LeBron James<\/a> and Bronny James<\/a> have already carved out a unique place in NBA<\/a> history. When Bronny made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> after being selected 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, the duo became the first active father-son teammates in league history.<\/p>\n

Since then, Bronny has been navigating his second NBA season, balancing development between the Lakers and their G League affiliate while gradually earning opportunities at the NBA level.<\/p>\n

They added another historic moment Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>. During the game, LeBron found Bronny on the perimeter, and the young guard knocked down a catch-and-shoot three-pointer. It was his only basket in four minutes of action and the play marked the first official father-son assist<\/a> in NBA history.<\/p>\n

After the game, Bronny spoke with reporters about his recent opportunities and growing comfort at the NBA level. But the conversation quickly turned into a viral moment when he shared a previously unknown story about his father.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time I played [LeBron] 1-on-1, I don\u2019t know if this story came out. But he broke a backboard at our house in Miami\u201d\u00a0(via ESPN\u2019s Dave McMenamin)<\/p>\n

From a nearby locker, Austin Reaves joked if the story never got out because LeBron lost that matchup, to which Bronny Bronny nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n

LeBron and Bronny\u2019s bond throughout the years is well documented. The four-time MVP has consistently supported his son from high school to USC and now into the NBA, and has spoken publicly about his pride in his son\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

After playing 27 games in his rookie year, the 21-year-old has since upped his tally to 34 games in his second season. With the Lakers set to face the Washington Wizards<\/a>, who sit 13th in the Eastern Conference, Bronny could see additional minutes as Los Angeles seeks its third straight win.<\/p>\n
