Having become the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA during Opening Night of the 2024-25 season, LeBron James and his son Bronny are expected to make another joint appearance on the courts this evening. And for good reason, the Lakers are moving to Cleveland, Ohio, the birthplace of King and Prince James.
New historic moment coming this Wednesday, from midnight.
During the Cavaliers – Lakers match at the Rocket Mortgage FiledHouse in Cleveland, LeBron James and Bronny will most likely walk the floor together, if we are to believe Anthony Irwin of ClutchPoints. That hasn’t happened since the season opener against the Wolves in Los Angeles, with Bronny not playing in the Lakers’ last three outings. But obviously, this trip to Ohio is not a match like any other.
Ohio is of course the native state of LeBron (December 30, 1984 in Akron) and Bronny (October 6, 2004 in Akron), and it is in Cleveland that the King wrote a large part of his legend (11 seasons, 2 MVP titles, 5 NBA Finals, 1 championship title in 2016).

LeBron James has experienced almost everything in his legendary career, but this moment with his son – in Cleveland – will inevitably be unique. The King still remembers the years when Bronny was just a kid and frolicking on the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena (the name of the venue at the time), before or after matches.
“It will be a special moment. He (Bronny) was born in Northeast Ohio, so am I, obviously we have a lot of ties to that place. It will be special to be there with him and experience this moment. There are a lot of videos where you see him (when he was little) running on the floor after games, playing basketball, taking shots. It will be really cool.” –LeBron James
We imagine that the moment will be very brief, LeBron and Bronny only playing three minutes together against the Wolves in the first game of the season. But regardless, it will have immense symbolism given the links that the James family has with Ohio. Emotion guaranteed!
Lots of emotion and a moment that will have to be appreciated, because then Bronny James should leave for the G League to develop with the South Bay Lakers.
