Bronny James had a special moment over the weekend as he got the chance to play alongside his father, NBA star LeBron James, for their team, the Los Angeles Lakers. This was a historic occasion as the father-son duo became the first to play together for the Lakers. Despite their efforts, the Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns 118-114 in a pre-season game at the Arcisure Arena.
It was a proud moment for LeBron and he couldn't contain his excitement. "For a father, it means everything," he said. This was an experience he had never had growing up and he was grateful to have this opportunity to share the court with his son. "To be able to have that influence on your kids and have moments with your son, and ultimately work with your son, I think that's one of the greatest things a father can hope for or wish for," he added.
Bronny, who turned 20 on Sunday, was introduced to the game at the start of the second quarter. He only played for a little over four minutes but it was a surreal experience for both father and son. "I'm prepping for the game like it's a regular game, but the moment when we came out of the timeout and he was picking up full court and I went up, because my guy was taking the ball out, we stood next to each other and I kind of looked at him. It just didn't feel real," said LeBron, reminiscing about the moment.
Even Lakers coach JJ Redick was thrilled to be a part of this historic moment. "Just wanted to get them a chance to play together in preseason, within the flow of the game," he said. As a basketball fan, he was excited to witness this unique father-son duo in action.
This achievement speaks volumes about LeBron's longevity and competitive spirit as he enters his 22nd season in the NBA. It also reflects the dedication and hard work put in by Bronny to reach this level. And of course, none of this would have been possible without the love and support of LeBron's wife, Savannah.
Bronny is not only a talented player, but also a great kid to be around. "He's a pleasure to be around," said Redick. This special moment will be cherished by both LeBron and his son for years to come.
