The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and this goes for the NBA as well. Several father and son duos (and trios) have laced ’em throughout the history of the NBA, although no father-son duo has ever played in the same NBA game.
LeBron James and his eldest son Bronny James may change all that. LeBron has expressed interest to play in the NBA with Bronny, who is currently playing basketball at USC. If Bronny James is able to the make it to the NBA relatively soon, and if LeBron can keep defying Father Time, this might be another first in LeBron’s storied and record-breaking career.
