LeBron James could well play with his second son, Bryce James! No matter how absurd the prospect might look, there are indeed rumors going around of the same in the NBA. And much to the surprise of everyone, none other than King James himself seems to be interested in the prospect. Well, it all began when James’ former teammate, Tristan Thompson, proposed the wild idea.
Ahead of their latest game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Thompson praised James’s recent form. He said that, given his current playing style, he would probably keep up with the same pace for four to five more seasons in the future. That would provide the four-time NBA champion with the perfect opportunity to share the court with Bryce James.
Reacting to the news, King James seemed quite overwhelmed as he said to Cleveland.com, “Oh s—,” he said while laughing when cleveland.com brought up Thompson’s comments. “Bryce is a senior. I don’t know. We’ll see. We’ll see. That would be pretty cool. It’s all about my mind and then seeing how my body reacts over these next couple of years.”
LeBron James isn’t ruling out one day playing in the NBA with two sons 👀

Well, as a matter of fact, James already had a proud moment of playing with his son, Bronny James. In the Lakers’ opening match against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bronny James came onto the court for a brief moment, marking the first instance of a father-son duo in the NBA. Meanwhile, as the Lakers’ outfit looks to bounce back, there is an interesting stat that must heighten the fans’ hopes.
The LeBron James Myth Keeps The Los Angeles Lakers In Hunt
The Los Angeles Lakers started off their campaign in a blazing manner. Having won 3 games back to back, the Lakers were threatening to take the game away from their opponents. Unfortunately, their merry joyride came to a screeching halt against the Phoenix Suns. And now, having lost to the Cavaliers, the Purple and Gold Brigade are back to their drawing boards. But amidst all the dark clouds, there is silver lighting too.
The Lakers are 2-0 to start the season.

According to a stat in the NBA, LeBron James has reached the NBA finals every time his team has gone 2-0 up in the season. The Lakers have already fulfilled the criteria, and now they will look to double down on it. With the likes of Anthony Davis and LeBron James showing decent form, it remains to be seen how the Lakers can bounce back in the future.

The Niners enjoyed a 30-24 win over Dallas in the ‘SNF’ fixture. Quarterback Brock Purdy had a stellar game, completing 18 of 26 passing attempts for 260 yards and a touchdown while showing some surprising athleticism as a scrambler.
Bosa also had an impressive outing as he made life pretty difficult for the Cowboys offensive line, also making three tackles, a sack, and two QB hits.
After the game, he popped up behind Purdy while the QB was being interviewed and pointed to his “Make America Great Again” hat before running toward the locker room.
