LeBron James wants his sons to play in the NBA.

LeBron James recently signed a contract extension with the LA Lakers and will stay with the team for at least two more years. This means that he will have a chance to potentially team up with his son, Bronny James.

The Lakers forward has dominated the league for many years and one of his final goals is to team up with his son.

Nick Wright believes there is nothing wrong with James' attempts to bring his son into the league.

"I'm gonna try to be very clear because I think it's so obvious what LeBron is doing," Wright said on the latest episode of What's Wright? With Nick Wright. "And you can say it's bad, it is exactly what I would do if I were in his position."

Wright also pointed out how he's done something similar by hiring members of his family to help him on the podcast.

"In a very different version, it's what I have done in his position in my field. Leverage his own power to try to get his kid foot in the door somewhere he otherwise wouldn't have the chance."

LeBron James is not the only player who has helped his family

LeBron James gets criticized very often, so it's not surprising that some people dislike the idea of his sons coming into the league. However, he is not the only player who has opened the door for family members.

Nick Wright pointed out how Seth Curry has gotten a lot of chances in the NBA thanks to his brother Steph Curry. Seth has established himself as a great role player and one of the best shooters in the league.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has also helped his brothers Thanasis, Kostas and Alex make a mark.

NBA superstars have a lot of influence, so it's not surprising that they use it to help their close ones. LeBron James is one of the greatest players of all time and is definitely no exception to the rule.

If everything goes according to plan, Bronny James will be eligible for the 2024 draft. He's not one of the top prospects yet, but he's still very young and has time to improve.

James' contract extension will keep him in LA until 2025. However, it's important to note that the four-time NBA champion has a player option in the final year of his contract. In other words, he could terminate the contract in 2024.

When his son enters the league, James will be 39. Considering that he is still performing at an elite level, it won't be surprising if he dominates the league alongside his son.
