LeBron and Bronny James etched their names into NBA history as the first father-son duo to play in the league during the Los Angeles Lakers' pre-season game against the Phoenix Suns Monday (PHL time).
Despite the Lakers’ 118-114 loss, the momentous occasion came when Bronny entered the game at the start of the second quarter, officially joining his father on the court.
LeBron had an impressive performance in his limited minutes, scoring 19 points along with five rebounds and four assists in just 16 minutes of action.
Anthony Davis also made his pre-season debut, contributing 17 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers.
Though Bronny went scoreless in his 13 minutes, he grabbed two rebounds and shared the court with his father, marking a historic moment for the James family and the NBA.
LeBron James. Bronny James.
