[Saba Sports News] Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James kept it simple on Media Day with just two words, “Pure Joy.”
He shared this on Instagram, alongside a video of him and his son Bronny, who were together in their Lakers uniforms. This marks the first time a father-son duo has appeared on the same NBA roster.
With the NBA season approaching, there’s speculation about how much longer LeBron will play, and whether this could be his last season. The Lakers drafted Bronny in 2024 after he played one season at USC.
Media Day gave the pair a chance to answer questions, with Bronny admitting he hasn’t decided what to call his dad on the court, though “Bron” seems the easiest option.
The two are poised for a historic season, aiming to become the first father-son duo to win a title together. Under new head coach JJ Redick, the Lakers are looking to bounce back after last season’s struggles, including an early playoff exit to the Denver Nuggets.
Lakers fans are eager to see how LeBron and Bronny perform as the season kicks off, with preseason starting October 4 and the regular season opener against Minnesota on October 22.
