can't call me Dad at work. LeBron James said 'If I leave the gym facility and the door closes, I can be a dad again. If you're with me in the car, or if you go home, you can be a father.'" He (Bronny) has an alternative to call me Bronn or GOAT. It's up to him how to call it. Except for my dad.
Bronny James was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 55th overall pick in this season's rookie draft.
His father, LeBron James, also re-signed with the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-year, $104 million contract that includes player options and non-trade clauses this season. I'm in my 22nd season in the NBA. Bronny James agreed to a four-year, $7.9 million contract that includes team options.
LeBron's move to qualify as an FA as a player option this season has been of keen interest. Philadelphia showed interest in recruiting LeBron, and the Los Angeles Lakers couldn't miss it.
LeBron had one special condition. He is in his twilight years as a player. It's time to retire. His final goal in his career was to play in a team with his son, Bronny.
Bronny's rookie nomination was essential to sign LeBron. Eventually, the Los Angeles Lakers named Bronny. There was controversy over his ability, but it was a loss he could take if he could stay on the team.
