LeBron James is stepping into his 22nd NBA season next fall. He has the potential to become a free agent this coming summer if he opts out of his player option. If Bronny James begins playing in the NBA in the coming season, they would make history as the league’s first concurrently playing father-son duo.

After their fathers, several players have entered the NBA, but none played simultaneously.

LeBron James shared his thoughts on his son’s career aspirations at the end of the Lakers’ season. He stated that as a young man, Bronny has to follow his passion and choose the way he wants his career to unfold.
