LeBron James and eldest son Bronny James claimed a piece of NBA history after making their long-awaited first appearance alongside each other.
Bronny James and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers warm up prior to their game against the Phoenix Suns at Acrisure Arena. The two made history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA on Sunday.
Anticipation about when the James duo would become the first father-son duo to appear in the same NBA lineup together has built since the Lakers picked Bronny with the 55th pick in the NBA Draft in June. "It's cool as a basketball fan. I think it speaks to the longevity of LeBron and his competitive stamina. And it speaks to the work that Bronny has done to get to this point."LeBron James has said that playing with Bronny on the same team has given him a new lease on life as he enters the 22nd season of a glittering career.
"We push each other. He pushes me. I push him. We push our teammates, and vice versa. So it's just a very joyous moment not only for myself, but for our family.Bronny said at the Lakers recent media day he was fueled by the words of critics who have suggested he owes his place on the Lakers roster entirely to his superstar father.
