The cameras captured the moment the couple is about to take the field. “Are you ready?” the father asks his son. “Just play, don’t worry– is LeBron’s advice – go out there and give it a go.” Their family was also in the stands to watch the historic event: Savannah, LeBron’s wife and Bronny’s mother, together with the couple’s other two children Bryce and Zhuri.

“You ready? Just play care free… go out and play hard.”

For Bronny, 20 years old, it was his debut in the NBA: he remained on the court for three minutes and exchanged the ball a couple of times with his father, who is in his twenty-second season in the NBA. Although they are the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time, they are the fourth overall pair in the world of American professional sports. Among the most famous is the one composed of And Sr. and Ken Jr. Griffey who instead played in MLB baseball: the two attended the James match and took a historic photo together.
