(28,833 posts)I'm not sure what there would be to be jealous about. I don't think most people aspire to be universally mocked for a silly publicity stunt. Though, I guess social media might be an argument to the contrary.

I know it's been done in hockey with Gordie Howe and two sons.

(69,745 posts)...what if the wish to play as father & son is not what the son wants?
It's going to be hard enough to enter the NBA as Lebron's son. Then the circus of the 2 of them together.
Not saying he doesn't want that. But, what if?
I think that might affect his retirement decision if he doesn't hang on for that "goal".

"I got a lot to think about," James said after the game. "Just personally, with me moving forward with the game of basketball, I got a lot to think about."
