LeBron James and Bronny James are the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA.

Savannah James reacts to LeBron James playing with Bronny

Bronny James getting drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers has created a buzz all over the internet. The fans have all kinds of reactions to LeBron James playing with his son on the same team. However, one comment has the internet in splits, including the person involved in the joke, Savannah James.

As LeBron James and Bronny James are now teammates, fans hilariously accused the 39-year-old of ‘sleeping with teammate’s mother.’ The fan made the perfect joke out of the situation, which even left James’ wife, Savannah James, amused. She took to her social media to react to the unserious claim, reposting the comment while adding a couple of laughing emojis.

The dynamic is truly interesting as this is the first time a father-son duo would play together. The situation is new to the duo and fans. Despite watching the pair practice together numerous times, it would be interesting to see how the dynamic turns out on a professional level at the highest stage of basketball.

Long ago, the four-time champion admitted his desire to play alongside his son. Some even suspected the star was extending his contract for the desired possibility. However, even after his wish is now fulfilled, the situation might bring unexpected reactions. Just like the hilarious comment regarding Savannah.

Savannah James wanted Bronny James to be happy; not necessarily in the NBA

In April, Bronny shocked the fans as he announced that he would enter the NBA after only playing in college for one year. The news received backlash, considering his underwhelming performance at USC. However, Savannah supported Bronny’s decision publicly through her social media. But that was not the case a few years ago.

Despite James publicly admitting his desire to play with Bronny and wanting him in the NBA, Savannah has kept the options open for her son. In 2022, during an episode of Uninterrupted, the 37-year-old admitted that she wants Bronny to be happy regardless of his career plans in the future.

To be happy and find happiness in whatever he does. Whatever it is, I just want him to be happy.

It seems like playing in the NBA is what makes Bronny happy after all. Savannah has also shown him support throughout his draft journey. The player will certainly be under a microscope for his rookie year, but he undoubtedly has a strong support system at home.
