LeBron James and his family are celebrating Bronny James’ 20th birthday on October 6, and it looks like the timing could be perfect for the James family. There’s a possibility that the LA Lakers star might share the court with his son on this milestone birthday.
LeBron took to social media to wish Bronny a happy birthday, posting a photo of the father-son duo from Lakers Media Day. He captioned it, “HBD young [king]. Love you.”
However, a video of the cake he shared stole the spotlight. The Lakers-themed cake, adorned in purple and gold, featured the iconic Lakers logo.
If LeBron and Bronny both take the court against the Phoenix Suns, it will mark a historic moment as they would be the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history.
Birthday wishes for Bronny have been pouring in, with heartfelt messages from his mother, Savannah, and grandmother, Gloria, also shared on social media.
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.
