LeBron James and Bronny James made NBA history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together on the same team during the Los Angeles Lakers’ pre-season game against the Phoenix Suns.<\/b><\/p>\n

Bronny, on his 20th birthday, entered the court during the second quarter in a 118-114 defeat by the Suns.<\/p>\n

Never before had a father and son played in an NBA game of any type – including pre-season – at the same time.<\/p>\n

“Wow that was surreal,” LeBron wrote on X following the match.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters, he added: “We came out of a timeout and we kind of stood next to each other. I kind of looked at him.<\/p>\n

“It was like being in The Matrix or something. It just didn’t feel real. But it was great to have those moments.”<\/p>\n

LeBron scored 19 points on the night, with four assists and five rebounds. Bronny went scoreless during his 13-minute run, finishing with two rebounds and four turnovers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
