Historic Hoops: LeBron and Bronny Make NBA History

In a momentous occasion for the NBA and its fans, LeBron James and his son Bronny became the first-ever father-son duo to play together in a regular season game. This landmark event occurred when the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves for their anticipated season opener.

The excitement reached a fever pitch as the sell-out crowd erupted in applause when 20-year-old Bronny made his entry with four minutes left in the first half, joining his father on the court. This remarkable moment marked a first in NBA history, a feat never before achieved by any parent and child in the league, let alone on the same team.

LeBron, entering his 22nd season as the league's all-time leading scorer and a multiple-time champion, had expressed a desire to play alongside his son. Drafted by the Lakers after a promising stint at the University of Southern California, Bronny aimed to carve his own path while debuting alongside his iconic father. In attendance were other notable sports figures, Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., underscoring the significance of witnessing such generational talent on a single stage.
