LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers star, is gearing up for his 22nd NBA season, a historic one as he prepares to play alongside his eldest son, Bronny James. The 39-year-old athlete, who helped Team USA win Olympic gold this summer, has expressed his excitement about the prospect of sharing the court with Bronny, who was drafted by the Lakers with the 55th pick in June.
LeBron, speaking at the Lakers media day, shared how this new chapter has given him renewed energy. "It's a lot of excitement and pure joy to come to work every day, not only for me but for our family," James said. He emphasized the unique bond he shares with his son, describing how they push each other to improve, creating a positive and motivating dynamic. "It gives you a lot of life," LeBron added.
LeBron also credited his Olympic experience, where he played alongside NBA legends like Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, for reinvigorating him. He expressed how competing at the highest level in meaningful games reignited his passion for the sport, confirming he still has plenty left to give, despite his extensive career.
As LeBron approaches his 40th birthday in December, his motivation remains strong, fueled not only by his love for basketball but by the rare opportunity to play professionally with his son. The upcoming NBA season kicks off on October 22, with the Lakers facing the Minnesota Timberwolves.
