<\/picture><\/figure>\nLeBron James on Monday celebrated his 40th birthday, a milestone that has propelled the superstar forward into the NBA’s history books<\/a>, and has James himself thinking about just how much longer he can play professional basketball<\/a> at a high level (hint, it’s a long time). <\/p>\n James’s son Bronny delivered one of the best presents he could offer his dad during warmups before the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on New Year’s Eve Tuesday. <\/p>\n As the elder James headed towards the basket in the layup line, Bronny bucked tradition and instead bounced the ball to his father in a perfect pass, connecting with him on a sweet alley-oop. <\/p>\n \u2014 NBA (@NBA) January 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n James and his son made league history<\/a> in October when they became the first father-son duo to play in the NBA together. James has since been playing for the South Bay Lakers in the G League, where he was assigned in November, for further development of his game. And the younger James has certainly created some highlights<\/a>, including a 30-point outing<\/a> in his first road G League game earlier in December. <\/p>\n If James keeps impressing, perhaps fans will get a chance to see he and his father create a highlight such as this one in NBA action rather than just warmups. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Published
