Bronny James recently revealed the last time he played 1-on-1 against his dad. According to the 21-year-old, LeBron James broke the backboard in their Miami home. Bronny James also claimed that he won the game.
LeBron James addressed his son’s public comments after Monday’s win. The four-time NBA champion confirmed the backboard incident.
“Yeah, we had a hoop in our driveway, and I drove around him and dunked it,” LeBron James said. “I didn’t mean to shatter the glass, but yeah, I shattered it.”
After being further pressed about the 1-on-1 game, LeBron James revealed that he actually won the contest.
“Yeah, he made a couple of shots, but that’s like Miami Bron,” LeBron James said. “That’s like invincible Bron. So, it’s not like he was about to win.
“Yeah, I didn’t mean to shatter that. I had to buy another one.”

As LeBron James said, this happened during his time with the Miami Heat. It was during his prime, and he is adamant that his son, who was still a teenager back then, did not stand much of a chance against “invincible Bron.”
