LeBron and Bronny James are poised to create history as the first-ever father-son pair to compete together in the NBA on Tuesday … that is, contingent on whether Bronny can actually arrive at the game on schedule — as the King hilariously stuffed the rookie’s vehicle with cereal!!
The Lakers stars featured in a recent Nike advertisement that was released just prior to their home opener versus the Minnesota Timberwolves … where the G.O.A.T. engages in a bit of rookie hazing at the expense of his own son.
In the advertisement, LeBron is captured pouring an assortment of Fruity Pebbles into his son’s BMW X6 before dashing out of view once Bronny exits the house and heads towards the driveway.
Don’t be tardy ROOK! 🤣🤴🏾👑🫡 pic.twitter.com/zxR6O8ewJp

As the 20-year-old opened the door to his ride in preparation for the Los Angeles traffic … he discovered the mess his father had created and sighed in disbelief — only for Bron to reappear in the back of a Rolls-Royce, observing his prank take place.
“Hey rookie, make sure you’re not late,” he called out as his vehicle pulled up to the front of the house.
Bron instructed Bronny to tidy up his driveway … to which Bronny humorously remarked that his father is “too old for this nonsense.”
This is quite an entertaining ad, but the cereal segment seems to be a result of some impressive CGI … hence, no real damage done.
We’ll discover shortly whether Bronny earns his first authentic minutes in the NBA … which will undeniably be an unforgettable experience for the family.
