LeBron James Reveals His Greatest NBA Achievement Without Hesitation

Despite the loss, James was in good spirits and even shared some lighthearted moments with his son, Bronny James, in the locker room after capping off their first season together. When a reporter asked where playing with his son ranked among his greatest professional achievements, LeBron didn’t hesitate.

“Number one. For sure, that's easy," James said. "It’s not even close. To be able to play the game that I love and to be alongside my son has been one of the most gratifying, satisfying journeys I’ve been on."

He continued, “Just to see what he’s able to do every single day by channeling his mind and his work, just putting in the effort. Seeing how much he’s improved from the moment he was drafted to doing what he was doing in the [G League], getting opportunities with us... You can ask any one of his teammates or coaches—he’s just a joy to be around.”

The two became the first father-and-son duo to not only be teammates in the NBA but also to share the floor together at the same time, a moment that occurred in the very first game of the season.

While Bronny didn’t spend a lot of time with the pro team this year, he continually developed throughout the season, averaging 21.9 points, 5.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 steals with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.

As Bronny continues to develop his game, LeBron now faces a decision about his future. Turning 41 in December, LeBron would enter his 23rd season if he returns next year, which would make him the player with the most seasons played in NBA history.
