You think pressure is tough? Try getting coached mid-game by your dad. And that “Dad” is none other than LeBron James. That’s exactly what Bronny James experienced during the Lakers’ Summer League matchup, as the four-time NBA champion was spotted courtside at Thomas & Mack Center offering real-time advice to his son. One moment, Bronny’s guarding Ryan Dunn, a standout Suns rookie, and the next? He’s getting pointers from basketball royalty. Casual, no? And LeBron wasn’t alone in the family coaching department.
His daughter, Zhuri, was also courtside, stealing the spotlight in between game breaks. At one point, it looked like she was running her own timeout huddle. The Lakers’ future might be in the hands of Bronny, but the sidelines? That’s all Zhuri. Though … it wasn’t just a family affair either.
