PALM DESERT —
LeBron James barreled through the lane and slammed home a left-handed hammer. He sprung through the air to reject a shot. On the first night of Year 22 — albeit during the preseason — not a lot had changed and James was doing the kinds of things he’s done on the court for a generation. By halftime, he had scored 19 points for the Lakers against the Phoenix Suns.
But Sunday night at the start of the second quarter, he unveiled his latest — and maybe greatest — trick.
LeBron James and his oldest son, Bronny, shared the court together for the first time as professionals for a four-minute, nine-second shift.
