Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has revealed his plans to play his final NBA season with oldest son, Bronny, according to The Athletic.
James, who is in his 19th season, has said numerous times that a long-term goal of his was to play with Bronny.
The 37-year-old signed with the Lakers through the 2022-23 season when Bronny is scheduled to graduate from high school.

Bronny, 18, is set to link up with the NBA legend in a father-son duo when James is a free agent
NBA rules state Bronny wouldn’t be eligible for the draft until 2024. However, the league could eventually allow players to declare for the draft straight out of high school, which would be next year when LeBron can be a free agent.
‘My last year will be played with my son,’ James said in an interview with Jason Lloyd of The Athletic.
‘Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.’
His son is currently attending Sierra Canyon High School in California, and is considered to be a four-star prospect by 247Sports and the 34th-ranked recruit in the class of 2023.
Should the rules change, then he could well turn pro in the NBA, but if not, then there are other options available such as: NBA G League Ignite, Overtime Elite and the NBL in Australia.

Bronny is looking to follow in his fathers footsteps once he graduates from high school
In any case, the potential pairing of LeBron and Bronny in the NBA looks very much to be in the cards.
With LeBron set on playing with Bronny, teams around the NBA should be on high alert to potentially land the father-son duo.
If fact, James could be set for a third-stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, it seems.
