LeBron James’ wife Savannah shared a proud moment on her Instagram on Sunday. She reposted a photo of her husband and their son Bronny warming up for a preseason game against the Golden State Warriors.
Savannah’s joy was evident as she flooded her Instagram story with purple and gold heart emojis. Her husband and son became the first father-son duo to play in the NBA, and she expressed her excitement for the two on social media.
Savannah has expressed her pride in her husband and son’s accomplishments multiple times. They first took the court together during a preseason game and are just days away from making their regular season debut.
LeBron James and Bronny set to make official father-son duo debut
After nearly eight decades, basketball fans will get to see the NBA’s first-ever active father-son duo in the 2024-25 season.
Bronny James was selected by the LA Lakers with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, pairing him up with his father, LeBron James.
Many have criticized the pick, claiming the younger James was not ready to play in the big leagues as in his only year in college, he averaged a measly 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
He had a breakout game in the Lakers’ final preseason game against the Golden State Warriors, where he posted 17 points, four rebounds and three steals. He played in six preseason games and averaged 4.1 ppg and 1.6 rpg.
Meanwhile, LeBron James remains one of the best players in the league. He will turn 40 in December, but “King James” isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Last season, he averaged 25.7 ppg, 8.3 apg, 7.3 rpg and 1.3 steals per contest.
He then competed in the 2024 Olympics, where he led Team USA to the gold medal and was crowned the men’s basketball tournament MVP.
The Lakers will begin their regular season on Oct. 22 when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves at Crypto.com Arena.
