As Bronny James leaves the scene after witnessing his baby emerge, the footage shows the famed NBA player loading up his car with cereal. Cereal spills over the driveway from the 20-year-old player's loaded vehicle as soon as he unlocks the door. LeBron insists that Bronny clean up the mess that his dad made as a result of his prank, but not before yanking his son's leg. He does this while sporting a mischievous look. LeBron yells, "Hey Rook, you better not be late."

During Preseason they became first father-son duo to play in NBA

The Seattle Mariners' Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., the first father-son combo in Major League Baseball history to accomplish the same feat in 1990, supported the dream club. They watched the Lakers' season opening versus the Minnesota Timberwolves from courtside at the Crypto.com Arena in California. During pregame warmups, the two father-son pairings happened to cross paths, and their shared clicks immediately went viral.
