LeBron James Says What Motivated His Son To Play In The NBA

JAKARTA - Last year, LeBron James publicly admitted several times that he would do anything to play on the same team as his son, Bronny. Even if it meant he left the Los Angeles Lakers.

In the latest episode of The Shop series, James reveals the motivational factors that drove his son to want to play in the NBA.

"Not too long ago, I said... I asked him, 'What do you want to do with this? It seems you want to go professional?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Why?' He said, 'Because I wanted to make a name for myself,'" James explained as quoted by Marca.

"And when I heard that, I was like... I said, 'Okay, let's get to that.

"By the way, he changed his name to Bronny. I didn't. Yes, I made him Junior. But he's Bronny."

Bronny currently plays for the AAU team and his official Ballislife mixtape volume 3 just released on Friday.

His jumper was much smoother than his father's jumper and exhibited a strange burst of athleticism.

In an episode of The Shop, King James also explains that apart from playing with his son, he also wants to play with Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry.

When asked about NBA stars from the past, his dream is to play alongside Scottie Pippen.
