LeBron and Bronny James Achieve First Father-Son Assist Together
In an unprecedented moment in NBA history, LeBron James and his son Bronny achieved the league’s first father-son assist during a game on Friday night. This milestone occurred when LeBron assisted Bronny for a three-pointer in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ match against the Brooklyn Nets.
Historic Father-Son Connection
The game marked a significant occasion for the James family, showcasing their unique bond on the court. The Lakers hosted the struggling Brooklyn Nets after returning from a successful road trip. LeBron and Bronny played together for meaningful minutes for the second consecutive game.
Game Highlights
During their time on the court, the father-son duo demonstrated their connection. LeBron scored a driving layup before providing the assist that led to Bronny’s three-pointer, a shot made from a step behind the arc.
- LeBron’s Position: He continues to be a key player for the Lakers.
- Bronny’s Role: This is his second season with the Lakers.

Bronny’s Progress
