LeBron James had the best of intentions when he named his first child LeBron James Jr. But the Lakers superstar says he now wishes he hadn’t.
“I still regret giving my [13]-year-old my name because of that,” said James, who was raised by his mother, Gloria James. “When I was younger, I didn’t have a dad. So my whole thing was like, whenever I have a kid, not only is he going to be a junior, I’m gonna do everything that this man didn’t do.
“They’re going to experience things that I didn’t experience. The only thing I can do is give them the blueprint, and it’s up to them to take their own course.
