The atmosphere at Lakers practice took a lighthearted turn as LeBron James and his son, Bronny, engaged in some friendly trash talk after a notable one-on-one moment. During a scrimmage, LeBron bragged about scoring on his rookie son, but Bronny had other thoughts. According to him, his dad stepped out of bounds.

“Alright, in all seriousness, I looked at the film and he did step out of bounds,” Bronny said with a smile. “But I’m not gonna go there. I’m not gonna go there right now.”

LeBron wasn’t about to let that slide. “What do you mean you’re not going to go there right now? You just went there!” he replied, laughing.

The playful back-and-forth continued, with Bronny standing by his claim. LeBron, on the other hand, was quick to remind his son that they didn’t have the baseline camera angle to back it up. He also took a jab at Bronny’s rookie status. “Man, you’re a rookie anyway,” LeBron quipped, recalling the moment when Bronny dribbled out of bounds and adding, “You know I got that stop.”

Bronny didn’t back down, saying, “You fouled me! You slapped my whole arm!” He then joked about the ref overlooking it, teasing that his dad might be getting some veteran privileges.

The exchange between LeBron and Bronny is a testament to their strong bond, showcasing both the competitive spirit and affection they share. As the first father-son duo to play in the NBA together, it’s moments like these that fans will cherish. The trash talk is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season for this historic pairing.
