Will Bronny Call LeBron James ‘Dad’ On The Court If He Plays With Him? NBA Twitter And Reddit Pose Interesting Question


LeBron James' son Bronny has been busy preparing for the 2024 NBA Draft, where he's expected to be picked by the Los Angeles Lakers, and link up with his father. LeBron and Bronny sharing the court for the first time will likely be an unforgettable moment. After considering it though, a Reddit user recently pointed out a hilarious dilemma they'd have to face when they play together.

On the NBA subreddit, a user named 'Hopeless Moderate' asked fellow Redditors whether Bronny would call LeBron 'dad' when they are on the court. They also pondered whether the Lakers superstar would showcase his palpable frustration at Bronny when he inevitably commits an error like he does with other teammates, or show restraint.

A screenshot of the Reddit post was shared on X, formerly Twitter, and it produced a slew of interesting replies. One fan claimed that the most likely solution to the dilemma is Bronny yelling '23,' LeBron's jersey number.

Another fan said he shouldn't hesitate to call him 'dad,' regardless of how uneasy it may sound.

One fan chimed in with their experience sharing the field with their father and their solution to the dilemma.

A few others used the original post as inspiration and asked several hilarious questions, including LeBron's reaction to Bronny getting hazed and the Lakers superstar's reaction to his son calling an iso mid-game.

This discussion is entertaining but premature considering that the Lakers have neither drafted Bronny nor has LeBron committed to playing for them next season.

The four-time MVP is expected to announce that he will opt out of the final year of his deal with the franchise and sign a new multi-year contract extension that would keep him in LA until he retires. However, the announcement and the extension are yet to come through.

Lakers fans are waiting with bated breath for the veteran forward to sign the contract that would tie him to the franchise until he retires.

As far as Bronny is concerned, the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns are the only teams the young guard has worked out for ahead of the draft. LA owns the 17th and 55th pick in the draft and is expected to spend one of those on the former USC Trojan. However, there's scope for another team to beat the Lakers to the punch.

No other franchise has hinted at wanting Bronny, but things could change on draft night. There's even a small possibility that the young guard lines up against his father rather than playing alongside him in his rookie season in the NBA. Simply put, absolutely anything could happen.

Luka Dončić joins LeBron James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West as only Lakers to post 30 points and 15 assists in a game

LeBron James joined a club of one on Tuesday , while Luka Dončić joined a club of four. With 30 points and a Lakers career-high 15 assists, Luka Dončić became only the fourth player in Lakers history to post those totals in a single game in a 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The other three: James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West. We'll call that a solid group. That performance included a stretch of three straight 3-pointers to set the tone in the first quarter. It was once again the LeBron and Dončić (LeBrončić?) show, as Dončić's co-star posted 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists. Center Jaxson Hayes also had one of the best games of his Lakers career, scoring 19 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting plus 10 rebounds. Dončić was two points away from tying his Lakers career high in points as well, and likely would have gotten it had L.A. not taken its foot off the gas in the fourth quarter. After a back-and-forth first half in which the P...
