It's been a bittersweet couple of hours for LeBron James, for sure. The 17-year veteran led the Los Angeles Lakers to a statement win vs. the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals but his celebration was cut short after he saw his older son Bronny James trending on social media.
Thing is, the young King made a huge mistake on his Instagram account and accidentally posted a story of him smoking a joint to celebrate his dad's victory, even adding "We smokin' that Nuggets pack tonight".
Needless to say, the 15-year-old was pretty quick to delete the Instagram stories but the damage was already done. The images flooded the internet in a matter of seconds just a couple of minutes after his father's post-game press conference.
Obviously, the attention and focus of the people shifted right away and went from lauding LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers' efforts to the King's potential reaction to those images of his teenage son's celebration. Check out the funniest memes and reactions about it:

We all make mistakes at that age and Bronny is definitely going to have an earful for this. LeBron James has always had a reputation for being a caring father and devoted family man, so he's definitely on top of the situation right now.
Bronny is expected to be an elite recruit for NCAA basketball and a lottery pick in the NBA Draft when his time comes and this incident isn't likely to hurt his stock, considering his privileged gene pool. Then again, it'll be a long time before the internet ever lets this go, so Bronny, LeBron, and the James household better be ready for even more memes until the end of time.
