LeBron James Says Son Bronny Joining Him on the Lakers Is His 'Greatest Accomplishment' in Basketball


LeBron James spoke to Craig Melvin on 'Today' about son Bronny James joining him as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, saying that "when it comes to basketball, it's the greatest accomplishment that I’ve ever had."

In an interview with Craig Melvin that aired Monday, July 8 on Today, the basketball legend opened up about his feelings amid the recent news that he re-signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, the same team that also selected his 19-year-old son, Bronny James, during the NBA draft. Meanwhile, news that LeBron had re-signed to the Lakers broke on Saturday, July 6, with the team's Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka sharing that the longtime player's "commitment to continuous performance and long-term sustained excellence is unmatched." After suffering cardiac arrest during a practice last July, Bronny missed the first eight games of the NCAA season and was diagnosed with "an anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect" by doctors.
