Nothing beats a playful session with rising high school basketball players, talking about NBA legends, and that's what 'NBA Future Starts Now' (@nbafuturestartsnow) planned to do in a collaboration post with the NBA (@nba).
On Saturday, Bryce James, Jerzy Robinson, and Chris Cenac were asked the age of NBA legend LeBron James, and the internet was amused. Fans have posted their reactions and can't get over the hosts asking Bryce James his dad's age.
"Did you really ask his son," said a fan.
"Imagine his own son don't know nun about his age," commented another fan.
"You really asked his son how old is he," wrote a user.
Moreover, fans teased the possibility that Bryce may not know LeBron's age.
"If Bryce got it wrong he was going to LeGet it," commented a fan.
"Imagine if Bryce said wrongly," wrote a user.
"They asked LeSeed? of course, he knows," said another fan.
The post also featured Kayden Allen, Chris Nwuli, and Davion Hannah, among others.
LeBron James is bestowed with the title of "King James" by his fans. The four-time champion is 39 years old and will celebrate his 40th birthday on Monday.
He currently plays for the LA Lakers alongside his son, Bronny. Last season, he became the NBA's all-time leading scorer, breaking the record of 38,387 points previously held by another NBA legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The following year, he smashed records with 40,000 points, continuing his dominant position.
