Lakers’ LeBron James Posts Photo of Bronny Celebrating vs. Blazers: ‘My Purpose’

Bronny James is living out his NBA dreams alongside his father with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bronny got to see LeBron James at his best on Thursday as the star veteran posted 38 points and eight assists on 7-of-10 from deep in a 114-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. After the game, James shared the motivation behind the big scoring night.

He posted a picture of his son celebrating on the bench with the caption “My purpose.”

While many former NBA players have seen their kids eventually make it to the NBA, no other player can say they played alongside their son. The James family is the only father-son duo in league history to play on the same team.

Perhaps having Bronny on the Lakers is keeping James spry, as he’s continued to beat Father Time this season. James, who just turned 40, is averaging 23.9 points, 8.9 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game.

While his athleticism has declined over the years, he’s continued to stay sharp on the court and has developed different aspects of his game.

Bronny hasn’t seen much action with the Lakers this season, appearing in just seven games, but he’s started to find his footing in the G League.

Across seven games in the G League Tip-Off Tournament, Bronny averaged 13.4 points, 3.4 assists and three rebounds per game. He’s performed better in his two regular-season games with South Bay, averaging 19 points, eight rebounds, 5.5 assists and two steals per contest.

If he continues to play at that level, he could get to spend more time on the court with his father.
