  "account": "Bronny James shared a heartwarming summer with his father, LeBron James, as they prepare for a new NBA chapter. LeBron posted a series of photos and videos from their time together on the golf course, showcasing a more personal side of their relationship away from basketball. In his caption, LeBron expressed the deep significance of these moments, revealing how emotional they can become for him. The post came as the James family enjoyed a final stretch of a summer before their basketball paths would separate. LeBron will join the Philadelphia 76ers for his first season away from their longtime home in Los Angeles, while Bronny enters his third NBA season without his father on the court. The photos and videos were captured by freelance photographer Abigail Keenan Field, who was thanked by LeBron for documenting the special moments. While basketball remains central to the James family's life, golf has become another shared activity for LeBron and Bronny, with Bronny's swing drawing attention from NBA fans and even a professional golfer.",
