It’s no surprise that Bronny James looks up to his father more than any other athlete in the world.

During his time working media for the USC Tigers, the question of who Bronny James’s favorite player of all time was posed to him. Following a brief period of reflection during which he considered his response, Bronny confidently took his father’s name and announced that LeBron James was his favorite player of all time.

It’s possible that a lot of people will think it’s silly, but it’s undeniable that kids look up to their dads as heroes. In the same way that millions of other people around the world looked up to LeBron as their hero, Bronny saw LeBron as the person who he should model himself after. It is only natural that Bronny would pick up some of his father’s competitiveness and work ethic as he embarks on his own path in the sport of basketball.

When you pose a question like this, especially to Bronny, there aren’t many better options available than LeBron that come to mind before you. His doting father has done everything in his power to support him in realizing his ambition of playing basketball in the NBA. Bronny experienced a significant setback this summer when he suffered a heart arrest; nonetheless, he plans to continue working hard in order to maintain his trajectory toward entering the 2024 NBA Draft.

Will Bronson James and his younger brother Bronny James Play Together in the NBA?

In the past few years, it has been abundantly evident that LeBron is elongating his career in order to play with Bronny in the National Basketball Association. LeBron James’ current contract includes a player option for the following season, which means that he will be able to depart the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of this season and, most likely, sign with the team that selects Brandon Ingram in the upcoming draft.

James has made no secret of the fact that he longs to play alongside Bronny and has expressed this wish on multiple occasions in the past. When he indicated that he wouldn’t mind playing against Bronny in the NBA as long as they get to share the court, he had also tried to back off the statement that he had made earlier. Because he did say that playing alongside Bronny would be the icing on the cake, it is obvious that he is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to do so.

The Los Angeles Lakers are also keeping a close eye on the situation since they do not want their franchise player to move in the summer in order to sign a minimal contract with a rival team because the Lakers drafted Brnny. According to a recent story by The Athletic, the Los Angeles Lakers are already working on a strategy to sign Bronson while also attempting to keep LeBron in the purple and gold.

James may become a free agent in the summer of 2019 if he decides against exercising a player option worth $51 million. The severe health problem that struck his son Bronny during the course of the summer, which may have prevented him from participating in the NBA Draft and could be the single most important factor affecting James’s ability to make free agent decisions. Even if Bronny gets selected in the draft (he plans to play at some point this season as a freshman for USC), most observers believe the Lakers would find a way to make sure it happens in Los Angeles. “He would want to be able to play on the same team as his son if it were possible, and he would hope that it would be the Lakers.

The summer of 2024 is going to be a very interesting time since the next generation of the James family will be entering the NBA at that time. This might perhaps pave the way for the first father-son tandem in the history of the NBA to be playing in the league at the same time.
