LeBron and Bronny James make NBA history in Lakers season opener

Part plan, part pipedream, Lakers star LeBron James and oldest son Bronny became the first father and son to share an NBA court together — a milestone celebrating the elder James’ longevity and the younger James’ resilience.

With four minutes left in the second quarter Tuesday night in the season opener against Minnesota at Crypto.com Arena, father and son checked into the game together to make history.

Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., the first father and son to play on the same team in Major League Baseball, attended the game. Hockey legend Gordie Howe and MLB Hall of Famer Tim Raines also played with their children as teammates on the highest professional levels.
