Tuesday, October 23, 2024 - The James family has just made NBA history! LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, played together for the first time in an official NBA game during the Los Angeles Lakers' season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The historic moment occurred in the second quarter when both
LeBron, entering his 22nd NBA season, and Bronny, the 55th overall pick in the
2024 NBA Draft, checked into the game with four minutes remaining. The Lakers
were leading by 16 points at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, where a
sellout crowd witnessed the landmark event.
Among the excited fans were legendary father-son baseball
duo Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., who were thrilled to watch the Jameses make
history. Savannah James, LeBron’s wife and Bronny’s mother was also present,
proudly witnessing her husband and 20-year-old son share the court.
LeBron has openly expressed his desire to play alongside his
son in the NBA, calling it a "dream come true." That dream was
realized last night as the father-and-son duo made their official debut. Though
they played together in a preseason game on October 6th, this regular-season
game cements their place in NBA history.
Bronny, who impressed with 17 points in an exhibition game
against the Warriors earlier this month, hopes this will be the first of many
appearances alongside his father in the league. With the James family
continuing to break barriers, this could mark the beginning of a memorable
chapter for both LeBron and Bronny.
