Top basketball star LeBron James has described playing an NBA game on the same pitch with his son, Bronny, as a big achievement.
“When it comes to the titles, that’s one separate thing,” LeBron said. “But to be able to play in this league and also being able to do it alongside Bronny right now, that’s one of the biggest accomplishments and probably the No. 1 accomplishment I’ve ever been able to do,” he stated on the New Heights podcast on Wednesday, January 15.

“…It helps me get some of the minutes and hours and years back that I did not have with him because I was playing so much and, on the road, and doing my own thing, and traveling,” he added.
LeBron James also praised Bronny for being “the most chill, easy, fun kid in the world.” He was again impressed with his son’s decision to still play basketball despite suffering a cardiac arrest in July 2023, during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California.
“Bronny doesn’t have to play basketball at all…but he’s like, ‘this is my career. This is my goal and these are my aspirations, and I wanna play ball. This is something that I love…I love that kid. He’s awesome,” the proud father added.
