LeBron James recently hit the headlines for his retirement rumours but amidst these developments, the 40-year-old has exhibited his affection for his son Bronny James, who turned 21 on October 6. LeBron and his spouse Savannah James had their first child in 2004. James was only 19 then. Currently, Bronny is a professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 2024, the youngster was picked up by the Lakers in the second round of the NBA draft. In the history of the NBA, LeBron and Bronny are the first and only active father-son duo.
In the clip posted by LeBron, young Bronny can be seen practicing basketball with his younger brother Bryce James. LeBron captioned the post, “Man o man where

To be able to witness it throughout your journey has been nothing short of amazing! Can’t believe you’re 21 years old man! A Young MAN!! Keep inspiring, keep leading the next generation and most important keep being YOU!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRONNY! LOVE YOU MAN!!”
