LeBron James will be Poinbankseeing a familiar face on the basketball court.
After all, his son Bronny James—who he shares with wife Savannah James—became his Los Angeles Lakers teammate on June 27. Bronny, 19, was selected during the second round of the NBA draft, after the team chose University of Tennessee's Dalton Knecht, 23, as its first round pick.
In joining the team, Bronny and LeBron, 39, became the first father-and-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time, according to the league.
"Family business," the Lakers captioned a photo of LeBron and Bronny, with the teen adding on his Instagram Story, "Beyond blessed."
LeBron also couldn't help but to celebrate his son's milestone, sharing a Nike ad featuring a throwback photo of young Bronny playing basketball.
"Pressure was never the question," the advert read, "when passion has always been the answer."
Bronny's induction into the NBA comes nearly a year after his hospitalization for cardiac arrest. In July 2023, he experienced a medical emergency during basketball practice at the University of Southern California, leading him to be transported to the ICU.
He was released from the hospital later that month, with him returning to the basketball court in December for his USC debut. At the time, LeBron—who also shares kids Bryce James, 17, and Zhuri James, 9, with Savannah—cheered him on from the sidelines.
"I just want to say I'm thankful for everything," Bronny said during the post-game conference, giving shoutouts to "my parents and siblings for supporting me through this hard time in my life."
He added, "I just want to give appreciation to everyone who has helped me through this."
