LeBron James and his son Brony James They made history Tuesday by becoming the first father-son duo to play an official NBA game at the same time. Both wearing Los Angeles Lakers jerseys, LeBron (starter) and Broney (substitute) reached that milestone when they walked onto the court with 4 minutes left in the second quarter of a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

LeBron At age 39 and in his 22nd season in the league, the leading scorer in league history, he has repeatedly expressed his dream of one day sharing the court with his son in the NBA.
Broney, 20, was taken 55th overall in the last draft by the Lakers. On October 6, they played together with the purple and gold franchise in a preseason friendly, but this was their first time in an official competition.
Among the fans who witnessed the moment at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles were two very special ones: Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., father and son also made history, but in MLB and in their case with the Seattle Mariners in 1990.
