The Los Angeles Lakers kicked off their regular season in style, securing a 110-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The win came after a rocky 2-4 preseason, but the Lakers managed to turn things around when it counted. This game was especially memorable for LeBron James as he became the first active NBA player to share the regular-season court with his son, Bronny James.
As the Lakers took a 51-35 lead at the Crypto.com Arena, Bronny made his debut on the court. While it was a historic moment for the James family, the significance wasn’t lost on LeBron, who showed his fatherly support for his eldest son before the game.
After coming off a challenging summer that included a tough Summer League and preseason, Bronny faced added pressure leading up to his NBA debut. As captured on a hot mic before the game, LeBron offered some calming advice to Bronny. It was a simple yet powerful reminder to enjoy the game and focus on effort rather than the pressure of the moment.
“You ready? Just play carefree… go out and play hard,” LeBron said.
“You ready? Just play care free… go out and play hard.”

LeBron has been a steadfast supporter of Bronny throughout his young career. Despite the challenges Bronny has faced, including his health scare, LeBron has always stood by his side, helping him maintain his confidence and pushing him to keep striving for greatness.

The Guardians produced an astonishing late comeback in their American League Championship battle with the Yankees, and Travis Kelce loved every minute of it.
The Yankees were poised to go 3-0 up in the series when Aaron Judge hit a two-run home run to tie the game, and then Giancarlo Stanton hit another home run to give the Yanks the lead.
However, Guardians outfielder Jhonkensy Noel forced an extra inning after a sensational game-tying home run in the 9th inning, as they were down to their last out.
David Fry proved to be the hero for Cleveland with a walk-off homer in extra innings.
Travis Kelce, who was born around 15 miles west of Cleveland, was left ecstatic after his beloved baseball team’s remarkable victory on home turf.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end wrote on X after the game: ‘Playoff baseball baby!!! @CleGuardians have the city absolutely ROCKIN TONIGHT!! What a game!’
