LeBron James and his son Bronny are set to be the first father-son duo in the NBA, yet the rookie appeared to be the victim of a huge prank that was orchestrated by his dad.

This was seen as James Sr. & Jr. appeared in a Nike commercial, which dropped hours before Tuesday night's season opener vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
LeBron posted the clip on his social media, which showed him with a huge smile while filling up his son's BMW X6 with boxes of Fruity Pebbles.

Then he appeared to hide as his 20-year-old Bronny walked up to his vehicle and opened the front door, which led to the cereal spilling all over.
LeBron, in the backseat of a Rolls Royce, pulled up at the end of the driveway, and was heard talking to his son.
"Hey rook, you better not be late."
Bronny, surprised by his 40-year-old dad's shenanigans, responded, "Are you serious?"
Then LeBron told Bronny to clean up his driveway, as he drove away.
With this in mind, in hopes of making it to the game on time, Bronny may need to find a ride to beat the LA traffic.
As fans hope to see Bronny make an appearance during the first game of the season, all things are pointing to this actually happening.
ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst reported, "I would expect, as long as the game is going okay, be in your seat at the start of the 2nd quarter."

Notably, LeBron, who is entering into his 22nd season in the league, has an opportunity to share the court with his son, which will undoubtedly be a special moment that has never been done before in the NBA.
