Playing as yourself as an athlete in a video game has to be a particularly awesome experience.
Even if your rating isn’t the greatest, you’re still in the game. Most people simply will never be able to say that.
Now, imagine what it feels like to be the parent of someone who is in a video game. That has to be beyond cool. Obviously, you’re proud of your child and what they’ve managed to accomplish. But you also get to revel in that accomplishment a bit, even if it’s in just a small way.
That’s why it’s so awesome to see the look on Savannah James’ face as she practices with Bronny James on NBA 2k25. She was elated just to be shooting jump shots with him in the game.

What makes this even better is that LeBron James is in the background saying this is the only way he can get Savannah to play the game with him. To her credit, she seems to have that jump shot down.
This is hilarious. At the same time, it’s so incredibly wholesome. It’s a small moment, sure. But it’s one I’m sure the James family appreciates.
