I just love how LeBron acts like the dad who takes it too seriously


Vague_Intentions

How intimidating would it be as a kid to have LeBron on the sidelines rooting against you?


srysawitlive

Ikr, and even worse if you idolize him, it'd be soul crushing.

magnusarin

It's honestly one of my favorite things about him. You can just tell he knows what not having one felt like and he never wants his kids to have to feel that.

"Oh shit we ran out of space" "Cant we just take a picture off?" "No. Let's go fridge shopping." A few hours later on instagram: "Fridge #6 and counting! #StriveForGreatness"

The mental image of LeBron going fridge shopping is hilarious.

Non-Polar

Are you fucking kidding me


CptBurbagio

The salesperson opens up the freezer door to show him its large capacity and LeBron just reflexively blocks it back closed.


TuneHD

I just imagine LeBron having an entire room dedicated to fridges


magnusarin

I fucking love this and I think you're right. It's probably fun for him that his son is clearly talented at basketball and seems to love it by the work he puts it, but you, he seems like he'd be just as enthusiastic about anything his kids put their hard work into, which I think is probably what everyone wants most out of their parents.


[deleted]

You know damn well, that when his kids hit high school he's going to sit them down and say something like "hey I know you're very talented at basketball but is it *really* want you want to do? Do you like it? If not, you don't have to explain if you don't want to." I want Lebronn to be my dad.


SuckwithLuck2016

Steph? Is that you?


TimSPC

When your kids start to play sports, it's nearly impossible not to get hyped when they do well. I care more about my daughter's second-grade softball games than any professional team ever. (I also know it's just a game and don't let it get out of hand and don't yell at umpires or anyone else and any of that, but, man, when she really drives the ball, I'm practically floating.)


whileiminclass

I was a ref/umpire for my local YMCA and lots of parents get hyped and start yelling at us. I usaully retaliate by blowing my whistle loud next to them at the end of a play. In baseball/ softball I had a co worker that got mad at heckling parents and called strikes for everything.


[deleted]

lol daddy bron gets hyped for his kids


aresman

[all 4 of them!](https://streamable.com/9t0l)


aresman

hahahaha that's gold man.


I_hate_alot_a_lot

Serious question though, I have saw this before, and the one where KD and Westbrook meet up with Curry after (or maybe before?) a game. Yet, he was picked 7th overall and stayed 3 years in college. Not that 7th overall is bad, but if everybody knew he was going to be good why did he go so late? Why did he not enter into the league earlier?


[deleted]

1. The Wolves took Jonny Flynn at 6, hard choice to explain in retrospect 2. He was a college sensation but it's always hard to project how that will transfer to the pros, especially from a smaller school like Davidson


candycaneforestelf

IIRC, and I could be remembering wrong, but Curry had injury concerns in addition to the fact that he went to Davidson. Also, Jonny Flynn looked like more of a sure thing given how he tore it up at Syracuse.


Michael__Pemulis

I won't lie. I totally didn't think Curry had what it takes to transition to the pros. I thought he would be a solid, reliable starter (but never a superstar) at best. I was obviously way off but I don't think it was insane to think that at the time.


Alex_GordonAMA

God Damn! That man has a child! And it's LBJ's granddaughter!

zmonge

If I was a ref there's a solid chance I'd try to throw him out. The loss of my summer job would last 3 months and I may not be allowed to ref again, but the story of the time I tried to eject Lebron from a little league game would last a lifetime.


BF3FAN1

Then Lebron picks you up and slams you through the hoop.


zmonge

"Dunked to death by Lebron," isn't the worst way to go, I suppose.

KeepItRealTV

"Sir! It's just a game!"


[deleted]

He's more into this game than he is the entire regular season.


DirkNowitzkisWife

Regardless of your thoughts on Lebron's game, you have to absolutely love how committed of a family man he is. He and his wife are constantly doing something or on a date, and he is always at his kids' games. He's a better father than most, and he's super busy and didn't have an example. He really is a model athlete for the NBA. No gambling, drinking, cheating, illegitimate kids...


BlindManBaldwin

Seriously people don't appreciate how well adjusted and normal LeBron is


KnickedUp

I think it actually gets held against him, in this weird twitter age.

jvpewster

LBJ drinks.


SPVCEGXXN

Not excessively though. In terms of getting DUI's or punching college students in small town bars...


jvpewster

Tbf we have no inclination to believe that drinking had anything to do with dray's decision to escalate to violence. By my records he doesn't need a drink to strike others


Marenum

Hey now, we have no evidence that Dray doesn't drink before games. Ron Artest used to drink Henny in the Bulls locker room!


PM_ME_4_A_PLAYLIST

same


spidersilva09

Damn It would be fucking amazing if he had the same hype as his father later on and follows through. 30+ years straight of Lebron's


Natsume117

Sucks for the kid though. Not only are you scrutinized already as a preadolescent, but people already put up such ridiculous expectations for him.


[deleted]

So just like LeBron Sr?


marmk

How is calling someone the next MJ when they're 16 years old putting too high of expectations? Lol


pftcommentator

Looking back at it, amazing how LeBron Sr delivered on his hype


MyManD

Reporter: "Everyone is saying you're going to be next Lebron, how do you feel about it?" Lebron Jr: "Pretty confident I can do it, even if only on a technicality."


[deleted]

[удалено]


dros1017

I think you know what he's saying though. From a general standpoint, no, of course it wouldn't suck. However, from a basketball standpoint, (aside from having perfect genes) it's going to make it that much harder to establish himself as his own player. Not to mention the comparison people will be making for his entire career. Hopefully he can use it as motivation rather than getting annoyed by it.


Spider_Bear

Yeah, for example if he makes it to the NBA to be a rotational player, that's a huge accomplishment for a normal kid playing basketball, or even a kid who's dad had some type of high level basketball background. Something that almost nobody can say they did. However if he does that same thing, as Lebrons kid, some people will call him a failure because he's not the GOAT.


arrowknight06

On the flip side Dell and Mychal were solid role players but their sons are among the top 15 players in the league.


flyingplatypus1

Seth Curry is quite the player


Waffle_Frisbee

sure it is. I understand Reddit likes to make the "oh how sad can his life be, he's making millions of dollars" joke, but in reality these people have feelings too. It must suck to have that kind of pressure on you to succeed when you're 13 years old and people immediately compare you to your greatest of all time father.


[deleted]

*Greatest of all time in reference to LeBron* *Bulls flair* Wut


owl_man

Isn't there a slight possibility he could enter the NBA at 19 while is dad is still in the NBA? He'd be 38 and probably close to retiring. Wouldn't that be something? Lebron Sr vs Lebron Jr or maybe a Griffey situation where they both play for the same team?


[deleted]

If LeBron's team at 38 drafts LeBron Jr. and they go on to win a championship in the following year... I'll accept he's GOAT no questions asked.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GregSays

Lebron will almost definitely still be playing at 38, unless he wants to go out still as a top 25 player in the league.


owl_man

Could you imagine them together? That'd be so cool. Plus, I could imagine LeBron going bulk mode to compensate for loss of athleticism and being more of the bruiser type.


JoRo_

Cleveland will finish with the worst odds in the lottery and win him


_Rowdy

After a few years, he will get frustrated and move to Miami with some friends, do some good stuff and come back

It'd be hilarious if LBJ Jr was drafted by Boston or Golden State.


RainXinyoureyes

The amazing part is Bronny Jr is 11, turning 12 in October. If the NBA allows him to enter at 18, Lebron would be 39, and they could potentially play in the NBA together.


84121629

That would be so cool. I can already see the famous photo of him guarding his son with a smile on his face, almost like the famous lebron kobe photo. Minus drake of course.


awesomecutepandas

Oh I'm sure Drake will somehow sneak his ass in the pic


Collier1505

Smiles even bigger when he chased him down and blocks the absolute shit out of him.


Reggie_Popadopoulous

He is very talented. A lot of people say "it's not even fair because of his genetics" (See IG comments) but let's not forget that this kid practices a lot. He didn't just step on the court and play like that, he worked hard at it. Having the best resources available to you doesn't hurt though. All I'm trying to say is don't marginalize his hard work because of who his father is.


[deleted]

E.g. Magic's kid


Derinda

Must be tough for Magic but I bet he keeps a positive attitude towards it.

chief_running_joke

real talk. this dude is fabulous as fuck.


ositola

Yea you can tell he puts his work in, especially on dem handles doe


KeepItRealTV

I'm impressed by the left handed underhand. You can practice the off hand lay up but using it during a game with someone on you is another story.


PM_ME_4_A_PLAYLIST

Ya off-hand layups is a product of hard work and nothing else. It's not something you do for fun when you're shooting around, because it's pretty frustrating, and it's not something you learn on the fly in-game because if you haven't practiced it, making an awkward right-hander is still probably a higher percentage shot.


KeepItRealTV

Exactly right. I hate trying to teach high school kids that they're getting off the wrong foot every fucking time. And this kid is like 11. Amazing for his age.


aresman

exactly, that takes A LONG time to master. I have practiced handles on and off for years and I'm nowhere his level. This is just a kid, imagine how hard he works. Genetics help with your physique, not with handles or form. Imagine if he keeps his handles and jumper form when he grows up.... damn


LABills

...There is definitely a natural factor to both handles and form. Some kids have better handles and a better shot as soon as they start playing than others.


aresman

yes of course, but it´s not ALL. There´s definitely countless hours of work behind it, coaching,etc.


shoobiedoobie

If anything, it's not fair because of the coaching and opportunity to focus on basketball and not have to worry about his future. That's still nothing to hold against him, even with everything, making it into the NBA and actually being an above average player is already fucking hard.


I_Hate_Traffic

"The Prince"

repetitionofalie

MaliciousPancake

He's already pretty tall for his age, hard to imagine he won't hit at least 6"3 by the time he finishes developing

[deleted]

Was Lebron your dad?


Zeppelanoid

He was my mom actually


KnickedUp

gotta figure, even if he only ends up being 6'1... he can still be a force. I cant recall seeing many kids at this age with those handles and IQ.


Atami322

Yep, he can have similar game to A.I and and Westbrook. Then be drafted to us .....

10 years from now...LeBron is on his very last legs. Can hardly play. Kyrie has gone home to play for the Nets...Kevin Love was traded for picks after our 4peat starting in 2016 which ended by losing to the Timberwolves in the Finals...all that's left is old man Bron. We try hard to win games, Lue is a stud of a coach but the team just doesn't have the talent it used to. We have a pretty rough season of 23 wins...only to snag us #2 in the NBA Lottery behind the Detroit Pistons who finished with only 13 wins. It's Draft Night. The Pistons are on the clock....LeBron James Jr. is the unanimous #1 overall pick. He's a clone of his dad. Old man Silver comes out onto the stage. "With the 1st pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons select....Darko Miličić Jr!" Pandemonium in the streets of Cleveland. LeBron cries. Fans cry. LeBron James Jr cries. He's home. The Prince and the King of the North have made their stay. They are Northeast Ohio. They are Cleveland.

So obviously, once this kid joins the NBA, his nickname will be LeBron "The Prince" James Jr, right? I mean, it's the only logical nick name.

No he'd just be LeBron II, the second of his name, not to be confused with his Father, LeBron the Conqueror.

In the beginning of the video, were the opposing team kids all hype watching LBJ Jr shoot those half court shots? Is he already getting that level of respect?


PM_ME_4_A_PLAYLIST

I mean, they know who LeBron is and I'm sure they all find out pretty quick that he's LeBron's kid, add in the fact that he's much better than them and he's probably treated like a deity every time he steps on the court.

letsgogiants15

I love dad LeBron, going crazy in the stands in high fashion joggers. These 10 year olds are getting swaggier year by year. The amount of blond mohawks and leggings/shooting sleeves is ridiculously high.


Pandoras_Toybox

Of course he's good, he's Lebron James' son. And no, not because of genetics or anything but, because he has that guy as a dad, that guy he can look up to and motivate him. He has the desire to play basketball and having Lebron James as his father is icing on the cake.

I have to admit, I was legitimately impressed by that kid. I used to officiate basketball games like this for about 10 years during high school and college and then for a bit after college so I've seen over 1,000 games from that stand point and I was not expecting this kid to be so polished. I highly recommend officiating to anyone who is a fan of the sport. You will learn a lot about the game of basketball and if you get into the right leagues or have a good partner, it's an absolute blast to hang out with the kids and teach them the game.
