LeBron James and Bronny James Spill the Tea for Lakers

Merlin sees LeBron and son Bronny trading jokes in a Lakers "Spill the Tea" clip, with LeBron admitting "I actually don't feel the residue or whatever, the leftover chalk dust" and calling media day his "welcome to the Lakers" moment. The exchange underscores their chemistry and the fact they became the first father son duo to share the court in 2024 25. On the court LeBron is still producing 20.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists, while Bronny has been efficient in the G League with 15.5 points and 5.0 assists on tidy shooting splits but has not carved out a steady NBA role. Merlin senses the smiles carry meaning. The family story boosts team culture and gives Bronny a rare mentor in real time. His G League numbers are a good omen, yet adapting to NBA defense and timing will decide if those sparks turn into real minutes.
