LeBron James, often nicknamed “King James,” is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players ever. He has won the NBA Championship four times (2012, 2013, 2016, and 2023), is the NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer, and has been named NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) four times. Additionally, he is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, known for his all-around skills including scoring, passing, athleticism, and playmaking.
In a historic moment for the NBA, LeBron and his son Bronny became the first active father-son duo in league history when Bronny was drafted in 2024. The new contract with the Lakers not only cements LeBron’s future with the team but also keeps alive the dream of playing alongside his son on the same NBA court.
