On October 6, LeBron James and his family will celebrate Bronny James' 20th birthday, and it appears that the timing could be ideal for the Jameses. It's possible that on this significant birthday, the LA Lakers player will play alongside his son.
But the highlight was a video he posted of the cake. The famous Lakers emblem was placed on the purple and gold-themed cake with a Lakers motif.
LeBron and Bronny would be the first father-son team to play together in NBA history, thus it would be a historic occasion if they both play against the Phoenix Suns.
Bronny's mother, Savannah, and grandma, Gloria, have both posted meaningful birthday wishes on social media, and the messages have been pouring in.
In their preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron and Anthony Davis sat out, while Bronny played for the first time with the Lakers. He logged 16 minutes on the court, scoring two points and showcasing his defensive skills with three blocks.
When asked about his first impression of Bronny’s performance, LeBron emphasized it was too early to make judgments. “I mean it’s the first game,” he said. “We’ve got three practices under our belt, today makes four. For Bronny and everyone, we want to keep improving. It was great to see Bronny out there.”
The Lakers are set to play their second preseason game today against the Phoenix Suns. After sitting out the first game, LeBron is ready to hit the court, and if he plays alongside Bronny, fans could witness a truly historic occasion.
