LeBron James and Bronny James aren't officially the first father-son duo to play in the NBA yet, but they still delivered some preseason magic.
LeBron James barreled through the lane and slammed home a left-handed hammer. He sprung through the air to reject a shot. On the first night of Year 22 — albeit during the preseason — not a lot had changed and James was doing the kinds of things he’s done on the court for a generation. By halftime, he had scored 19 points for the Lakers against the Phoenix Suns. But Sunday night at the start of the second quarter, he unveiled his latest — and maybe greatest — trick.
“It’s surreal — doing two-on-two, pick-and-rolls together in practice. It’ll be fun when they’re on the court together,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said pregame. “I’m excited about it. I’m very honored that I get to be part of history.” Viewed as a potential distraction by some NBA insiders, the early returns on the duo playing together have been almost universally positive. Saturday, D’Angelo Russell said he’s enjoyed seeing the off-court moments between the first father-son duo in NBA history.
