James responds to father and son on the same stage: Bronny can't call me dad in the Lakers, but he can call me GOAT

On August 28, Beijing time, Lakers superstar James talked about the topic of "father and son on the same stage" on the latest episode of The Shop, when asked whether Bronny is allowed to call him "Dad" when playing with Bronny, James clearly replied that such a title is not allowed, but if his son wants, he can also call him "GOAT".

"No, he can't [call me Daddy]," James responds with a smile, the soon-to-be-40 years old, "You can't call me 'Daddy' in the workplace, once we leave the private place and the door closes, I can be 'Daddy' again." James's answer made the fans laugh.

James went on to say: "In the car, if we ride together, at home, I can be 'dad', but [at work], he can call me 2-3 or Brown [LeBron's nickname]. Or call me the GOAT (Best Player of All Time), if he wills. It's up to him. I mean, it's up to him. ”

James also said that it was easy for him to call it because he had become accustomed to calling his son "Bronny", and he could also call him that when the Lakers played. However, he admits that it was a bit difficult for his son, as Bronny usually calls James "Daddy" and he needs to adjust the title.

"We can't run on the pitch and he shouts 'Daddy, I'm in the open space, Daddy pass the ball!' No, you can't do that! James' words amused the fans again.

In the 2024-25 season, James will finally fulfill his long-standing wish of "father and son on the same stage", which will also be the first father and son to share the stage in NBA history. Bronny was selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick in the last round of this year's draft, and in this year's Las Vegas Summer League, Bronny played 4 games, averaging 25.1 minutes per game, contributing 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1 assist, and the shooting rate was an obvious shortcoming, with a shooting rate of only 35%, and a three-point shooting rate as low as 15.8%. He even lost to a female fan in a recent fixed-point shooting competition.
