In a twist that perfectly encapsulates the blend of sports, family, and a dash of humor, LeBron James has taken fatherly advice to a new level—perhaps too new! The Los Angeles Lakers superstar isn’t just worrying about his legacy on the court; he’s now nudging his son Bronny to think about the future of his own family before LeBron’s knees give out on him. I mean, when you’re a three-time NBA champion and arguably one of the best players ever, why not add ‘grandpa’ to your list of accolades? After all, who wouldn’t want their grandkids to be able to catch a street-ball alley-oop from their legendary, not-so-spry grandfather? So, where’s the line between basketball and baby talk? Join me as we dive into LeBron’s hilarious yet earnest quest for early grandparenthood! LEARN MORE

LOS ANGELES—Reminding his son that he won’t be on the roster forever, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James reportedly began pressuring Bronny to have grandchildren before he’s too old to play with them in the NBA, sources confirmed Monday. “You know, son, I’m not getting any younger, and I want to be able to pick and roll with my grandkids in playoffs before my knees are completely shot,” said James, adding that he didn’t want his grandchildren to see him as a feeble old man who struggled to get back to his feet after diving on the floor for a loose ball. “At some point my mobility will go, and I might have trouble tossing them an alley-oop or setting a screen so they can dominate in the paint. I’m not what I used to be, after all. Some days I don’t even have the energy to swat shots into the bleachers or get up in a ref’s face and argue about a trivial call. Time is of the essence here. I just don’t want my grandchildren to see me as a helpless old man barely able to dunk from the free-throw line.” At press time, James was urging Bronny’s girlfriend to put a basketball under her shirt so he could imagine how being a grandfather felt for a moment.
