LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James -- the NBA's all-time leading scorer -- and his son Bronny James make NBA history Oct. 22, taking to the court together as the Lakers faced the Minnesota Timberwolves in their season opener.
Bronny James is a guard with the Lakers, having been selected by the team in the 2024 NBA Draft.
LeBron James' family often cheers him on at games, including at the 2024 Paris Olympics earlier this year, as the U.S. men's basketball team won gold.
"I've always let them just see if they had a love for [basketball]. Because, at the end of the day, nothing is going to come to fruition if you're just doing it because you feel like it's what your parents are doing. Nah, it's going to fizzle out too fast," he told Sports Illustrated in a 2022 cover interview with his sons.
