LeBron James had a hectic weekend in which he first helped Lakers ease past Miami Heat and then flew to Columbus, Ohio, to watch son Bronny play a high school game. He thoroughly enjoyed the match and couldn't contain his happiness as a proud father when his son Bronny scored 15 points against James' alma mater St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Bronny James also returned with the MVP trophy and was playing for his high school – Sierra Canyon School. After attending his son's match, LeBron flew to Atlanta to join his team LA Lakers to face Atlanta Hawks. Despite the hectic schedule, LeBron James put on a show on the court scoring 32 points to lead the visiting Lakers to a 101-96 win over the Hawks to help his side extend their road winning streak to 14 games.
