Off the court, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James will always be a father to his son Bronny James. But boundaries need to be set now that they’re also teammates.
Among the things that must get hashed out is how Bronny will address LeBron throughout the 2024-25 NBA season.
Recently, a short clip from Uninterrupted’s The Shop surfaced of the latter acknowledging the question many of us have been eager to have answered.

“[Bronny] cannot call me dad in the workplace,” LeBron stated.
But if Bronny can’t refer to LeBron as dad when they share the floor, what can he call him?
“He got to call me like ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron’ or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he wants to — it’s up to him,” LeBron joked.

“We cannot be running down the court, and he’d be like, ‘Dad, push the ball up! Dad, I’m open! Dad, come on!'” LeBron declared.
By the sound of it, LeBron and Bronny have taken the time to discuss their unparalleled and incredibly fascinating on-court dynamic. However, the former emphasized that once the two are outside the confines of basketball, the latter can address him accordingly again.
The fact LeBron even discussed how Bronny would greet him in a professional hoop setting highlights the unique circumstances of the matter. It’s truly unprecedented and a precursor to how captivating the situation will be.
