LeBron James' kids have gotten a taste of his stardom simply by hanging around the NBA icon over the years. 
 
 They've apparently also gotten a taste of his wine. 
 
 Asked this week in advance of his Los Angeles Lakers debut what kind of pop culture he's picked up from younger teammates, LeBron told reporters that his two oldest sons -- LeBron Jr. and Bryce -- are into pretty much the same kinds of things, so he gets a sneak peek at the next generation from home. 
 
 "Everything that they (his teammates) listen to these days, my 14-year-old and my 11-year-old, they watch, too," James told USA Today's Josh Peter. 
 
 In an apparent effort to prove his sons are up to date with his young Lakers teammates, James revealed a little secret about the boys' drinking habits in the process. 
 
 "I got very mature 14- and 11-year-olds," he said. "My 14- and 11-year-olds drink wine. That's how mature they are." 
 
 (Pause for a second and imagine the James household. Is it really surprising to think that LeBron and his crew of future ballers might occasionally sit around a marble fireplace in their Los Angeles mansion and toast with a glass of red? We didn't think so.) 
 
 "They'll be driving next week, too," James joked.

 When asked what kind of wine the kids drink, LeBron left reporters guessing before taking the blame for any criticism that might come his way. 
 
 "Whatever dad's and mom's having," he said. "Put it on me, though. Don't put it on moms. Put it on dad. Put it on dad."

 EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — LeBron James, who is a wine connoisseur, said his 11-year-old and 14-year-old sons also drink wine. 
 
 “Yeah, that’s how mature they are," he said Tuesday after the Los Angeles Lakers’ practice at the team’s training facility. 
 
 “They’ll be driving next week, too," James added with a chuckle while drawing laughter from the media. 
 
 James said his children drink “whatever dad’s and mom’s having. Put it on me, though. Don’t put it on mom (Savannah). Put it on dad, put it on dad." 
 
 James made the remark after explaining that he doesn’t pick up anything about music or movies in the popular culture because he’s exposed to it thanks to his 14-year-old, LeBron James Jr., better known as “Bronny,’’ and his 11-year-old, Bryce. James and his wife also has a 3-year-old daughter, Zhuri 
 
 “You know, everything that they (James’ Lakers teammates) listen to or are watching these days, my 14-year-old and my 11-year-old are watching as well," James said.
– LeBron James' sons are apparently older than their years—much older—in some ways. "I got very mature 14- and 11-year-olds. My 14- and 11-year-olds drink wine. That's how mature they are," the Los Angeles Lakers star and wine connoisseur said after practice Tuesday, per USA Today and CBS Sports. They drink "whatever Dad's and Mom's having. Put it on me, though. Don't put it on Mom (Savannah). Put it on Dad, put it on Dad." He joked that LeBron James Jr., 14, and Bryce, 11, will "be driving next week, too."
