“My 14 and 11-year-olds drink wine”: LeBron James

LeBron always makes decisions that will help his kids. However, there are a few decisions that he takes that might be promoted by other parents. For instance, no parent would let their 11-year-old consume alcohol.

Back in 2018, King James revealed that he allowed 14-year-old Bronny James and 11-year-old Bryce James to consume alcohol. More specifically, the 6-foot-9 star said that his sons would have whatever wine he and Savannah James were having.

The reason behind allowing them to drink alcohol? Maturity. Bron believes his children are incredibly mature. The NBA icon even went to joke that his children would end up driving the very next week as well.

“My 14 and 11-year-olds drink wine. That’s how mature they are. They’ll be driving next week too,” LeBron stated.

Further, James gladly took the blame, stating that this permission had nothing to do with his wife.

“Put it on me, though. Don’t put it on moms. Put it on dad. Put it on dad,” James said.

Bronny and Bryce might be more mature than the other kids of their age. However, LeBron James, it is illegal for kids below 21 years of age to consume alcohol.
