In what is the ultimate dream come true for LeBron James, he had his son Bronny by his side at Lakers Media Day on Monday and it was cool.
Like Dad. As a Son. 🥰

These two were really funny. Trash talking and making jokes all the time.
Earlier in the day, Bronny came to LeBron at the end of his interview with The Spectrum he went “Ew” when he turned to see James Jr.
Last week, Lakers GM Rob Pelinka shared with the media that LeBron lectured his son during practice, then talked trash to him and Bronny had the opportunity to present his side of the story.
“Okay, honestly, I watched the film and he was out of bounds,” he said. “But I won’t go there. I’m not going there right now.”
LeBron responded, “What do you mean you’re not going there right now? You just go there.”
Bronny tried to argue his point, but LeBron cheerfully replied, “Man, you’re a singer.”

The media had many questions for father and son. One of them was about Bronny meeting LeBron at games and practices.
But it looks like the Lakers rookie won’t be doing that anytime soon.
“I would like to get away from that boy.”

Then, there were just jokes in general.
Bronny: “All these questions are Dalton’s, aren’t they?”
He has his father’s sense of humor 🤣

Despite all the jokes, Bronny seems happy to be given the chance to play with his father.
“I think I’m really looking forward to training, face to face,” he said. “I think it’s a crazy feeling, training with your dad and competing at a high level. On the other side of that, going against LeBron James is like practicing every day, but I’m looking forward to it as well.”
Of course, there were also some great memes to come out of the day:
