LeBron James and Bronny James made NBA history Friday night by recording the league’s first-ever father-son assist during the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against Brooklyn, the NBA said.
The milestone moment came in the second quarter when LeBron passed the ball to his son, who converted the play with a three-point shot.
The pair shared the court for nearly four and a half minutes after checking in together at the start of the second quarter.
During that stretch, both players contributed offensively, with LeBron scoring on a driving layup before setting up Bronny for the historic basket.
The father-son duo have now played together in back-to-back matches, with Bronny earning more playing time in recent matches.
The young guard has mostly appeared in limited minutes this season while also spending time with the Lakers’ G League club.
His expanded role comes as the team deals with injuries, including starting guard Marcus Smart, who has been sidelined for the past two games.
LeBron and Bronny are the first father and son to play in the NBA at the same time, and now the first to score together.
The moment marks another milestone in LeBron’s career while highlighting the rare generational bond on the same NBA court.
