LeBron and Bronny James have made history as the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA! The milestone occurred during the Los Angeles Lakers’ season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where both LeBron and his son, Bronny, took to the court for the first time in an official game.
This historic moment unfolded in the second quarter, with LeBron, now in his 22nd season, and Bronny, the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, entering the game with four minutes left on the clock. The Lakers were leading by 16 points at Crypto.com Arena, and a sold-out crowd witnessed this landmark event.
Among the enthusiastic fans were the legendary baseball father-son pair, Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., who were excited to see the James family make history. Savannah James, LeBron’s wife and Bronny’s mother, was also in attendance, proudly watching her husband and son share the court.
LeBron has long dreamed of playing alongside Bronny in the NBA, calling it a “dream come true.” This official game marks the fulfillment of that dream, following their earlier preseason appearance together on October 6th.
Bronny, who scored 17 points in a recent exhibition game against the Warriors, hopes this will be just the beginning of many joint appearances with his father in the league. As the James family continues to break new ground, this could signify the start of an exciting chapter for both LeBron and Bronny.
