Even now as LeBron James is in his career twilight, living his new life with his family in Los Angeles, the dream of seeing him play on a nightly basis at Madison Square Garden as a member of the New York Knicks still lives on. So much so that James was asked about potentially playing for the Knicks, in the event that his 14-year old son Bronny Jr. gets drafted by them.
The premise of the question, about LeBron’s son being drafted in some far-off future where LeBron is still in the league, as he hopes to be, was brushed off because LeBron just wants Bronny to worry about being in ninth grade.

Although Bronny and the Sierra Canyon team he is on already have a following that was bigger than anything we saw during LeBron’s high school career, he’s still in high school. LeBron and the family have also made sure to not let Bronny do any interviews with media outlets until he graduates.
After LeBron’s high school experience was anything but normal, LeBron is trying to make sure his kids have a little bit more normalcy in their school experiences.
