LeBron James and his older son Bronny James both play for elite teams in Los Angeles, which adds a humorous twist to this year’s basketball season. This implies that there will sometimes be overlaps.

Wednesday was one of those nights, with Bronny’s USC traveling to Arizona and LeBron’s Los Angeles Lakers playing the Dallas Mavericks. After the Lakers defeated the Mavs 127-110 to win the championship, LeBron was left to field questions from the media as his kid played on a nearby television.

It turned out to be quite a distraction, as any parent who cares about their child’s athletic achievement will agree. James revealed his feelings about the game while fielding questions, resulting in statements like “Offensively, we’re really — God, dаmn it! — sorry,” and “Defensively, we were in tune.”

In the end, the 12th-ranked Wildcats defeated USC 82-67. The club now sits second-to-last in the Pac-12 with an 8-10 overall record and a 2-5 conference record after the defeat.

Bronny had his second career start and saw a career high in minutes (30), scoring 11 points, a career-best six assists, five rebounds, and five turnovers as star freshman Isaiah Collier was still out with a hand ιnjury.

Understandably, Bronny’s collegiate career has been a work in progress so far, as he had a cardiac arrest event over the summer that kept him from playing from the beginning of the season. Last month, LeBron made his son’s collegiate debut, describing it as “everything for my family.”
