LeBron and Bronny James became the first father and son to play in any NBA game together during the first-half of the Lakers’ preseason contest against Phoenix
game together during the first-half of the Lakers’ preseason contest against Phoenix, playing just over four minutes side-by-side in the second quarter on Sunday night.
“For a father, it means everything,” LeBron said. “For someone who didn’t have that growing up , to be able to have that influence on your kids and have that influence on your son, be able to have moments with your son – and the ultimate, to be able to work with your son – that’s one of the greatest things that a father could ever hope for or wish for.
Bronny came off for a substitute 4:09 into the second quarter, and LeBron came off 25 seconds later at the next dead ball. LeBron had 19 points, five rebounds and four assists in 16 minutes during the first half, and he watched the Lakers’ second half from the bench alongside Anthony Davis. The 6ft 2in Bronny is expected to spend much of the upcoming season working on his game with the South Bay Lakers of the G League, but he will almost certainly get to play alongside his 6ft 9in father in a real game early in the regular season. The Lakers begin their regular season on 22 October at home against Minnesota.
