James reacts to his son's highlights

As a parent, James has always watched his son from the stands. He took to Twitter to react to a post that had videos of his son's best plays and he was proud of his firstborn.

"He's SIMPLY a GREAT ALL-AROUND PLAYER but most importantly The GREATEST KID EVER!!! Oh and he's a PRO too!"

Given his father is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, Bronny will have a lot to live up to if he gets into the NBA. However, there's nothing more inspirational than having your father mentor you, per the Athletic.

James will be around 40 years when his son is eligible to turn pro. Furthermore, the Lakers superstar has not shown signs of slowing down. He's averaging 29.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7 assists per game this season.

James wants to play with Bronny

Sports Brief earlier reported on James expressing his dream to play with his son when he joins the NBA.

Bronny is not eligible to play in the NBA until the 2024/25 season under the rules of the current collective bargaining agreement. He added that his son will have to work hard to make it to the NBA.

Waiting for his son to play with him in the NBA, would require the four-time champion to continue playing until his 22nd NBA season, which would tie Vince Carter for the most in league history.
