38-year-old NBA superstar LeBron James is currently in his 20th season and proving with every game that age is just a number. However, it is only a matter of time before the Los Angeles Lakers superstar announces his retirement. While there are no reports of his impending retirement yet, King James’ desire to play his last season with his son Bronny has set an unofficial retirement date. Bronny is not yet eligible to enter the NBA Draft until 2024 but new reports suggest LeBron might not have to wait till that time to fulfill his wish.

The 4x NBA champion has time and again expressed his wish of teaming up with his elder son Bronny James before he officially exits the league. However, there is still one more season left before Bronny can enter the draft, which means King James will have to wait for about two more years before his wish can finally come true.

LeBron James might be able to team up with his son Bronny soon

LeBron James Jr., aka Bronny, is currently in his senior year at Sierra Canyon High School and will soon leave for college. The 18-year-old point guard has received offers from multiple universities namely USC, Duke, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Kansas, and Memphis. Although, according to The Los Angeles Times, Bronny has already narrowed it down to three colleges – Ohio State, Oregon, and USC.

Since there is still a year left before he can try out for the NBA, Bronny will also have to choose the destination to play basketball during that time. The National Basketball League is reportedly eager to recruit the millionaire basketball star and is trying its best to convince Bronny to sign with them. The NBL is Australia’s top pro league and their ‘Next Stars’ program recruits young players who are deemed legitimate draft prospects in the next season.

If Bronny decides to join the NBL through their ‘Next Stars’ program, then it might be possible for LeBron to play with his son in a professional league. While this seems a highly unlikely possibility, James’ ardent desire to team up with his son might influence him to leave the NBA and join his son in Australia.

King James waits for his son to get drafted

LeBron James first revealed his plans of playing his last season with his son back in February 2022. The 18x NBA All-Star stated that he will do whatever it takes to get that one year with Bronny regardless of where he ends up playing.

“My last year will be played with my son. Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point,” James has stated.
