LeBron and Brony were on the court for a little more than four minutes in the second quarter.
“It’s nice for both of us and especially for our family,” James said after the game. “It’s definitely a moment I’ll never forget.”
The game took place on Brony’s 20th birthday, but LeBron, 39, has been talking about such a game since his son was in high school.
“It means everything to a father,” said LeBron, who grew up without a father and acknowledged that being able to influence children, spend time with his son and work with his son is one of the things a father can hope for and wish for.
B.James went on the field, starting the second quarter.
“I always thought, ‘That’s my dad,'” Broney said, admitting he felt weird. “When I play, though, he’s just my teammate.”
“Keep progressing,” LeBron told his son, who will enter his 22nd NBA season. “He’s young. He wants to keep improving and that’s the most important thing. You just have to learn from your mistakes every time you’re on the pitch and have good episodes.”
“Lakers” selected L.James junior in the 2024 rookie draft with number 55.
In the summer of 2023, L.James Jr.’s heart stopped during the training of the University of Southern California team. Before that, he was a candidate for the top ten of the NBA draft.
Broney is expected to spend much of next season with the Lakers’ G League farm club, the South Bay Lakers, but is expected to join his father in regular-season games for the Los Angeles Lakers at the start of the NBA season.
The first game of the Los Angeles “Lakers” in the main tournament will take place on October 22, when they will meet the Minnesota “Timberwolves” at home.
Father and son James can add to the short list of fathers and sons who have played together on a North American professional team. Baseball players Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. played together in the 1990 and 1991 seasons in the Major League Baseball (MLB) team “Seattle Mariners”, while hockey player Gordie Howe, together with his sons Marty and Mark, went to the field for the World Hockey Association (WHA) teams Houston.
