LeBron James is surprisingly not making a run at the NBA Finals this year after his Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoff by the Phoenix Suns. Instead, he’s focused on supporting and helping his kids get better on the court.
A couple of days ago, we saw a pumped LeBron after Bryce Maximus used a euro step to score, emulating what his father’s done in the NBA. More recently, he was recorded coaching Bronny James during the last seconds of a game.

The King told his eldest son to get open to get his shot, and he did it. He took a corner 3-pointer and unfortunately missed it, but Bron was smiling, showing his approbation.

Of course, this is nothing to worry about. You can’t make every shot you take, but you miss all the shots you don’t. Bronny missed this time, but that didn’t mean anything for him or his father.
He’s considered a future NBA star by many scouts, and having his dad helping him at this age will surely benefit him. He doesn’t even seem to be pressured by all the success his dad has had in the association, which is a big advantage for the teenager.
Bronny couldn’t get it done this time, but he tried, and that’s what LeBron enjoyed the most. While we get ready for the NBA Finals, James focuses his attention on different things, especially his sons and all the Space Jam’s promos we’ve seen recently.
