LeBron James and his son Bronny had another special moment on Wednesday night.
The Los Angeles Lakers headed to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers and the game featured Bronny’s first bucket in the NBA.
In the moments before he took to the floor, thousands of Cavaliers fans were chanting for Bronny, eager to root for their hometown star.
Following the game, LeBron spoke to the press, via ClutchPoints, about how impressed he was by his son.
“20,000 fans screaming my name to get in the game and wanting me to be in the game, and if the role’s reversed, I don’t know if I would have been able to handle it,” James said.

The odd thing is that James did handle that sort of situation years ago and he did incredibly well with it.
When he entered the league, he was the biggest rookie in generations and the expectations and attention around him were immense.
But James embraced the support, stepped up, and became one of the most successful and respected NBA stars of all time.
Although Bronny’s situation is similar, it’s different in many ways.
The expectations around him are because of his father’s status and legacy and people want to see what he can achieve.
Although he lives in Los Angeles now, Bronny was born in Akron, just like his dad, so the fans in Cleveland were excited to show their support.
The love from the fans got Bronny in the zone and he soon scored his first career points in the arena he was raised in years ago.
