Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant recently shared his thoughts on what it will be like to face both LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, as they make history with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The NBA is gearing up for a historic season, as for the first time ever, a father-son duo will share the court. LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, are set to play together for the Los Angeles Lakers. Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant recently opened up about the unique experience of going up against both LeBron and Bronny for the first time.
For players like Durant, who have watched Bronny grow up, the prospect of facing him in an NBA game is especially surreal. Speaking with reporter Mark Medina after a Suns preseason game, Durant shared his thoughts.
“[Playing against Bronny James] will be cool,” Durant said. “I remember Bronny running around when he was in elementary school, being around [LeBron James] and his family 10, 12, 13 years ago. So this moment is pretty cool to see him out on the court with ‘James Jr.’ on his back alongside his dad—it’s crazy.”
Durant will get his first chance to face the James family on Sunday, October 6, when the Suns take on the Lakers in a preseason matchup. However, it’s not guaranteed that both Durant and LeBron will play in the game.
