates high school," LeBron said. "So I'll have some options: spending more time with my family, being around my son, or continuing to play the game I love. We'll see." Photo: LeBron and Bronny James / Instagram   LeBron's comments suggested he was thinking about the end of his career and how it could connect to Bronny’s start. In December 2020, LeBron signed a two-year contract extension with the Lakers. This deal meant he would be a free agent after the 2022-23...

Photo: Bronny and LeBron James / Instagram   LeBron and Bronny James made history on October 22, becoming the first father and son to play in an NBA game together. Now, the jerseys they wore during that historic game are being sold at auction. The two jerseys, both from the Los Angeles Lakers, are available through a partnership between the NBA and Sotheby’s. The auction started on Thursday, and by Thursday evening, bids had already reached $70,000. LeBron's jersey has been matched to the Lakers' 110-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he played 34 minutes, scoring 16 points, with five rebounds and four assists. The jersey was also linked to two preseason games and the NBA media day. Photo: Bronny and LeBron James / Instagram Sotheby’s says Bronny’s jersey was worn in the second half of the game, but it could not be verified with photos because he was often seen wearing a warm-up jacket. However, the jersey was matched to four preseason games and NBA media day...

Photo: LeBron James / Instagram   LeBron James has decided to take a break from social media, citing the "negative takes" online.  The NBA star made the announcement after responding to a post by Kevin Durant ’s manager, Rich Kleiman, about the negativity in sports coverage. Kleiman wrote that sports should bring people together, but instead, many discussions have become about clickbait and negativity. LeBron agreed, posting "AMEN" before adding, “And with that said, I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care.” Photo: LeBron James / Instagram   Recently, there has been criticism about LeBron's son, Bronny James , and the way he's being treated in the G League . Bronny, 20, has been allowed to only play home games for the Lakers' G League team. He made his debut on Nov. 9 against the Salt Lake City Stars. And with that said I’ll holla at y’all!

James recently played his first game with the South Bay Lakers, scoring six points, grabbing three rebounds, dishing out four assists, and making two steals and a block.

"I was just playing basketball." South Bay Lakers head coach Zach Guthrie was impressed by James, saying, "He did a great job. He played unselfishly and within the flow of the game."

Photo: J.R. Smith, Bronny James (Instagram) The Los Angeles Lakers faced a tough night on Wednesday, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers 134-110 in Ohio. But one bright spot in the game was Lakers rookie Bronny James , who scored his first NBA points .  Bronny, the 20-year-old son of superstar LeBron James , put up two points, two assists, and one steal, shooting 1/2 from the field in just five minutes. After the game, former NBA champion J.R. Smith shared his thoughts on Bronny.  Smith, who won titles with LeBron on both the Cavaliers and Lakers, praised Bronny for being down-to-earth. “You hear about a lot of kids with famous parents who can be arrogant, but Bronny is the complete opposite,” Smith said. “He’s really grateful for this chance.” Photo: J.R.

Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) Bronny James had his first NBA game in his hometown, Cleveland, but it didn’t go quite as hoped for the Los Angeles Lakers. They lost 134-110 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking their second loss in a row. In the final minutes of the game, with Cleveland already leading by a lot, Bronny scored his first NBA points with a 15-foot jump shot. To remember this big moment, he took the net from the rim where he scored his first basket. However, not everyone was impressed. Many fans on social media joked about the special treatment Bronny seemed to receive. Some wondered if any other rookie would get to take home a net after their first basket. Others thought it was just because he’s LeBron James’ son, with some calling it "special treatment." Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) Despite the criticism, it’s clear that Cleveland fans have a soft spot for Bronny, as many of them remember him from when LeBron first played for the Cavaliers.

Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) Bronny James , the son of NBA legend LeBron James , scored his first points in the NBA on Wednesday, thrilling fans in Cleveland. Just over two minutes before the end of the game, Bronny hit a step-back jumper, sending the crowd into cheers, especially since Cleveland is the hometown of both Bronny and his dad. The Cleveland Cavaliers fans chanted, "We want Bronny!" hoping to see him on the court as the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Cavaliers. Lakers coach JJ Reddick finally put Bronny in during the fourth quarter, giving fans the moment they wanted. Although the Cavaliers comfortably won the game 134-110, the spotlight was on Bronny. Bronny’s basket came 21 years and one day after LeBron’s first NBA points. The moment felt special for both father and son, who made NBA history as the first father-son duo to play in the league together. LeBron, who led the Cavaliers to their only NBA title in 2016, was proud of his son’s calmness in a ...

Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) Tension is building on the Lakers team. LeBron James , usually known for staying calm and leading his team, let his frustration show in a recent game against the Sacramento Kings. In the game, James had an impressive performance with 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. But at a key moment, he didn’t get the ball from teammate Rui Hachimura , and he made his feelings clear.  Cameras caught LeBron shouting at Hachimura, sending a strong message that every decision on the court matters. This tense moment may go beyond the game.  Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) LeBron is dealing with changes involving his son, Bronny James. The Lakers are reportedly planning for Bronny to split time between the main Lakers team and the G League's South Bay Lakers. This setup would give Bronny a chance to develop away from the big spotlight, something LeBron might see as a mixed blessing. While LeBron supports his son’s growth , having Bronny play in the minor l...

Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) LeBron James has given his support to his son, Bronny James , moving to the NBA's G League to help him develop his game. Bronny, who was the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has faced tough criticism, with some calling him the "worst pick of the season." Struggling to find his rhythm, many believe the G League could help him build confidence and improve his skills. To help with this, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided that Bronny will split time between the main Lakers team and their G League team, the South Bay Lakers. This will allow him to work on his game in a lower-pressure setting while still gaining valuable experience. What surprised many was LeBron's strong approval of this plan. ESPN reported that Bronny will travel with the Lakers for their upcoming five-game road trip, and afterward, he’ll go back and forth between the NBA and G League. LeBron believes this approach could be key to Bronny’s growth in the league. Photo: Le...

Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) Bronny James , rookie for the Los Angeles Lakers, is expected to travel with the team until November 6. After that, he’ll start moving between the Lakers and their G League team , the South Bay Lakers. However, according to Lakers coach JJ Redick , this plan could change based on how things go. The Lakers kicked off their season with a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking the first NBA game with LeBron James and Bronny playing together as a father-son duo . Their next games are against the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, and other teams across the country. Redick, along with Lakers’ general manager Rob Pelinka and LeBron, has supported Bronny splitting time between the main team and the G League for his development. LeBron recently shared his excitement for Bronny’s growth as a player, whether he’s with the Lakers or their G League team.

Photo: Bronny James, LeBron James (Instagram) LeBron James and his son Bronny have been hit with a lawsuit over a car accident that allegedly happened in November 2022, just before their historic NBA game. According to court documents, the accident occurred on November 13, 2022, in Littlerock, California. Kiara McGillen and April Almanza Lopez filed the lawsuit, claiming that LeBron, 39, and Bronny, 20, were responsible for the crash. The two women say they had to cover medical bills, vehicle repairs, and lost wages due to the accident.  They also allege their car was damaged beyond use. The next court hearing is scheduled for February 19, 2025.

Photo: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant (Instagram) LeBron James made history on Tuesday night, but not in a way he might have wanted. During the Lakers' 110-103 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron set a record for the most missed shots in NBA history. He passed Kobe Bryant 's record of 14,481 missed shots, making LeBron the all-time leader with 14,482 missed field goals. The moment happened in the third quarter when LeBron missed a layup. Though it's not a record most players aim for, it shows how long and active LeBron has been in the NBA. To miss that many shots, a player has to take a lot of them, and LeBron has been a top scorer for 22 seasons. LeBron wasn’t the only James making news that night. His son, Bronny James , made his debut for the Lakers. LeBron gave Bronny some advice before he checked into the game: "Just play carefree. Don’t worry about mistakes." The two shared a special moment on the court, becoming the first father-son duo to play toge...

Photo: Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley (Instagram) On Oct. 22, Bronny James made NBA history by playing alongside his father, LeBron James , in the Los Angeles Lakers' season opener. It was the first time a father and son played together in the league. However, basketball legends Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley believe Bronny still needs time to grow. On Inside the NBA , both agreed that Bronny should focus on improving his game. Before the game, Barkley, 61, spoke about Bronny’s health after his cardiac arrest in 2023. Though Bronny is now healthy, Barkley said he doesn’t think Bronny is ready for the NBA . "He should be in the G League," Barkley said, noting that Bronny's best skill is defense, but he's not yet a solid point or shooting guard. Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) Bronny's debut was brief, playing just three minutes. He missed two shots but grabbed a rebound. After the game, Shaq, 52, said it was a proud moment for the James fa...

Photo: LeBron James, Bronny James (Instagram) When Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick decides to put LeBron James and his son Bronny James on the court together, NBA history will be made. It could happen in their season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves or later in the season. For LeBron, who's starting his 22nd season, while his son begins his first, the exact timing doesn't matter. “Whenever it happens, it will happen," LeBron said. He’s enjoyed guiding Bronny through practices and helping him adjust to the life of a professional athlete. LeBron, 39, took a moment to reflect on the challenges his 20-year-old son faced. In July 2023, Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during a workout while preparing for his freshman year at USC. Despite that scare, Bronny pushed through and is now on the verge of making his NBA debut.
