LeBron James is a man who needs no introduction, especially in the NBA. King James has numerous awards and achievements to speak for his legacy. The Los Angeles Lakers star is averaging 29.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game.
The Lakers are having a season that was below the expectations of every NBA fan around the world. Their issues don’t stop here, the Lakers are in the fear of losing their star player, LeBron James during his free agency period as he wants to play with his son, Bronny James.
Brian Windhorst on the Laker’s possibility of losing LeBron James
Father-son duos in the NBA are special. LeBron James has always been supportive of his sons and showed up to their games. Bronny is already making a name for himself and is proving to be a menace. The young king is a point guard for the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers.
Bronny will graduate high school in 2023 and will look to register for the NBA draft if the NBA changes the legibility criteria. If this happens and Bronny is a top ten pick then LeBron will move to the team that picks him. However, if Bronny is a late second-round pick, many teams around the NBA will look to draft Bronny James for one simple reason: LeBron James.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, LeBron James loves Los Angeles. All his business and on-court duties and personal business are located in LA. However, King James has always been clear that he looks to play with his son no matter what.

As soon as the news about LeBron wanting to move from LA to play with Bronny broke out, Twitter exploded. Some comments were heartwarming and nice to see while some were outright funny.
Steps for the Kings to win a championship:
1. Draft Bronny James
2. Have LeBron come to Sacramento to play with Bronny
3. Draw big free agents to sign (because they want to play with LeBron)
4. 2025 NBA Champs https://t.co/d36MIppoyA— Cameron Salerno (@cameronsalerno1) February 4, 2022
Kyle Kuzma, who has been LeBron’s teammate also spoke about the situation. The Oklahoma City Thunder have been eyeing LBJ for a long time. Kyle took to Twitter to say that Sam Presti, GM of OKC would sell the farm to get LeBron and Bronny to play on the Thunder

It would be wonderful to watch LeBron James and Bronny take the stage together. If the NBA rules do not change then Bronny will get drafted only in 2024. LeBron will almost turn 40 during that time. Hopefully, King James has enough fire to play his final season with his son.
