LeBron James Swaps Sneakers for Spikes: Golf Outing with Bronny Offers Rare Respite Amid Lakers' Playoff Push
LeBron James is chasing another trophy, but his latest viral moment came not on the hardwood, but on the fairway.
As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare for their NBA Cup Quarter Finals clash with the San Antonio Spurs on December 10, James briefly traded his sneakers for spikes, sharing a golf outing with his son Bronny on Instagram.[1] The photo shows Bronny lining up a shot while LeBron looks on, a rare quiet scene amid a grueling stretch that saw the Lakers play back-to-back games against the Raptors, Celtics, and 76ers.[1]
LeBron captioned the post “My happy place lately,” a simple line that says plenty about where his head is as he enters yet another high-stakes moment late in his career.[1] At 40 and in his 23rd NBA season, he has talked openly about how long it takes his body to find its rhythm, especially after injuries and missed time.[2] Yet on the court he still delivers vintage bursts: after a rough night in Toronto that snapped his 1,297-game double-digit scoring streak, he erupted for 29 points and 10 straight in the fourth quarter to beat Philadelphia 112–108, sealing the win with a fadeaway jumper and a signature crown celebration.[2]
The golf snapshot with Bronny adds a softer layer to that competitive edge. This is not a one-off; James has spent much of recent offseasons on the course and frequently posts clips of Bronny’s swing, clearly proud of his progress.[1] Golf has also connected him with stars from other sports and entertainment, from champion golfer Nelly Korda, whose Nike golf line he has promoted, to comedian Kevin Hart, who has publicly challenged him to a match in 2026.[1]
Bronny, meanwhile, is carving out his own path in the Lakers organization. Still finding consistency at the NBA level and in the G League, he remains a developmental priority for the franchise, which has him under contract through 2028.[3] He has shown flashes as an energy guard off the bench, and the team continues to invest minutes and patience in his growth.[3][4]
That context makes the father-son golf image resonate even more. LeBron is balancing three roles at once: aging superstar trying to push the Lakers toward another in-season title, mentor and teammate to a revamped roster headlined by Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, and father guiding Bronny through the pressure-filled beginnings of a professional career with his last name on the marquee.[2][4]
As the NBA Cup Quarter Finals loom, the message from LeBron’s feed is clear. The work continues, but whenever possible, it starts from his “happy place” — a quiet tee box, a golf club in hand, and his son by his side, just before the lights come back on and the chase for wins resumes.
