Top 10 funniest Bronny x LeBron James memes
#10 The wait is finally over!
The speculation and rumors came with much hatred for Bronny but the young guard has navigated everything with grace. Father and son had to wait a while, but his name was finally called.
#9 A dream come true
In Jan 2023, LeBron James expressed a desire to share the court with his son. While it looked like he was taking a step back since then, his wish could possibly come true when the season starts in the fall. As such, LeBron is likely thankful to those on the Lakers who made it possible.
#8 The Family Affair
LeBron James married Savannah in 2013 but Bronny was born in 2004 with Bryce following three years later. Umm...

At 39, LeBron James still performs in peak form and it is largely due to his consistent practice. Bronny is also expected to do the same, but do you think LeBron would be harder on his son at practice?

No one can forget when JR Smith cost the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 1 NBA Finals against the Golden State in 2018. Here's hoping Bronny does not do the same.
