Lebron and Bronny James aren't the only Los Angeles Lakers excited for the duo to hit the court together.

Big man Anthony Davis, entering his sixth season with the Lakers, is also excited to see the father-son duo share the court, but for very different reasons, as he mentioned in an interview with Spectrum SportsNet.

“He definitely has to,” Davis said when asked if the team wanted Bronny to dunk against the 39-year-old LeBron.

After playing alongside LeBron on the Lakers for five seasons, Davis shared his thoughts on the excitement within the organization as he witnessed the first father-son duo to play on the same team in the NBA.

“I know it was a great experience for them, a great moment for them when they heard his name called to the Lakers,” Davis said. “It was a great moment for me to be with the family so much.”

Davis joked about how he called LeBron on draft night and expressed that he wanted to talk to his new teammate Bronny instead.

Davis, LeBron, Bronny and the Lakers will open their preseason on Friday, October 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
