He’s not just the greatest NBA player of all time, but also the greatest prankster to set foot on the court. Yes, you can pat your shoulders if you guessed LeBron James. No one can ever get away from his pranks, not even his family. Even his wife, Savannah can assure you their younger son, Bryce takes after his dad in this matter. He had once prank-called his mum for a good laugh. But, that’s beside the point, because the James household is preparing for the ultimate moment in the opening game. However, who would’ve thought Papa James would play one of his tricks on his debutant son Bronny James?

The King was filling Bronny’s car with Fruity Pebbles. What? Yes, you read that right. Keeping his inner child alive and as a part of promoting the much-awaited grand moment, James Sr. thought it was the perfect moment to bicker with his child. “Hey, Rook, you better not be late. And, hey, clean up my driveway.” These were Bron’s last words after he filled Bronny’s car with treats and escaped the ‘crime scene’. Flabbergasted James Jr. was simply done with his dad and remarked: “Yo, you’re too old for this.”

In this lighthearted Instagram Reel posted by the 39-year-old, you could sense a level of excitement. The sheer joy of having Bronny James as his teammate for the LA Lakers has kept the father and NBA legend on the edge for a while now. The historic moment arrives as the father-son duo prepares to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves together.

Bronny James’ excitement skyrockets as his official debut is just hours away

There can be no greater joy than to fit into one’s father’s shoes. Bronny James is currently living the moment as his official debut knocks at the door. There had been rumors that the 20-year-old shooting guard may not have playing time. But it looks like the universe itself wants the colossal debut to happen. In a way, everything is conspiring towards one aim, and that is the official run of the father-son duo. The MLB’s first father-son pair, the Griffeys will be in attendance at the opening game which will add to the grand moment. Therefore, Bronny’s excitement is skyrocketing through the roofs.

“Yeah, it’s gonna be insane,” the rookie told after practice Monday at the Lakers’ training complex. “I mean, only two families to do it, so it’s going to be a crazy experience, especially (with) what they’ve done.” Meanwhile, Bronny James remains doubtful about his playing time. He is unsure if he’ll get to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Lakers coach JJ Redick said “nothing has been finalized or anything” about Los Angeles’ playing rotation.

But it seems unlikely the Lakers will long for the historic moment to unfold. Not just the NBA fans but the team is equally excited for the 20YO’s debut alongside his father. So you can hope to see Bronny James debut in the game at least in the second quarter. And when it happens the world will bear witness to the NBA’s first father-son duo take on the parquet floor with unprecedented power.
