Now in his 22nd NBA season and the seventh with the\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers, James is experiencing another first for himself and the NBA with his new teammate.<\/p>\n<p>James and son\u00a0Bronny James\u00a0are the first father-son duo in league history.<\/p>\n<p>The former has found himself taken aback by the situation unfolding in real-time. It is something that he is not used to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely different in the sense of just Bronny being a part of the team now,\u201d James told Mike Golic on the \u201cGoJo and Golic\u201d podcast on September 20. \u201cI\u2019m looking at you two guys right now, I think it\u2019s one of the greatest things in the world to be able to work with your kid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week we got back into the gym, and it was really the first time that me and Bronny was basically on the floor as professionals training, going against each other, preparing for the season. And it was I had a couple moments where I kind of just \u2013 I lost focus. And I\u2019m not used to losing focus when I\u2019m out on the floor. But I was a couple times I was just looking to the side and just watching him, and watching him prepare, and watching him go after it. And it was just \u2013 it\u2019s going to be an unbelievable year for myself, and I hope for him as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James was vocal about his desire to play with his eldest son during an\u00a0interview with ESPN\u2019s Dave McMenamin\u00a0in January 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He also hinted at playing with younger son, Bryce, in an ad for Beats By Dre.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EuUXiJW2HjY?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>James walked his comments back in\u00a0another interview with McMenamin\u00a0in May.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Bronny James the Center of Attention During Offseason<\/h2>\n<p>A health scare became a lasting memory of Bronny James\u2019\u00a0lone season at USC. He went into\u00a0cardiac arrest during a practice\u00a0in July 2023. He underwent surgery to address a congenital heart defect and was cleared in November,\u00a0per ESPN\u2019s Ohm Youngmisuk.<\/p>\n<p>James also posted an underwhelming stat line with the Trojans.\u00a0Reactions to the Lakers making him the No. 55 overall pick of the 2024 draft were polarized.<\/p>\n<p>James averaged 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists during\u00a0NBA 2k25 Summer League.<\/p>\n<p>That the younger James was such a talking point speaks volumes. In addition to\u00a0LeBron James\u2019 decision to stay, the Lakers also hired his former podcast partner\u00a0J.J.
