In August this year, LeBron James spoke about how he intended to relate with his son, Bronny, on the basketball pitch. He stated, among other things, that the youngster could only call him “dad” after a game.
LeBron’s comment was for observers who wondered how the father-son relationship might be as the basketball season approaches.
“[He] cannot call me dad in the workplace…Once we leave the private facility and the gates close, I could be a dad again [and] in the car if we ride together, at home I could be a dad.
“He got to call me like ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron’ or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he wants to. It’s up to him,” LeBron was quoted in excerpts of an upcoming interaction with sports outlet, ESPN.”
The NBA superstar insisted that he will keep things professional on the pitch between him and his son Bronny.
