Over 20 seasons in the NBA, LeBron James has faced nine father-son duos. So which one has he scored the most points against? 3. The Robinsons 2. The Paytons 1. ?
Jabari Jr. isn’t the first son of a former James opponent to make the legend feel old. The Smiths are the ninth father-son pair LeBron has faced in his illustrious career.
A twist to this exercise, James is hoping to become a father-son NBA duo as early as the 2024-25 NBA season, when Bronny becomes eligible to play in the league. The elder James has expressed his desire to play on the same team as Bronny, but has softened that stance recently, saying that he’d settle for playing on the same NBA court as his son.
Bronny, currently the No. 28 prospect in his class according to both ESPN and 247Sports, may not be an obvious one-and-done candidate, but the possibility exists that we could see two James donning NBA jerseys in the same game.A quick note: We’re only accounting for father-sons on this list. Other family pairings, such as uncle-nephews , cousins and brothers have been spared from this exercise.First game against Glen Rice Jr.: Nov.
Gary Jr., who plays a far different style than his bruising father did, first faced LeBron in his second year. The Lakers defeated Trent’s Blazers 128-120 as James scored 21 points and had 16 assists. Trent scored three points in eight minutes off the bench.First game against Adrian Griffin: Feb. 25, 2004James faced the elder Griffin six times in his career, but in the pair’s first game, Adrian only got 40 seconds of court time and didn’t record a basket.
, 18-year-old LeBron had arguably his best game to that point, scoring 36 points and hitting a then-career-high five 3s. Cleveland beat Philadelphia 88-81 despite Robinson’s team-high 18 points.His son, who was also playing for the 76ers, had his career game against James’ Lakers in 2020. Playing 31 minutes off the bench, he poured in a career-high 25 points on 15 shots, outscoring James, who put up 22. The eventual-champion Lakers won, however, 120-107, as LeBron dished 14 assists.
