"Bronny, get back! Don't foul, take a charge": Lakers superstar LeBron James tries to coach his son through the TV

Since LeBron James couldn’t make it to his son’s first Nike EYBL game of 2021, the superstar was found coaching Bronny through the TV.

This last month, for the first time in his 18-year career, LeBron James was knocked out of the first round of the playoffs. LBJ and his Lakers didn’t quite have the success they hoped for, following a 2020 NBA Championship.

After losing to a Chris Paul-led Phoenix Suns team in the playoffs, Bron immediately revealed that he wouldn’t be representing Team USA this summer. This offseason, between promoting his upcoming movie “Space Jam: A New Legacy” and attending his sons’ basketball games, the King has been pretty busy.

The 17-time All-Star loves to play the role of a family man. And like a proud father, he never misses the chance of attending his sons’ basketball games. However, due to the premiere of his upcoming movie, Bron couldn’t attend his elder son, Bronny’s first Nike EYBL game of 2021.

LeBron James was spotted coaching Bronny through the TV at home

We all know, James is a passionate man when it comes to basketball. Since he wasn’t able to coach Bronny from the bleachers, King James decided to coach and cheer his 16-year-old son through the TV. His wife Savannah James recently posted a video, where Bron was seen all pumped up and was heard saying:

“Get up the floor”
“Handle the pressure”
“Knock it down, Bronny!”
“Get back. Get back.”
“Don’t foul. Don’t foul”
“Take a charge, Bronny.”

He even got hyped up when the refs called a foul on Bronny’s team:

“Oh my god! They called a foul?! They called a foul?! What the fu…”

Fans went crazy seeing Lebron go all coach mode in his house.

LeBron would surely be pleased with Bronny and his team – Strive For Greatness’ performance, who won their first match of this tournament defeating “Seattle Rotary” 74-70.
