LeBron James Celebrates Historic Father-Son NBA Moment

LeBron James and his son Bronny James made NBA history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together on the same team during the Los Angeles Lakers’ preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. The game, which ended in a 118-114 defeat for the Lakers, marked a significant milestone as it was the first time in NBA history that a father and son played together in any game including preseason matches.

Bronny made his debut on his 20th birthday, entering the court during the second quarter. Following the game, LeBron expressed his emotions on social media, stating, “Wow, that was surreal.” In a press conference, he described the moment: “We came out of a timeout and stood next to each other. I kind of looked at him. It felt like being in The Matrix; it just didn’t feel real. But it was great to have those moments.”

LeBron Jmaes had an impressive performance, scoring 19 points while contributing four assists and five rebounds. In contrast, Bronny did not score during his 13 minutes on the court, finishing with two rebounds and four turnovers. Bronny joined the Lakers as a second-round draft pick from the University of Southern California in June. LeBron, now 39, is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and a four-time champion, entering his 22nd season.

After Bronny joined the franchise, he signed a new two-year deal with the Lakers. The 2024-25 NBA season kicks off on October 22 with the Lakers set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves after the Boston Celtics take on the New York Knicks.
