There are not many who can claim the kind of success LeBron James has in his career. No, I am not talking purely from a sports perspective. Rather, the legacy he has built both on and off the court—a legacy that now actively includes his son, Bronny James. The nearly 40-year-old has surpassed and created history throughout his 21 years in the league. But it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the one with Bronny is the closest to his heart! And now, he has another moment to add to his proud father-son collection.
The instance happened right after his insane back-to-back three-pointers that helped seal the Lakers’ win against a tenacious Pelicans team last night. While we all were focused on his iconic Silencer celebration and everything Bron did, many missed a crucial moment.
But not a hardcore fan. According to ChazNBA on YouTube, “What the broadcast didn’t show was actually Bronny copying LeBron and doing the silencer celebration after he did it. But luckily, a fan in the crowd took a video for us.”

It has since gone viral. Unsurprisingly. The ecstatic father soon caught wind of the happy moment, re-sharing the clip by House of Highlights on his Instagram stories with a heartfelt message. “The best feeling in the world being along side him like this!”
Watch this heartwarming moment that perfectly captures the bond between father and son, as Bronny pays tribute to ‘King James’ in the most unforgettable way!
This heartwarming display between LeBron James and his 20-year-old perfectly encapsulates the legacy of the James family – one built on passion, dedication, and shared triumphs. That said, why don’t we take a look at the actual play of the NBA’s all-time scorer last night?

With under two minutes left and the Lakers trailing by one, LeBron stepped up and hit a clutch three to give his team the lead. Just moments later, he was back at it—this time executing a pick-and-roll before draining another three, extending the lead to 4 points. After the second shot, he couldn’t resist bringing back his “Silencer” celebration, stomping his feet in triumph as the ball swished through the net.
Classic James in a pressure moment!

But it wasn’t just the ‘Akron Hammer’ who had a terrific night. Anthony Davis continued his strong season, notching another 30-point game. The Lakers’ No. 17 pick, Dalton Knecht, too, had a career-best night, dropping 27 points en route to a 104-99 win. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Los Angeles put in a solid, collective effort – 12 threes and strong defense – to finish jubilantly.
Despite his age, LeBron James’ performance proves that he remains the go-to guy for the LA team in tight situations. His leadership and clutch gene (so very intact!), even with a deep roster, underscores that the King’s presence is truly irreplaceable when it matters the most.
