LeBron, Bronny James Make History as First Father-Son Duo to Play in an NBA Game

Posted : 23 October 2024

LeBron James and his son Bronny made history as the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA game during the Los Angeles Lakers' season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This highly anticipated moment occurred with just four minutes left in the first half, as coach JJ Redick introduced them to the crowd during the Lakers' 110-103 victory. The sold-out audience at the Crypto.com Arena erupted in cheers when the duo took the court while the Lakers held a comfortable 51-35 lead.

 

Earlier this month, the James family had the opportunity to share the court during a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns, but the regular season opener marked a significant milestone in their basketball journey. After the game, LeBron reflected on the moment, emphasizing the importance of family. He expressed his gratitude for being able to work alongside Bronny, stating, "I lost a lot of time because of this league, so to be able to have this moment... it's one of the greatest gifts I've ever got from the man above."

 

The game was particularly special for the James family, with Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. watching from courtside. The Griffeys made Major League Baseball history by playing together for the Seattle Mariners in the early '90s, and their presence underscored the significance of the occasion for the James family. In his brief playing time, Bronny, 20, recorded three minutes on the court, missing both field-goal attempts but grabbing an offensive rebound, while LeBron contributed eight points and three rebounds before halftime, finishing the game with 16 points in 35 minutes.

 

Bronny was drafted by the Lakers as a second-round pick from the University of Southern California in June, marking a new chapter in his basketball career. LeBron, who is 39 years old and the NBA's all-time leading scorer with four championships to his name, is currently in his 22nd season. Although he recently signed a new two-year deal with the Lakers, he has yet to announce when he plans to retire, leaving fans eager to see more of the James duo in action.
