LeBron and Bronny James make history as the NBA’s first father-son duo to play together
LeBron James and Bronny James became the first father and son to play in the NBA together Tuesday night during the Lakers’ 110-103 victory over the Timberwolves.
LeBron and Bronny checked into the game together with four minutes left in the second quarter, prompting a big ovation from a home crowd aware of the enormity of the milestone. The 39-year-old LeBron had already started the game and played 13 minutes before he teamed up with his 20-year-old son to make history.
LeBron James is the top scorer in NBA history, while LeBron James Jr. was a second-round pick by the Lakers last summer. They are the first father and son to play in the world’s top basketball league at the same time, let alone on the same team.
