LeBron James recently expressed his intention to play professional basketball with his son, Bronny James, before he retires from the NBA. In an interview with The Athletic, LeBron stated that his last year in the NBA would be played alongside his son, regardless of the team or the financial aspects. He emphasized the importance of being able to share the court with his son for one season.
LeBron, who is currently in his 19th NBA season, has had a successful career, winning four championships with different teams. He won two titles with the Miami Heat, one with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and one with the Los Angeles Lakers. He also mentioned that he has not ruled out a possible return to the Cavaliers, where he won his third NBA title in 2016.
LeBron’s son, Bronny, is currently a high school basketball player enrolled at the Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles. He has expressed interest in playing college basketball and has received scholarship offers from schools like Kentucky. As per the NBA’s current rules, Bronny will be eligible for the NBA draft in two years, when he turns 19 and completes at least one year after high school graduation.
The NBA’s “one and done” policy, which requires players to spend one year after high school before entering the draft, has been a topic of discussion. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has expressed a desire to change this policy, but it requires negotiations with the players’ association and is expected to take some time to implement.
LeBron James’ desire to play alongside his son reflects his strong bond with his family and his passion for the game of basketball. It remŠ°ins to be seen where Bronny will play college basketball and how his career will progress in the coming years.
