The Los Angeles Lakers, one of sports’ most prestigious franchises, have seen their share of historic moments, including 17 championships. But on Tuesday night in Los Angeles, the team produced a first in NBA history when Lakers star LeBron James and his son Bronny became the first father-son duo to appear together in an NBA game. The 39-year-old James, playing in his record-tying 22nd NBA season, was predictably in the Lakers’ starting lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Twenty-year-old Bronny, making his NBA debut, joined his father on the court with four minutes remaining in the second quarter. The pair substituted into the game together and went straight to business as fans applauded. The Lakers’ faithful at Crypto.com Arena cheered and took photos and video as history was made on the opening day of the NBA’s 79th season. In a quiet father-son moment before stepping into the spotlight, LeBron offered some last-minute advice to Bronny, captured on a TNT Sports microphone. “You see the intensity, right?” LeBron asked. “Just play carefree though. Don’t worry about mistakes. Just go out and play hard.” The younger James played about two and a half minutes in his first shift on the court in a regular season NBA game. He went 0-2 shooting and had a rebound in that time.
