LeBron James has finally done it. His long dream of playing an NBA game alongside his son, Bronny James, has come and gone. However, some fans were less than enthusiastic about the historic moment. While it is an iconic piece of basketball history, some fans still believe that Bronny is not ready for the NBA, and their concerns may have some merit. Although James Jr. played some lousy basketball, LeBron still opened up about finally playing with his son.
According to ESPN, on Tuesday night, Lebron James and his son Bronny James could be seen sitting together on the end of the Lakers’ bench. After a short conversation was shared, the crowd erupted as the father-son duo ripped off their warmups and entered the game together for the first time. Although some fans saw it as more of a “Bring your kid to work day.”
“That moment, us being at the scorer’s table together and checking in together, something I will never forget,” LeBron said in a joint postgame news conference with Bronny. “No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get older or whatever, I will never forget that moment.”
Fans React to LeBron James and Bronny James Taking the Court Together for the First Time
It is very unlikely that any basketball fan will forget that moment. However, some took to Reddit to voice their opinions on the matter.
“Bring your kid to work day,” one said.
“LeBron got so tired of his teammates he made his own,” wrote another.
Some other fans jokingly said, “LeBron and LeSpawn.“
Finally, another said, “Bronny gets scored on straight away, and Wolves go on a 7-0 run.“
While it is still an amazing moment for the sport, it seems that many fans don’t care for the young rookie getting playing time.
Lebron James and Bronny James kicked off the 2024-25 NBA season. However, there is a long way to go. It is a long season with a lot of ups and downs. Can the father-son duo get through it together, or will the Lakers crumble?
