LeBron James Hints That He’s Eyeing a Future Team-Up With His Son Bronny

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James may very well be plotting to get on the same team with his son, Bronny, when the junior James enters the NBA in the near future. LeBron was asked about his recent two-year contract extension, and gave this response.

LeBron on his 2-year extension with the Lakers;

“The best thing about it is the year I'll be a free agent will be the same year my oldest son graduates high school." 👀

“The best thing about it is the year I’ll be a free agent will be the same year my oldest son graduates high school,” LeBron said.

This would be wild if LeBron is already planning to team up with Bronny in the NBA, we don’t technically really even know if Bronny will be a top prospect by 2023.

There’s also one more hurdle to get over. The NBA and the NBAPA would have to agree to change the rule that doesn’t allow players to enter the NBA Draft straight out of high school.

LeBron James‘ contract runs through 2023 — when his son, Bronny, graduates high school and could have option to enter the NBA Draft if the league and NBPA change the high school-to-pro rule. https://t.co/6bcMLgYTVV

Nevertheless, fans are very excited about the possibility of Lebron teaming up with Bronny.

Think about it…. OKC getting draft picks to secure Bronny after high school and LeBron just resigned for 2 years so he can go wherever Bronny signs to… 😇

Let’s be real, the odds of LeBron James and Bronny being on the same NBA team remains low. However, I could definitely see that being something LeBron pursues when his Los Angeles Lakers contract expires. He’s also probably the most powerful man in the NBA. Normally, when LeBron wants his teams to do something, they do it. Will that mean he’ll actually get to play with Bronny James in the future? Time will tell.
