LeBron and Bronny James became the first father and son to play in the NBA together during the Los Angeles Lakers’ season-opening victory, fulfilling a dream set out by LeBron, the top scorer in league history. ‘That moment, us being at the scorer’s table together and checking in together, it’s a moment I’m never going to forget,’ LeBron said. ‘No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get older, I will never forget that moment.’ Father and son checked into the game against Minnesota simultaneously with four minutes left in the second quarter, prompting a huge ovation from a home crowd aware of the history being made. The 39-year-old LeBron had already started the game and played 13 minutes before he teamed up with his 20-year-old son for about two and a half minutes of action.
