Shown as one of the biggest stars in NBA history, LeBron James wants to go down in history as the first person in NBA history to play an NBA jersey with his son in the same season.
LeBron James is expected to sign a new contract with his team, the Los Angeles Lakers, in the coming days.
James has options to sign a contract with 1 plus 1 or 1 plus 2 years options.
Although the Lakers management wants to keep James on the roster for 3 more years and shape the team around the star basketball player, according to the American press, James has a different priority.
He wants to play with his son
LeBron James’ son, Bronny James, plays in the American High School Basketball league. 17-year-old Bronny James is seen by many as even more talented than his father. Bronny James is expected to join the NBA draft next year. If Bronny James is drafted, LeBron James will make history as the first player in NBA history to play basketball with his son in the same season. But that’s not enough for LeBron James either. The legendary name of basketball announced that it was his priority to play in the same team with his son.
Whichever team drafts Bronny will be transferred to that team.
This will be the most important criterion in James’ contract renewal process. The American media announced that LeBron James will sign a contract with a team that will agree to draft his son in 2023. According to the news on the site called Bleacher Report, if the Lakers Bronny agrees to add James to their staff, LeBron James can sign a 3-year contract with the Lakers with an option. If father and son play for the same team in 2023, they will break new ground in the NBA and go down in history. LeBron James will turn 39 in 2023.
