Bronny can’t call himself ‘daddy’ on the field

LeBron James said it was his dream to play in the NBA with his son Bronny.

Whether or not that was Bronny’s dream, it’s happening this season. LeBron says there’s already one rule: no calling him “dad” at work. From The Show show taped in Paris during the Olympics.

“No, we’ve already set that up. You can’t call me ‘Dad’ on the work floor. Once we leave the private facility and the gates close, I can be ‘Dad’ again. In the car, when we’re riding together, at home, I can be ‘Dad’… No, he can call me ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron,'” he said. “Or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he wants to. It’s up to him.”

You know Bronny is going to make a mistake at some point. He’s going to call for the ball in a scrimmage and instinctively yell “Dad” before he can catch himself. Let’s hope that tape gets leaked because it’s going to be classic.

Bronny will be splitting his time this season between the Lakers and their G-League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers (likely with a heavy emphasis on the G-League; Bronny has potential but still has a lot of work to do to become an NBA rotation player). However, the Lakers and their G-League team share the same training facility, so they’ll be around each other a lot.
