LeBron James and his son, Bronny James , have passed on the opportunity to make history once again. The duo declined invitations to participate in the 2025 Kia Skills Challenge at the NBA All-Star weekend, according to league insider Chris Haynes. They would have been the first father-son pair to compete in the Skills Challenge. The report also indicated that Bronny James did not accept an invitation to join the Rising Stars team as a G League player.
This year's NBA All-Star weekend will be held in San Francisco, home of the Golden State Warriors. The Jameses already made history in the Lakers' season opener, marking the first time a father and son played together in the same NBA game. Los Angeles selected Bronny James with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft out of USC. He has appeared in 11 NBA games this season, averaging just 2.3 minutes of playing time. He has been shuttling back and forth between the Los Angeles Lakers and their G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers. In seven G League games, the younger James has played 26.9 minutes per contest, averaging 13.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, while shooting 36.6/21.2/66.7. Meanwhile, the 40-year-old LeBron James is averaging 23.7 points, 9.0 assists, and 7.5 rebounds per game, shooting 51.3/39.8/76.3. He was named an All-Star for a record 21st time on Thursday. The Lakers entered their Thursday night matchup against the Boston Celtics at 23-18, good for the fifth seed in the Western Conference.
