I'm not sure what there would be to be jealous about. I don't think most people aspire to be universally mocked for a silly publicity stunt. Though, I guess social media might be an argument to the contrary.

Hope he does stick around to enjoy that. Has there ever been a father/son combo to play in basketball?

I know it's been done in hockey with Gordie Howe and two sons.

...what if the wish to play as father & son is not what the son wants?
It's going to be hard enough to enter the NBA as Lebron's son. Then the circus of the 2 of them together.
Not saying he doesn't want that. But, what if?
I think that might affect his retirement decision if he doesn't hang on for that "goal".
