Will LeBron James, Bronny Become 1st Father-Son Duo In NBA? Here's What The Lakers Star Has Said

National Basketball Association (NBA) legend LeBron James has joked that he is not confident if his body will manage to keep up with the demands of the tournament long enough to play alongside his son Bronny.

Fifteen-year-old Bronny on Saturday led Sierra Canyon to a 59-56 victory over his father's former high school St Vincent-St Mary. The match took place in Ohio and LeBron Sr was seen cheering for his son from the stands.

Speaking about the chance to play alongside his son in the future in NBA, Los Angeles Lakers' small forward said, "The way my body feels right now post-game, no, absolutely not. Through the grace of God and the grace of health, we will see what happens. But at the end of the day, it's not promised my son can make it to this level. We don't even discuss that."

"We live every day by every day and [think about] how he can continue to be a great team-mate, be a positive role model to his little brother and little sister and, when he leaves the house, continue to hold the James last name with the utmost respect. Because it's not just about him – and when I leave the house, it's not just about me – it's about our family and what we've created," James added in an interview following the Lakers' 101-96 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

James Sr. had 32 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks as the Lakers extended their winning run to seven games against the Hawks and continue to remain on the top of the Western Conference with a record of 24-3.

Watching his son play for his state against his alma mater, James said its like "life has come full circle."

"It was a surreal moment, not only for myself but my family and friends were talking about it as well, how things have come full circle. Seeing my son out playing in our home state versus my alma mater, playing in front of our family and friends, everyone was telling me it was like I was back in high school all over again watching my son. It was one of the greatest moments in my life so far," the four-time NBA MVP added.
