Thursday also brought news the NBA wanted LeBron and his son, Bronny to become the first father-son duo to participate in one aspect of All-Star Weekend. But they declined.

LeBron James and his son Bronny were invited to take part in the Skills Challenge at the upcoming NBA All-Star Game, but that invitation was declined.

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.
