LeBron James Thinks Playing With His Son, Bryce James, Is Unrealistic

LeBron James is a beast on the court, no doubt about it. But did you hear what he said about playing with his son, Bryce James? He is with his other son, Bronny James, on the Lakers, but when asked about possibly playing with Bryce in the future, he said it’s unrealistic.

Now, I get it, playing in the NBA with not one, but two of your sons would be insane. But man, can you imagine the sheer talent running in that family? It’s like a basketball dynasty in the making!

‘They’re like “Dad, continue on your dream. This is your dream. Continue on your focus. You’ve been here for us this whole time,”‘ James told The Associated Press. ‘When you have that type of support… it makes it a lot easier.’

Of course, eldest son Bronny doubles as a family member and a Lakers teammate.

Both LeBron Sr. and Jr. realized their dreams of playing alongside each other last season, with dad averaging 24.4 points and 8.2 assists a game in his 22nd season as Bronny made 27 appearances as an NBA rookie. What’s more, the younger James averaged 21.9 points a game in sporadic G League assignments.

But for all the joy of teaming with 20-year-old Bronny, LeBron considers the prospect of playing a season with 18-year-old son Bryce to be unrealistic. Even by the extraordinary standards of someone entering his 23rd season of pro ball, James admits it would be ‘insane’ to play in the 2026-27 season, when he’ll be turning 42.

‘At this point of my career, you think about when the end is. That’s human nature,’ he said. ‘You think: “Is it this year? Or next year?” Those thoughts always creep into your mind at this point of the journey.

‘But I have not given it a specific timetable, date. I’m seeing how my body and family reacts, too.’

As for his own health, James said he is feeling ‘good’ despite the ligament he sprained in April as the Lakers were being eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The focus for this summer is to rest, recuperate and work his body back into shape for an eighth season in LA.

‘I have a lot of time to take care of my injury, my knee, the rest of my body and make sure I’m as close to 100% as possible when training camp begins in late September,’ James told the AP.

Just what the rest of the Lakers will look like remains a mystery.

Who knows what the future holds for the James family, but it’s definitely exciting to think about. What a time to be a basketball fan!
