**LOS ANGELES** – Basketball history was made on Tuesday night as LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, took to the court together for the Los Angeles Lakers. The duo became the first father-son pair in NBA history to play on the same team, drawing a thunderous ovation from the home crowd.
LeBron, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, started the game and played 13 minutes before being joined by his 20-year-old son, Bronny, who was selected in the second round of the NBA Draft by the Lakers last summer. The pair checked in together with four minutes left in the second quarter, marking a momentous occasion for both the James family and the league.
The historical moment was witnessed by Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., who themselves achieved the same feat in Major League Baseball in the 1990s. The two baseball legends shared a pregame chat and photos with the James family, celebrating this unique bond shared by both families.
LeBron, a four-time NBA champion and a 20-time All-Star, has openly spoken about his desire to play with Bronny for several years. This dream became reality after Bronny entered the draft following a season at the collegiate level.
The Lakers are entering the season with a roster largely unchanged from last year’s team that finished 8th in the Western Conference and lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. With the addition of Bronny, the Lakers are hoping to make a deeper run in the playoffs and create a lasting legacy for the James family.
