LeBron James is one of the best players in the NBA — and he’s doing his best to be a champion father off the court as well.

“The crazy thing is, my whole life I grew up resenting my father,” the Los Angeles Lakers player told Fatherly in October 2018 about how his own upbringing shaped the way he raises the three kids he shares with wife Savannah James: LeBron Jr. (a.k.a Bronny), Bryce and Zhuri.

He continued: “He’s the reason I am the father I am today. Because I always wanted to set an example and have the father figure in their lives so they never had that resentment.”

LeBron even revealed he hopes to share the court with his kids one day. “My last year [in the NBA] will be played with my son,” the athlete told The Athletic in February 2022. “Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”
