LeBron and Bronny create the perfect fairytale weekend for the James family

LeBron James and Bronny James had weekends to remember, with the father and son making strides in their basketball careers.

The first to perform was LeBron James on Saturday night in Las Vegas as the four-time MVP led his Los Angeles Lakers team to the inaugural NBA Cup against the Indiana Pacers.

James scored 24 points, eleven rebounds, and four assists as the Lakers defeated the young and hungry Pacers team 109-123 in the championship game.

The victory on Sunday now means James is 8-0 in deciding games in his NBA career, a record that may continue to come in handy as the NBA Playoffs get closer.

James capped off his perfect weekend by winning the first NBA Cup MVP award after averaging 26.4 points, eight rebounds, and 7.6 assists.

His NBA Cup MVP award is the 12th MVP of his career, securing four regular season MVPs, four Finals MVPs, and three All-Star MVPs before his recent addition to the collection.

Despite his success over the weekend, 'The King' would have been most proud of watching his son Bronny play his first college game for the University of Southern California.

Bronny James made his college debut on Sunday night just five months after suffering from a cardiac arrest that could have ended his basketball career.

The 19-year-old finished the game with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in 16 minutes on Sunday night against Long Beach State after starting the game on the bench.

Bronny only made one field goal in the game, but his work on the defensive end stood out in his debut, raising the roof with a signature chase-down block and grabbing three defensive rebounds and two steals.

Bronny's return to the court was more highly anticipated than the game itself, but USC failed to capitalize on the energy in the building, losing 79-84.

Despite the loss, the return of Bronny James was a happy sight for basketball fans across the world after fully recovering from his life-or-death situation.

According to talksport.com, Bronny said: "I just wanted to say I'm thankful for everything, The Mayo Clinic and everything they helped me with, my parents and siblings supporting me through this hard time in my life. I want to give appreciation to everyone who's helped me through this."

His dad, LeBron, couldn't hold back how proud he was of his son, writing a lengthy tribute on Instagram about how emotional his debut was for the basketball GOAT.

According to @kingjames on Instagram, LeBron said: "Can't even tell y'all how EMOTIONAL today was for me! I'm literally drained and all I can say is @bronny you're simply INCREDIBLE!!"

"Damn, the wins and losses that will occur. You've already won the ultimate goal/championship, and that's LIFE!! Proud of you kid, and today you've given me more life! Thank you, and I love you."
