"LeBron and Bronny James Make Historic NBA Debut Together"
In a historic and emotionally charged moment, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James shared the court with his son, Bronny James, for the first time in a professional game. This milestone occurred during the Lakers' preseason matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, which ended in a 118-114 loss at Acrisure Arena in Southern California.
LeBron James, who is gearing up for his 22nd season in the NBA, described the experience as "surreal." This sentiment was echoed by Lakers coach JJ Redick, who stated, "It's surreal... doing two-on-two, pick-and-rolls together in practice. It'll be fun when they're on the court together. I'm excited about it. I'm very honored that I get to be part of history."
The game marked Bronny James' 20th birthday and his second preseason appearance. Bronny, who was drafted by the Lakers as the 55th overall pick after a single season at USC, played for about 13 minutes, recording two rebounds and attempting one three-pointer without success. Despite not scoring, his presence on the court alongside his father was a significant moment for both the James family and NBA history.
LeBron James, approaching his 40th birthday in December, showed no signs of slowing down. He made his preseason debut with an impressive performance, scoring 19 points, grabbing five rebounds, and dishing out four assists in just 16 minutes of play.
The father-son duo played together for a four-minute, nine-second stretch in the second quarter, setting the stage for what will be an official NBA first when they play together in the regular season. This historic event is scheduled to happen on October 22, when the Lakers face the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The early returns on the duo playing together have been overwhelmingly positive. Teammate D'Angelo Russell praised the off-court interactions between LeBron and Bronny, noting the valuable advice and guidance LeBron provides to his son.
As the Lakers prepare for their regular season, the anticipation is high for this unique and historic father-son partnership. LeBron and Bronny James are poised to etch their names in NBA history, making their upcoming regular season debut a highly anticipated event for both the team and its fans.
