LeBron James wants to play basketball with his children, both of whom are destined to be drafted into the NBA: his son Bronny Jr., who will play for USC in the fall, and his second son Bryce, who will lead his own high school basketball team, but at Campbell Hall School in Studio City rather than Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, Calif.

In a mock 2024-2025 draft produced by ESPN that suggested that Bronny might get

drafted to the Atlanta Hawks, LeBron, who currently is playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, has put up a $51,408,000 player option for e same season Bronny is more likely to get immediately drafted to follow him into the league.

On LeBron’s Instagram Stories, the billionaire power forward wrote in response to the mock draft that he and his son would form a #JamesGang.

“#JamesGang will be pulling up!” LeBron wrote.

LeBron has frequently voiced his love and support for Bronny, and he has been an active participant in his basketball growth.

LeBron has been observed at Bronny’s games, cheering him on from the sidelines and giving him tips.

Their relationship extends beyond basketball, with LeBron frequently posting personal moments and experiences with his child on social media.

LeBron has spoken about the need to be a positive role model for his children as a father and professional player.

He has expressed a desire to instill in his children, especially Bronny, the qualities of hard work, dedication and perseverance. Bronny, who is the most valuable sponsor in college sports according to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) ratings, has developed as a basketball player and as an individual, and it is believed LeBron’s involvement and guidance aided him.

The NIL Rankings, reported annually, determine the projected annual value of high school and college athletes by measuring student-athletes on their Brand Value Index and Roster Value Index.  

Bronny has a net worth of $10 million and a NIL rating of $7.2 million.
