Windhorst stated that the Lakers are working to maximize LeBron’s potential.

Many are very skeptical and critical of the Lakers’ decision to draft LeBron’s son Bronny James, but Brian Windhorst reveals an ulterior motive.

Of course, being one of the most GOATed players in NBA history means you can make demands, and no doubt LeBron asked for his son to be drafted as the 55th pick by the purple and gold.

Many prominent members of the media and even former Lakers players like Magic Johnson have criticised the decision and said that Bronny belongs in the G-League.

LA wasted no time getting Bronny and LeBron out on the court together on Opening Night.

Some say it might be overkill, but Windhorst explains that having Bronny around is the best way for the Lakers to keep LeBron productive in his twilight years.

“What the Lakers are doing here is trying to get the most out of LeBron,” Windhorst said.

“This is an investment, not just in history, it’s an investment in engaging and energizing your franchise player at age 39. And I think it’s working. LeBron is completely engaged and energized, and I think JJ Redick is making a smart move by totally leaning into this and totally embracing this.”

No doubt LeBron wants to play his best when his son is on the court or watching on from the bench.

LeBron scored 16 points, five rebounds and four assists on 43.8 percent shooting from the field in LA’s win over Minnesota.

New Lakers coach JJ Redick was so locked into the game he almost missed the historic moment between father and son.

“In the battle of competition, I was wondering during a dead ball why everybody started cheering so loud, and then I realized what was happening and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. That’s cool,’” said Redick, per the Los Angeles Times’ Dan Woike.
