LeBron James and Bronny James have become the first father and son to play together in the NBA.
The basketball great stepped on court with his 20-year-old son in the LA Lakers’ season opener against Minnesota Timberwolves.
The pair got a huge ovation as they made history in the Crypto.com Arena.
They had about two and a half minutes playing together in the second quarter.
Bronny wasn’t able to score in his brief appearance but still got an ovation when he left the court with 1:19 left to play.
LeBron, the all-time NBA points record holder, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever.
He finished the game with 16 points and the Lakers won 110-103.
The 39-year-old had long spoken of his ambition to share the court with his son – a second-round draft pick by the Lakers in June.
“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 or whatever, I will never forget that moment.”
Bronny told the media: “(I) tried not to focus on everything that’s going on around me, and tried to focus on going in as a rookie and not trying to mess up.
“But yeah, I totally did feel the energy, and I appreciate Laker Nation for showing the support for me and my dad.”
Bronny had open-heart surgery last year after suffering a cardiac arrest and played a shortened freshman season at University of Southern California before entering the NBA’s draft – the annual pick of players.
