For the first time in history, a father and son will play together in the NBA, and it is LeBron James and his son BronnyIn a month, they will meet again for the Lakers' “training camp”, and LeBron has already warned his son that between the four lines of the court, there is no more “dad”!
“No, he can’t call me Dad! We’ve already established that. He can’t call me Dad at work. Once we leave the training center and the doors close, I could be his dad again in the car if we’re riding together.”

But what should he call it? “He can call me '2-3' or 'Bron' or 'GOAT' if he wants. What I mean is, it's up to him.” LeBron laughs in an excerpt from ” The Shop” .
And what will he call his son? “It's easy for me, I've always called him Bronny. I'm not going to call him 'Hey son…'. So it's easy for me, and he's going to have to adapt.”
A few years ago, Austin Rivers talked about how difficult it was to play for his father, Doc, on the Clippers. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would make it to the NBA and play for you.”Austin had confided to his father. “I really thought we were going to play each other. So, without giving the names of the players, it wasn't the easiest situation to live through. As soon as a son finds himself in his father's locker room, it's different. As soon as I entered the locker room, when I went to training, I didn't know if my teammates were sincere or not when they spoke to me. I knew that's how it was.”
Bronny and LeBron could experience the same situations with their teammates.
