Cameras caught the moment when\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0met the woman who saved his son’s life.<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2023, Bronny James went into\u00a0cardiac arrest\u00a0during a workout at USC with several of his teammates.<\/p>\n
James recovered fully, and after playing one season in southern California, he was drafted by his father’s Los Angeles Lakers over the summer.<\/p>\n
Lebron introduced Erin, the woman who performed CPR on Bronny, to Lebron’s mother, who thanked Erin.<\/p>\n
“Lifesaver, literally,” James told Erin.<\/p>\n
“Shout out to the man above, one. To the whole coaching staff, training staff, members of that program. They are the reason Bronny is alive now and smiling and thriving and doing what any 19-year-old should be doing, and that’s living out their dream,” James said on camera as part of\u00a0Netflix’s “Starting 5” series.<\/p>\n
“Bronny is the first person in my family to go to college. \u2026 And to see my son playing the game that he loves at the collegiate level, but to see where he is as a young man, you’re like, \u2018Wow, it could have been, you know, so much worse for our family.\u2019”<\/p>\n

James hinted that all Bronny cared about was when he would be able to return to the floor.<\/p>\n
“It’s crazy with kids. Like, when they love and want something, that’s all that matters to them. As a parent, you’re like, you know, \u2018You had a cardiac arrest.\u2019 That’s, like, in his mind, he’s like, \u2018Can I or can I not play ball again? And if the answer is yes, when can I play ball again?\u2019 I love that,” James said.<\/p>\n
Lebron and Bronny shared the court\u00a0Monday night in a preseason game, marking the first time a father-son duo have not only played in the NBA at the same time, but have been teammates. They played about four minutes together in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s pretty cool for the both of us, and especially for our family,” LeBron said. “It\u2019s definitely a moment that I will never forget.”<\/p>\n

Had things been worse, LeBron’s career-long dream may never have come true.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen where the younger James will begin the 2024-25 regular season, but Monday night seemed like a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
