LeBron James and Bronny James created NBA history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together on the same team during the Los Angeles Lakers preseason game against the Phoenix Suns.
Bronny, on his 20th birthday, took the court during the second quarter of the Suns’ 118-114 defeat.
A father and son have never played in an NBA game simultaneously, including the preseason.
“Wow that was surreal,” LeBron wrote on X following the match.
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.
“It was like being in The Matrix or something. It just didn’t feel real. But it was great to have those moments.”
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.
Bronny joined the Lakers as a second-round draft pick from the University of Southern California in June.
LeBron, 39, is the NBA’s all-time record point-scorer and a four-time NBA winner.
