The Los Angeles Lakers secured a hard-fought 104-99 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, but the night’s most talked-about highlight came from a heartwarming exchange between LeBron James and his son, Bronny James. LeBron delivered in crunch time, sinking two decisive three-pointers in the closing minutes of the game.
James’ iconic celebration
As the crowd erupted in cheers, he capped the moment with his signature “silencer” celebration, an iconic move that has become synonymous with his biggest plays.
On the sidelines, Bronny James stole the show by enthusiastically mimicking his dad’s celebration, a moment that brought smiles to fans and teammates. The father-son connection became an instant hit, with the gesture radiating the joy and pride they share for each other.
A clip of Bronny recreating the move quickly made waves on social media after being posted by House of Highlights. LeBron later shared the viral moment on his Instagram story, fueling even more excitement among fans.
“Just living in the moment, being able to still make plays and make big shots at this point in my career,” James said.
“That’s what you live for. You never will be able to get those moments back when you’re done.
“When you don’t have it as much as you would like to have it, you lean on your next guy next to you. And I think we all did that.
“We all lean on the next guy to the side of us. And that’s how we was able to get it as a unit because you can’t do it on yourself. You can’t do it by yourself.”
