LeBron James' five-word reaction to son Bronny's shot during a LA Lakers match has been picked up amid trade rumours.

James, 40, is one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA.

So far in his career, the American has played for the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Having won four NBA championships, it has been said that James would like to add at least another ring to his CV before calling him on his career.

Recently, James has been heavily linked with a move away from the Lakers, with the Dallas Mavericks a potential destination for the NBA’s all-time point scorer.

As reported by ESPN's Dave McMenamin, any moves would only happen if the Lakers were to buy out James’ current mega-money contract.

The uncertainty surrounding James' future will also have an impact on his son, Bronny, who was drafted by the Lakers at the start of last season.

The 20-year-old has seen his play time alternate between the Lakers and minor G League affiliate South Bay Lakers.

Recently, James' five-word reaction to a shot by his son went viral on social media.

The 40-year-old was captured on video and appeared to say: "He learnt that from me!"

Taking to social media, James also sent a message to his son, he wrote on Instagram: "Keep going kid! Only you know your personal legend!"

According to The Athletic, it is expected that James will be with the Lakers for the training camp when the new season begins.

The report stated: "Amid the constant speculation recently about his future, both the Lakers and people close to the NBA’s all-time leading scorer expect that he will be with the organization for training camp once the season begins this fall, league sources told The Athletic.

"Those same sources said the Lakers have received no indication from James or his representatives that he would request a trade or ask to be bought out of the final year of his contract, which will be his eighth season with the Lakers, the longest consecutive stretch spent with one organization in his career."
