On October 22, 2024, in Los Angeles, LeBron James and his son Bronny made NBA history as the first father-son duo to play in a regular-season game.
During the Lakers’ season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 20-year-old Bronny joined LeBron on the court with four minutes left in the first half, thrilling the sold-out crowd.
LeBron, 39, who had long dreamed of playing alongside his son, achieved this milestone in his 22nd NBA season. Bronny, eager to build his own legacy, was drafted 55th overall after one season at the University of Southern California.
Though LeBron has yet to announce his retirement, Bronny is set to forge his own path in the league.
