LeBron James and his son Bronny made history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together in a regular-season NBA game during the Lakers’ season-opener. The moment was highly anticipated since the Lakers drafted Bronny earlier in the year. Both father and son received a warm ovation from fans when they checked in together during the second quarter. The two shared the court for a brief stint before Bronny was subbed out. Before the game, they discussed finding the right balance between being teammates and family. This moment was personal for the elder James, as Bronny was born during his second NBA season. LeBron reflected on missing time with his family during his playing days and was grateful to now be able to spend time with his son on the court. He also highlighted Bronny’s resilience after recovering from a cardiac arrest in college and praised his determination to fulfill his dreams. The historic father-son pairing was a special and emotional moment for both Jameses and a unique occurrence in American professional sports history.
