Lakers News: Watch LeBron And Bronny James Rock Out In New Beats By Dre Commercial
Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James and his eldest son, 18-year-old high school senior LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., are appearing in a long-form joint commercial to promote the latest Beats By Dre ear wear: Beats Fit Pro.
In the spot, LeBron James outfits himself in Beats Fit Pro earbuds and works on some snazzy dribbling, launching a few jumpers, until one clatters around the rim and ultimately bounces away -- to be rebounded by Bronny, who turns on a different Beats soundtrack. The Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth pro prospect and his pops, an 18-time All-Star, face off in a 90-second face-off with ever-shifting music.
The new audio gear retails for $199.99 on Beats' official site. Beats Fit Pro earbuds boast on-device controls that let consumers manage their music selections, receive phone calls and use a voice assistant.

LeBron would turn 40 during the 2024-25 season. He is technically under contract with the Lakers that year, but could opt out of his
James recently told Chris Ballard of Sports Illustrated that he hoped to play alongside both his sons, Bronny and 15-year-old Bryce, in the NBA at some point. If that were to be the case, James would be in the league well into his 40s.
King James kicks off his 20th season tomorrow, when the Lakers face off against the reigning champion Golden State Warriors.
