As a sports enthusiast and a keen observer of the lives of these celebrated athletes, I find it truly fascinating to witness the next generation following in their illustrious footsteps. The journey of these children, who are not just the offspring of legends but promising stars in their own right, is nothing short of inspiring.
King James is ready to reign again.
LeBron James is gradually rejoining the Los Angeles Lakers after taking a break from basketball for two games during an eight-game stretch. Although LeBron stepped back onto the court on December 15, helping the Lakers secure a 116-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, head coach JJ Redick disclosed that both LeBron (age 39) and teammate Anthony Davis didn’t participate in a full practice following the game.
As a die-hard supporter, I’m thrilled to share that during an official Lakers press conference on the 17th of December, a former NBA player revealed some exciting news about LeBron and Anthony Davis. It appears they skipped today’s team practice for a more personal session with coach Greg St. Jean. This wasn’t your typical sit-down meeting; instead, they were moving dynamically, lifting weights, and pushing their limits. The good news is, we can expect them to join the team for practice tomorrow!
As for whether Lebron will be on the court when the Lakers play the Sacramento Kings Dec. 19?
JJ informed the reporters that it’s expected, but he cautions not to take anything as definite because we need to act swiftly when making decisions.
As a die-hard fan bursting with excitement, let me share this recent update from December 11th: The ex-podcaster, now serving as our beloved Lakers’ head coach in his inaugural season, shared with reporters that our icon, LeBron, was temporarily absent from the team.
“He’s out for personal reasons,” JJ, 40, said. “excused absence.”
After their recent victory, LeBron spoke openly about the aching foot that temporarily kept him out of the game.
In his comments about his temporary absence after the Lakers’ win, as reported by ESPN, LeBron himself admitted, “Given the choice, I likely would have joined in the game.” He further explained, “It was challenging for me to stay away. However, I have a team, and I must take their concerns into account as well; they prioritize my well-being.
After his absence, it appeared that the time spent was fruitful, as he managed to score 18 points for the team’s overall tally in their matchup against the Grizzlies.
LeBron mentioned that he seized the chance to have extra time to prepare himself mentally, physically, and overall, in order to be at his best tonight. And indeed, things turned out as planned.
The athlete, who is the father of Lakers rookie LeBron ‘Bronny’ James Jr., 20, as well as Bryce, 17, and Zhuri, 10, his younger children with wife Savannah James, mentioned that he had undergone extensive rehabilitation and continued training to ensure he was in top shape for tonight’s game. He wanted to avoid getting too out of practice.
Keep reading for more on LeBron and athletes whose kids followed in their footsteps…
Born as LeBron James Jr. on October 6, 2004, Bronny James competed in high school basketball at Chatsworth Sierra Canyon, located within the San Fernando Valley. Upon graduation, he moved on to the University of Southern California.
Although the NBA schedule frequently prevents LeBron from attending all of his son’s games, he has shown a strong determination to watch Bronny perform. For instance, he even arranged for a private plane on an off-day to observe Sierra Canyon face off against his own former school, St. Vincent-St. Mary, in Akron, Ohio.
LeBron shared with reporters that he’ll be going to watch his son play, not just any game but one against his former college, and he described it as an incredibly special, almost circular, astonishing experience.
In June 2024, Bronny got selected for the Los Angeles Lakers team. This meant that he and LeBron became the initial pair of a father and son who played together in the NBA simultaneously.
Also helping to make up the Sierra Canyon all-star squad? Zaire Wade, the eldest son of retired Miami Heat star (and former LeBron James teammate) Dwyane Wade.
Zaire, who joined the team in December 2019 from Florida, expressed to Yahoo! Sports that they need to take it all in because there’s an extraordinary amount of focus on their team. “We’re constantly under the spotlight, with cameras following us everywhere,” he said. “I’ve always had a fair share of attention, but this is something else altogether. It’s a whole new level.
Nevertheless, Zaire expressed his dissatisfaction with the limited game time he received, and in April 2020, he declared via Instagram that he intended to transfer to Brewster Academy, located in Wolfeboro, Florida.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: In the 2021 NBA G League draft, I was selected as the 10th pick and joined the Salt Lake City Stars. After a stint with the Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League, I signed with an ASEAN Basketball League team in April 2024.
The former football legend has a daughter, Cha’iel Johnson, who might outshine him by this point. It’s worth noting that at just 12 years old, she participated in the 2017 AAU Junior Olympics and won the girls’ 800-meter run in track and field events.
Previously, she competed for St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florida. Later, she became a member of the sports team at the University of Kentucky.
The NBA Hall of Fame’s third-born son, standing at 6 feet 10 inches tall, played basketball for UCLA in college, but had to stop due to a heart condition needing surgical treatment.
In my role as a lifestyle expert, I would say: After sitting out the 2018-19 season due to a transfer from a California university, I found myself at Louisiana State University instead. Quite remarkably, there’s a colossal 900-pound bronze statue of Shaq outside the LSU Basketball Practice Facility, paying tribute to one of its esteemed alumni.
In the photo, Shaq’s daughter, who stands at 6 feet 2 inches tall (just like her brother Shareef O’Neal), shared news about her college enrollment in 2020. She decided to follow her sibling and attend LSU to play college basketball for the school.
At one point, she expressed that for someone my age, choosing between high school and college is particularly tough. Despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead, she feels prepared to face the challenge. Interestingly, I would have never thought I’d say this, but I am thrilled to announce that I have chosen to be a student-athlete at LSU together with my brother Shareef O’Neal. I cannot express enough gratitude for the opportunity to spend the next four years as a Tiger.
During her academic years at Sierra Canyon, the oldest child of two-time NBA All-Star Zack Randolph played basketball with another NBA progeny, Izela Arenas, who is the daughter of basketball star Gilbert Arenas.
Randolph shared in December 2020 with the Los Angeles Times that he played for coach Tom Izzo at Michigan State. He described Coach Izzo as tough and demanding, but noted that the boys could handle a certain level of roughness. In contrast, he said, the girls were more delicate and had a way of charming their coaches. He held a special affection for the girls’ team.
Mackenly stated that she had defeated her father on three separate occasions during one-on-one matches, adding humorously, “He lacks defensive skills.
In 2019, a young man who stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and is the son of an NFL Hall of Famer chose Florida Atlantic University as his preferred destination for walking on to their football team. Terique, who spent most of his life playing basketball, switched to football during his teenage years. He launched his post-high school athletic career at Contra Costa Community College before transferring to another institution.
The Sierra Canyon graduate started all four years and won two state titles. He played college ball for Vanderbilt, before signing a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2022.
Following a short spell with the NBA’s affiliated team, the South Bay Lakers, Scott Jr. secured a two-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies in the year 2024.
The legendary NBA player who once shone with the Chicago Bulls, winning an impressive five championship titles, is also known as a father.
As an ardent fan, I can’t help but share the journey of Dennis Rodman Jr., fondly known as DJ, whom I admire greatly. He honed his athletic skills in basketball and football at Corona del Mar High School, nestled in the sunny Newport Beach, California. Following his high school graduation, DJ took his game to the next level, playing forward at Washington State University. However, in 2023, he decided to transfer his talents to the University of Southern California, a move that has me on the edge of my seat with anticipation!
In a conversation with the Orange County Register following a 2017 game, Ryan Schachter, his coach, noted that he was one of the less recognized or well-known soccer players in Southern California at the time.
Despite DJ, Dennis’ son, pursuing a career in basketball like his father, his daughter, Trinity Rodman, forged her unique path in the realm of soccer. With her freshman season at Washington State Cougars getting canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she opted for the professional route and signed with Washington Spirit in 2021 and subsequently became a member of the United States women’s national soccer team in 2022.
It’s quite appropriate that the greatest golfer ever, or GOAT, has a son who shows incredible talent on the golf course. Charlie Woods, just 11 years old, made his television golf debut playing with his father at the 2020 PNC Championship.
When asked if he had been practicing his golf swing before their upcoming father-son outing, the 15-time major champion replied, “I haven’t given it much attention. I’m more focused on ensuring that Charlie has a fantastic time and gets to fully enjoy everything.
