LeBron James has long dreamed of sharing the court with his son, Bronny James. This dream took a significant step forward when the Golden State Warriors were poised to draft Bronny as the No. 52 overall pick. However, the Warriors ultimately paved the way for the Los Angeles Lakers to select LeBron’s son at No. 55.
In addition to drafting Bronny, the Lakers also signed LeBron to a two-year deal this offseason, allowing them to play together. After missing the Lakers’ first preseason game, LeBron made his debut alongside Bronny in the second preseason game against the Phoenix Suns in Palm Desert, California.
This historic matchup was the first time an active father-son duo played together in the NBA. LeBron started the game, while Bronny entered during the second quarter.

Everyone Is Praying For Baker Mayfield And His Wife After The Couple Was Forced From Their Home In Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.
The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.
Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.
“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”
Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.
“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”
