PREVIEW

LeBron and Bronny James Make NBA History Together. LeBron James and his son, Bronny, made history as the first father-son duo to share the court in an NBA game during the Lakers' season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With four minutes left in the first half, the Lakers' coach introduced them, and the crowd at the Crypto.com Arena erupted as the pair entered the game with the Lakers leading 51-35. This was not their first time playing together, having previously appeared in a pre-season game against the Phoenix Suns earlier in the month. After the game, LeBron expressed joy over the opportunity to play alongside his son, calling it one of the "greatest gifts" he's received. Watching this milestone were Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., who previously made history as the first father-son duo to play together in Major League Baseball. Bronny, 20, played three minutes, missing two field-goal attempts but grabbing an offensive rebound. LeBron added eight points and three rebounds in the first half, finishing with 16 points in 35 minutes. Reflecting on his debut, Bronny described the experience as “unforgettable” and emphasized his gratitude for the opportunity. Bronny joined the Lakers in June as a second-round draft pick from the University of Southern California. At 39, LeBron, the NBA’s all-time top scorer, continues his storied career, now in its 22nd season, with a new two-year deal with the Lakers.
