Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will go down as one of the greatest players of all time, but he doesn’t consider his legendary resume on the court to be his greatest achievement.
Despite being a four-time NBA champion, a four-time NBA MVP, a 20-time All-Star and the league’s all-time leading scorer, James told Jason and Travis Kelce during an appearance on the New Heights podcast that he believes sharing the court with his son Bronny James outweighs all of that.
“For me, obviously, when it comes to the titles, that’s one separate thing, but to be able to be in this league and play in this league and also being able to do it alongside Bronny right now, that’s like one of the biggest accomplishments and probably the No. 1 accomplishment I’ve ever been able to do,” James said around the 33:08 mark.
The Lakers selected Bronny James with a second-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft. The 20-year-old has appeared in nine games in limited action while also spending some time in the G League.
Still, the elder James explained that being able to spend time with his son in a professional setting is something that he’ll never take for granted.
“To work with your son, I’ve heard from a lot of people, not only in sports but I’ve heard it in business and walks of life, they said it’s the greatest thing you could ever, ever have,” James said.
“To see him every day grinding, going through the process of trying to become who he wants to become while I am sitting there just watching him and doing the things he wants to do and being able to just take it all in, it helps me to get some of the minutes and hours and years back that I did not have with him because I was playing so much and on the road and doing my own thing. So to be able to get some of this time back now, man, it’s pretty special.”
