What should Bronny James call LeBron on the court with the Lakers? Dad? Bron? A debate

It’s the question we all have now that LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, are Los Angeles Lakers teammates.

What the heck should Bronny call LeBron on the court? Like, when Bronny is open beyond the arc and LeBron has the ball, does he say “Hey Dad!” or “Bron!” or … whatever? Or in practice? This has the chance to be really awkward, but for all of us, it’s a fun exercise to think about.

We here at For The Win have been talking about it, and we decided to give the James Gang some help with answers. Here’s what we came up with:

It’s got to be “Dad”

Here’s my thing about this situation: if Bronny is out there on the court and says anything, LeBron is going to know it’s Bronny. A father can always pick out the voice if his kid no matter what. But if they want to make this work, they have to keep it simple so Bronny doesn’t overthink anything on the court. Call him “Dad.” No one’s going to make fun of him for it. — Charles Curtis

“Dad,” but make it cool

It’s not the usual “Dad.” It’s got to be in a way that Bronny tries to make cool. Not the sweet kid “Dad” but the rebellious teen “Dad.” You know the difference when you hear it. That said, I’ve never worked with my dad, but I can’t imagine that if I did work with him, I’d call him “Dad” at work. That’s weird. But … are they on a first-name basis as parent and child? Does Bronny just call him Two-Three?  I don’t know, man. This is weird. — Mike Sykes

“Big Bron” or “Mr. James,” just for the laughs

I feel like the only way for this to get even more awkward than it already is if Bronny calls LeBron “Big Bron” or “Mr. James” mid-game. The unimaginable howls I am going to let out from laughing should be studied. — Meghan Hall

It doesn’t matter

I don’t care what Bronny calls LeBron. What I need him to do is show up on the first day of training camp and punch his father right in the throat. Let him and the rest of the Lakers know there’s a new alpha in the pack. AWOOOOOOOOOO — Christian D’Andrea
