Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has got to be feeling pretty proud these days. First, his son Bronny James is working his way through the NBA Draft process, and now younger son Bryce James had a poster dunk in a game earlier this week go viral.
LeBron clearly loved it. And he made sure that people knew about it, sharing his reaction to Bryce’s slam on Instagram.
It’s shaping up to be a big offseason for LeBron and the Lakers. the team just hired James’ podcast co-host JJ Redick as the team’s next head coach after flirting with UConn’s Dan Hurley. As a first-time head coach – just like the fired Darvin Ham, the man he’s replacing – there will be a lot a pressure on Redick to win immediately with the pieces that the Lakers have.
Of course, whether or not the Lakers actually have enough talent to compete in the Western Conference is another question altogether. But regardless, the expectation among Los Angeles fans is that Redick needs to win with this group.
Additionally, James can opt out an become a free agent this offseason. While it would be no surprise for him to opt out of his player option and re-sign with the Lakers, especially now that his friend is coaching the team, it would be a shock if he opted to sign elsewhere.
