LeBron James pulled a playful prank on his son, Bronny James, in a new Nike commercial, just hours before the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA season opener. The ad showcases a lighthearted moment between the father-son duo, highlighting Bronny’s rookie debut in the NBA alongside his legendary dad.
The commercial starts with LeBron emptying a box of Fruity Pebbles through the sunroof of Bronny’s car, only to hide when Bronny steps outside. When Bronny opens the car door, a cascade of rainbow cereal pours out, leaving him baffled. LeBron, watching from a distance, jokingly tells Bronny, “Hey rook, you better not be late!” as Bronny responds, “Yo, are you serious?”

The Nike logo then appears, confirming the prank as part of the ad campaign, which celebrates the bond between LeBron and Bronny as they make history playing on the same team.
During a post-game interview after the Lakers' 110-103 win against Minnesota, Bronny laughed about the prank, expressing relief that it wasn’t his actual car. LeBron, 40, humorously pointed out that Bronny now has multiple cars to choose from.
The Nike ad has already gained significant online attention, with fans loving the playful interaction between the iconic father-son duo.
