LEBRON, BRONNY SHARE COURT TOGETHER IN HISTORIC NBA MOMENT
LeBron and Bronny played together at a historic moment in NBA history on Tuesday when the Lakers hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Furthermore, the two entered the court with four minutes left in the second quarter to become the first father-and-son duo to play at the same time in the NBA.
Moreover, LeBron started and played for 13 minutes in the game before joining his son’s first NBA regular-season game.
Bronny missed an open three-pointer on his first NBA regular season match.
Wolves center Rudy Gobert would later block him on a tip-in attempt.
The No.55 second-round pick played with his father once in the preseason, on October 6, when the Lakers faced the Phoenix Suns.
GRIFFEYS ATTEND HISTORIC MOMENT, POSE WITH LEBRON AND BRONNY FOR PICS
Moreover, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr attended the historic moment.
Furthermore, the Griffeys were the first father-and-son tandem to play in Major League Baseball at the same time.
Moreover, the Griffeys played for the Seattle Mariners for two seasons together in 1990.
They hit their back-to-back home runs on September 14, 1990.
“First after and son to play baseball, (and) now the first father and son to play basketball. It’s a big deal for my dad and I to be there,” the younger Griffey told MLB Network Radio.
“We made history. Now we get to watch history, so that’s what’s going to be cool about it,” he added.
The Griffeys would later pose for pictures with LeBron and Bronny during pregame warmups.
REDDICK CONSULTED FATHER AND SON DUO ON HISTORIC MOMENT
Furthermore, Lakers coach JJ Reddick consulted LeBron and Bronny on how to play out their first NBA regular season stint together.
Moreover, the first-time NBA head coach admitted he was “thrilled to be a part” of the “historic” moment.
“We had a couple of conversations around it. I think everybody is on the same page,” Reddick said.
“We want it to sort of make sense, and we want it to happen naturally and in the flow of a game,” he added.
LeBron finished with 16 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 34 minutes.
Bronny was scoreless but had a rebound in three minutes on the floor.
Anthony Davis collected 36 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists to lead the Lakers to a 110-103 win over Anthony Edwards and the Wolves.
