In a momentous occasion for basketball fans worldwide, LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, made NBA history by becoming the first father and son to play together in an NBA game. This historic event took place on October 6, 2024, during a preseason match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. It was even more special because it was Bronny’s 20th birthday.
LeBron James finally had the chance to play alongside his son Bronny in a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns at Acrisure Arena. This historic moment took place right at the beginning of the second quarter.
However, it would have been more enjoyable if the Lakers had pulled off a win. They ended up losing 118-114, which makes it two preseason losses in a row for them. Despite not meeting the high expectations, it was impressive to witness LeBron and Bronny sharing the court together.
LeBron showed off his talent, scoring 19 points on 8 of 12 attempts. Bronny played 13 minutes without scoring, but he made an impression on everyone with three blocks, showing his promise and skill on defense.
