In an unprecedented move, the Los Angeles Lakers have drafted Bronny James, son of legendary player LeBron James, in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. With a guaranteed contract in hand, Bronny's entry into the league opens up the possibility of a groundbreaking father-son duo taking the court together.

During a recent appearance on "The Shop," LeBron Sr. was asked about an intriguing aspect of their potential partnership on the court - what Bronny should call his father during the game. LeBron Sr. humorously expressed that the familiar term "Dad" doesn't quite fit the workplace atmosphere.

"He can't be running down the court like, 'Dad, I'm open!'" LeBron Sr. said with a smile. The older James went on to suggest a few alternatives, such as being referred to as "2-3," in reference to his jersey number, "Bron," a shortened version of his name, or even "GOAT" if Bronny truly believes it.

LeBron Sr.'s playful response has resonated with fans, sparking discussions about how the dynamic between the two would be on the court. As a self-proclaimed Michael Jordan fan, LeBron Sr. himself approves of the nickname "2-3" as a fitting moniker for him while at work.

This unique aspect of their growing father-son relationship adds another layer of intrigue to what promises to be a historic season. Six years ago, discussions about LeBron being a corny basketball dad were aplenty, but he has continued to prove himself as an elite player while Bronny has grown into a talented player in his own right.

The anticipation surrounding the LeBron-Bronny storyline has been intense, with media attention reaching a saturation point. However, underneath all the hype lies a genuinely remarkable situation. At 40 years old, LeBron Sr. remains one of the best American-born basketball players, as he showcased in the recent Paris Olympics. Bronny, who turns 20 in October, is keen on proving that he belongs solely on his own merits.

If LeBron can approach this season with the same lightheartedness he exhibited in answering the question about what his son should call him on the court, the James family will undoubtedly provide fans with countless memorable moments. The upcoming NBA season holds the potential for a heartwarming tale, devoid of media distractions, as LeBron Sr. and Bronny forge their own paths and make NBA history together.

As the eagerly anticipated season approaches, we can't help but be excited about witnessing the unique bond between LeBron Sr. and Bronny unfold on the basketball court.
