Floyd Mayweather reacts to LeBron James' new Lakers contract in bizarre way

The Los Angeles Lakers have drafted Bronny James, the eldest son of superstar LeBron James, with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. This draft choice sets the stage for an unprecedented event, as fans will see the first father-son duo play on the same NBA team.

LeBron has further solidified his place with the Lakers by signing a two-year contract extension worth $101.35 million, reinforcing his status among the few athletes worldwide with a net worth exceeding $1 billion.

Bronny, following a season at the University of Southern California, where he averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists over 25 games, has signed a four-year deal with the Lakers worth $7.9 million.

As the basketball community anticipates the unique father-son collaboration on the court, Floyd Mayweather has shared his excitement for the James family.

Mayweather's remarks on LeBron-Bronny duo

In an interview with Fight Hype during Curmel Moton's recent bout, Mayweather was asked about his thoughts on LeBron and Bronny potentially playing together. Mayweather expressed his enthusiastic support and wished them the best of luck, highlighting the significance of this historic pairing.

"I want to see all young athletes do good. Why not?" Mayweather noted. "You know I had my time, just like LeBron had his time. LeBron still got his time-he's still performing well and we still want to see LeBron do good as well as his son.

"I'm proud of [LeBron] no matter what. I'm not here to count another man's pocket."
