And apparently, James’ sons, Bronny Jr. and Bryce Maximus, sometimes join in, too. While speaking to reporters during a practice session at the Los Angeles Lakers’ facility in El Segundo on Tuesday, 33-year-old James was asked about what new things about movies and music he’s learned from his younger teammates. “You know, everything that they listen to or are watching these days, my 14-year-old and my 11-year-old are watching as well,” James said, according to USA Today. “I got very mature 14- and 11-year-olds.” “My 14- and 11-year-olds drink wine, that’s how mature they are,” James — who also shares 3-year-old Zhuri will his wife, Savannah James —added.

When asked if his sons drink red or white wine, James said they usually have whatever he and Savannah are drinking. “Put it on me, though. Don’t put it on moms,” he noted, though. “Put it on dad, put it on dad.” On Wednesday night, James and the Lakers will face off against the Golden State Warriors in a preseason game, which will be their first match-up since a wild summer that saw both teams make dramatic additions to their rosters.
