LeBron James and Bronny James made NBA history by recording the league’s first father-son assist during the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against Brooklyn on Friday night, according to the NBA.
The milestone moment came in the second quarter when LeBron passed the ball to his son, who changed the game with a three-point shot.
The pair shared the court for about four and a half minutes after checking in together early in the second quarter.
During that time, both players contributed offensively, with LeBron scoring on a driving layup before setting up Brown for a historic basket.
The father-son duo are now regularly seen together in games, with Bronny getting more playing time in recent matches.
The young guard has appeared in mostly limited minutes this season, while he has also spent time with the Lakers’ G League affiliate.
His increased role comes as the team has struggled with injuries, including starting guard Marcus Smart, who has been sidelined the last two games.
LeBron and Bronny are the first father and son to play in the NBA at the same time, and now the first to unite in scoring.
The moment marks another milestone in LeBron’s career, while highlighting a rare intergenerational connection on the same NBA court.
