LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., the eldest son of NBA superstar LeBron James and his wife Savannah, celebrated his 16th birthday today (October 6).
Unfortunately, LeBron James is currently in the NBA bubble with his Los Angeles Lakers as they take on the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals, so he isn’t home to celebrate. However, LeBron made sure Bronny knew he was loved on his special day with an emotional birthday post. He posted a few photos of himself and Bronny on his Instagram and in the caption he wrote a passionate birthday message to his son, which read:
“Happy 16 kid!!!!! 1 of a kind and I’ve loved every second of your existence so far in your young promising life! You’re SPECIAL kid (always know that)! Continue to grow and continue to lead your generation to heights maybe you didn’t even think was possible because you guys are simply that SPECIAL!!

Love you kid until the wheels fall off and when they do we push the car to our destination side by side! Enjoy your day, your existence, your LIFE!! Live.Laugh.Learn.Love! bronny #YoungSimba.”
Savannah James also took to Instagram to wish her firstborn son a happy birthday. She posted a picture of Bronny and captioned the post: “Happy 16th Birthday to the young man who first taught me what it means to be a mother!!! I am proud of you ALWAYS, I love you DEEP and I am so BLESSED to have been chosen for you!! #MyHeadsomeHead #GiverOfStretchmarks *insider.”
In the comments section, Bronny received many birthday wishes, including a few from some big names, such as rapper Snoop Dogg, who wrote, “Happy. C day 2 da prince good job king and queen ” and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal who wrote, “Happy birthday nephew.”
