LeBron will not let Bronny call him “dad” on the court.

“No, he can’t; we already laid that down,” LeBron said on the new episode of The Shop. “Once we leave, out of the practice facility, and the gates close, I could be ‘Dad’ again, in the car if we ride together. At home, I could be ‘Dad.’ No, he gotta call me ’2-3′ or ‘Bron,’ or ‘GOAT’ [greatest of all time] if he wants to. It’s up to him. I mean, it’s up to him.”

“It’s easy for me because I’ve been calling him ‘Bronny’ for so long,” he continued. “It’s not like I’ve been, ‘Hey son, hey son.’ So it’s easy for me. It’s gonna be an adjustment for him. We cannot be running down the court, and he’d be like, ‘Dad, Push the ball up! Dad, I’m open! Dad, come on!’”

The first pre-season game will happen on October 4.
