What should Bronny James call LeBron on the court with the Lakers? Dad? Bron? A debate


It's the question we all have now that LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, are Los Angeles Lakers teammates.

What the heck should Bronny call LeBron on the court? Like, when Bronny is open beyond the arc and LeBron has the ball, does he say "Hey Dad!" or "Bron!" or … whatever? Or in practice? This has the chance to be really awkward, but for all of us, it's a fun exercise to think about.

We here at For The Win have been talking about it, and we decided to give the James Gang some help with answers. Here's what we came up with:

It's got to be "Dad"

Here's my thing about this situation: if Bronny is out there on the court and says anything, LeBron is going to know it's Bronny. A father can always pick out the voice if his kid no matter what. But if they want to make this work, they have to keep it simple so Bronny doesn't overthink anything on the court. Call him "Dad." No one's going to make fun of him for it. — Charles Curtis

"Dad," but make it cool

It's not the usual "Dad." It's got to be in a way that Bronny tries to make cool. Not the sweet kid "Dad" but the rebellious teen "Dad." You know the difference when you hear it. That said, I've never worked with my dad, but I can't imagine that if I did work with him, I'd call him "Dad" at work. That's weird. But … are they on a first-name basis as parent and child? Does Bronny just call him Two-Three?  I don't know, man. This is weird. — Mike Sykes

"Big Bron" or "Mr. James," just for the laughs

I feel like the only way for this to get even more awkward than it already is if Bronny calls LeBron "Big Bron" or "Mr. James" mid-game. The unimaginable howls I am going to let out from laughing should be studied. — Meghan Hall

It doesn't matter

I don't care what Bronny calls LeBron. What I need him to do is show up on the first day of training camp and punch his father right in the throat. Let him and the rest of the Lakers know there's a new alpha in the pack. AWOOOOOOOOOO — Christian D'Andrea

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
