The Los Angeles Lakers father-son duo of LeBron James and Bronny James have declined the NBA All-Star weekend invite, according to Chris Haynes on X. The news doesn't come as too much of a surprise. After all, James weighed in on the new NBA All-Star game format.

So, while the elder James will be jet-setting out to the rat-infested Paris of the West to buddy up with the league’s other All-Stars — including the first Knickerbocker starting duo in 50 years — his first-born will be at home. Or, more likely, the gym.

Lakers players LeBron James and Bronny James reportedly declined an invitation to participate in the Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend.
