LeBron James apparently no longer cares about playing on the same team as his son, Bronny James, according to his agent.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has indicated on several occasions that playing with his oldest son is his dream, but now that Bronny’s on the verge of entering the pros, his father might not be all that keen on it anymore.
Said agent, Rich Paul, also one of LeBron’s closest friends, spoke to ESPN this Wednesday and revealed the 39-year-old doesn’t feel the same way about teaming up with Bronny in the NBA.
He also revealed that LBJ would not sign with the Phoenix Suns on a minimum deal even if they draft the former USC guard.
“LeBron is off this idea of having to play with Bronny,” Paul said. “If he does, he does. But if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. There’s no deal made that it’s guaranteed that if the Lakers draft Bronny at 55, he (LeBron) will re-sign.
“If that was the case, I would force them to take him at 17. We don’t need leverage. The Lakers can draft Bronny, and LeBron doesn’t (re-sign). LeBron is also not going to Phoenix for a minimum deal. We can squash that now.”

LeBron James’ Future Isn’t Dependent On Where Bronny Goes
Some analysts believe Bronny James will go undrafted this year, but the guard has attracted interest from multiple NBA teams. It was reported that he had received 10 workout offers but spurned all of them, save the ones from the Lakers and Suns.
The 19-year-old is likely to be a second-round pick, but LeBron James is now said to be of a different mindset and will not let the draft, particularly where his son ends up, influence his decision in free agency.
Of course, Rich Paul could be blowing smoke as he could already be fully aware of the Lakers’ plans. Let’s wait and see.
Judge Rules Tyreek Hill Is The Father Of Little Girl With Fourth Baby Mama, Giving Him 12 Children Just Weeks After His Wife’s Pregnancy Announcement

Tyreek Hill is welcoming another member to his growing family.
This week, the Daily Mail reported that a Florida court declared the Miami Dolphins star wide receiver the father of a little girl, bringing his total to possibly four different baby mamas and over ten children.
Kimberly Kaylee Baker, 30, filed the paternity suit after her daughter was born in May 2023. She claimed the child was conceived after hooking up with Hill back in August 2022. Baker says Hill had been giving her $2,000 per month to support the child, but claims she requires $10,000 to properly care for her daughter.
Hill did not contest the results of the DNA test. Instead, his legal team argued that Baker, who resides in California, had no right to file the petition in Florida, where Hill currently lives.
His wellness influencer wife, Keeta Vaccaro, announced in May that she was expecting after she posted a picture of an ultrasound. Hill and Vaccaro have had their share of problems, with the couple filing for divorce earlier this year just to reconcile.
