Why LeBron James’ Son Bronny James Doesn’t “Pay Attention” to Dad’s Career Speculation

LeBron James and Bronny James

Bronny James (born LeBron James Jr. on born Oct. 6, 2004) played high school basketball for Chatsworth Sierra Canyon in the San Fernando Valley before graduating to the University of Southern California.

While the NBA schedule has often kept LeBron from being able to attend a full slate of his son’s games, he’s went to great lengths to watch Bronny in action. In fact, he once chartered a plane on an off-day to catch Sierra Canyon play against his own alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, Ohio.

“To go watch my son play…and also versus my alma mater,” LeBron told reporters, “it’s a pretty surreal, come-full-circle, unbelievable thing.”

In June 2024, Bronny was drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers, making him and LeBron the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time.
