At the Lakers' new season media day, LeBron James gave a clear response to the possibility of playing on the same stage with his youngest son Bryce for the first time. Faced with the question of whether he would extend his career to wait for Bryce to enter the NBA, the 41-year-old James said bluntly: "I won't wait for Bryce. I don't know what his time plan is. He is now an independent young man."

The new season will be James' 23rd season in the NBA, and his youngest son, Bryce, who just turned 18, will represent the University of Arizona in the NCAA and will not be qualified for the NBA draft as early as 2026. James emphasized: "He has his pace, I have my pace - to be honest, these two timelines may not be aligned." Unlike the previous statement that he would wait for his eldest son Brownie to achieve the same stage as his father and son, James showed a completely different attitude towards his younger son Bryce this time. The four-time champion defined future plans with "letting go" and implies that his career is coming to an end.

The first legendary scene in NBA history where "father and son are on the same stage" may only become a beautiful imagination in the hearts of fans.
