Is LeBron going to hold out for his youngest son?
LeBron James is on the verge of making NBA history by potentially teaming up with his oldest son, Bronny, in the upcoming 2024-25 season.
This prospect has ignited speculation about whether LeBron could eventually join forces with his younger son, Bryce, in the future.
During a candid Instagram Live interview this Friday, Bryce James was asked about the possibility of playing alongside his father. His response was refreshingly candid and realistic, reflecting on the improbability of such a scenario given their age difference.
“I’m not gonna lie, that’s OD,” Bryce remarked. “Nah, that’s too much. No, Good Lord. He’s going to be 42.”
Bryce’s grounded perspective is anchored in practicality. Currently preparing for his junior year at Notre Dame High School, Bryce is on track to become eligible for the NBA Draft in 2026.
Meanwhile, LeBron, though still performing at an elite level, faces the physical demands that come with advancing age, making it challenging to predict his career longevity.
Nevertheless, Bryce’s comments may inadvertently serve as motivation for LeBron to defy expectations and continue playing at a high level well into his 40s. Recent insights from NBA insider Shams Charania suggest that LeBron plans to play at least two more seasons, with the potential for a third depending on his physical condition and motivation.

“I do expect (Bronny James) to sign a guaranteed contract that keeps him on the active roster for the Lakers… You would assume that at some point this season he’s going to be on the floor, with his dad. And at the end of the day, I would expect one to two more years for LeBron James,” Charania shared, underscoring the possibility of a continued partnership between LeBron and Bronny on the court.
Looking ahead to the 2025-26 season, if LeBron maintains his remarkable fitness and form, there could indeed be an opportunity for him to extend his career and share the court with both of his sons.
Such a feat would be unprecedented in professional sports history, showcasing not only LeBron’s enduring greatness but also the unique bond between father and sons in the realm of basketball.
As fans and analysts speculate on the future of the James family dynasty in the NBA, one thing remains clear: LeBron James continues to redefine what’s possible in basketball, both as a player and a father, setting the stage for potential history-making moments in the seasons to come.
