Watch LeBron James, proud papa, tackle his son after an ‘and-one’ play
Basketball scouts take note.
LeBron James Jr., the 9-year-old son of NBA superstar LeBron James, is taking after his father.
James Jr. played in the AAU Fourth Grade National Championship on Friday in Lexington, Ky., where he dribbled through three defenders and made a layup as he was fouled on the play.
Good move. Even better reaction.
James, a four-time NBA MVP and two-time NBA champion, screamed as he spun around in a circle. Then he went and hugged his son, playfully tackled him onto the floor and rolled around.
James can add “proud father” to his long list of accomplishments.
