LeBron James reveals what the greatest achievement of his career is: "It's the greatest thing you can have"

LeBron James is very proud of Bronny. On Wednesday, January 15, the superstar from Los Angeles Lakers was the special guest on the podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce and revealed that playing alongside his 20-year-old son has been his greatest achievement. The proud father, who recently turned 40, and his eldest son made history in October 2024 by becoming the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA.

"When it comes to championships, that's a separate thing," said LeBron. "But being able to play in this league and also being able to do it with Bronny right now, is one of the biggest achievements and probably the number 1 achievement I've been able to make. Working with your son, I've heard it from a lot of people and not just in sports, but I've heard it in business and other areas of life, and they say it's the biggest thing you can have."

The basketball living legend, who also shares his 17-year-old son Bryce and 10-year-old daughter Zhuri with his wife Savannah James, continued by saying that he felt he was able to reclaim the years he was away working during Bronny's childhood.

"Seeing him every day, striving and going through the process of trying to become who he wants to be while I'm sitting there watching him, and doing the things he wants to do and being able to take it all in... helps me reclaim some of the minutes and hours and years I didn't have with him because I was playing a lot and on the road and doing my things, and traveling," LeBron continued. "So being able to reclaim some of his time now, man, it's pretty special," he added.

LeBron James talks about the pressure Bronny faces

The father of three also spoke about how Bronny has to deal with the pressures and negative reactions of social media, something LeBron did not have to endure during his youth years. "I didn't have to deal with social media haters while growing up," he said. "And I didn't have to deal with having my father be that damn guy who's on a pedestal."

LeBron continued by saying that if the detractors knew Bronny, they would feel like "idiots" because he's "the calmest, easiest, and most fun kid in the world." "I think it's going to make him even bigger, because having to deal with all the stuff he's dealing with and still be able to come back from a life-threatening situation and still have the drive," LeBron added. "He didn't have to do it."

Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest in July 2023 during a training session at the University of Southern California. "Bronny doesn't have to play basketball at all," said LeBron, adding that his son doesn't need the money and could decide to "do whatever he wants." "But he says, 'This is my career. These are my goals and aspirations, and I want to play ball. This is something I love,'" he added. "I love that kid. He's incredible."
