When the Lakers start their regular season in a couple months against the Timberwolves, there’s a decent chance that LeBron and his son Bronny will share the court together.
It’s long been a goal of LeBron’s to play alongside his son. And given all the thought leading up to that moment, you best believe that LeBron had the whole workplace dynamic sorted out. That even includes how Bronny will address his father while they are on the court together or at the Lakers facility.
It’s already been settled: Under no circumstances can Bronny call LeBron “Dad” when they are playing together.
Is @KingJames cool with Bronny calling him “Dad” on the court? 👀🏀#TheShop Live From Paris premieres this Thursday, 8/29 on our YouTube channel!

In a preview for an upcoming episode of The Shop, LeBron was asked about what Bronny was going to call him. And in hilarious fashion, LeBron said that they already addressed it.
LeBron said:
“No, he can’t. We already laid that down. He cannot call me, ‘Dad,’ in the workplace. Once we leave out of the practice facility and the gates close, I could be dad again. In the car, we ride together. At home, I could be ‘Dad.’ No, he gotta call me like ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron.’ Or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he wants to. It’s up to him!”
He did have a point, though. It would be so silly to hear Bronny calling for the ball by shouting, “Dad! I’m open!”
LeBron really did think it all through.
