LeBron’s Legacy: Playing with Bronny, Eyeing Bryce, and Defying Time at 39

LeBron James continues to make headlines as the first NBA player in history to play alongside his son. His eldest son, Bronny James, was the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and is currently on the Los Angeles Lakers’ roster. While this milestone has been celebrated by many, there’s growing consensus that Bronny might benefit from significant development time in the G League.

Speculation also swirls about LeBron potentially extending his career long enough to play with his younger son, Bryce James, creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share the court with both sons.

Meanwhile, Bryce, a 17-year-old high school basketball standout, has begun his college recruitment process. He recently visited the University of Arizona and shared an Instagram post with the caption, “Bear Down??,” which garnered over 370,000 likes.

Among the notable commenters was NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, whose son Kiyan recently committed to Syracuse University, following in his father’s footsteps. Anthony, reflecting on Kiyan’s talents, remarked, “He has skills that I didn’t have.”

LeBron’s wife, Savannah James, playfully encouraged her husband in a Beats commercial, saying, “Tell them you’re not done until you play with your son [Bronny]. Then do that, again [with Bryce].” The possibility of LeBron achieving this remarkable feat has captivated fans worldwide.

Despite the off-court attention, LeBron’s on-court performance remains stellar. At 39, he’s averaging 22.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game while shooting over 50% from the field in 18 games this season. His enduring excellence continues to solidify his legacy as one of the game’s all-time greats.
