LeBron James and son Bronny make NBA history with first-ever father-son assist
LeBron James owns a lot of NBA records. On Friday night, he added a very personal one to his Hall of Fame resume. During the second quarter of the Lakers game against the Suns, LeBron dished a perfect pass to Bronny James, who drained a 3-pointer from the wing. It marked the NBAs first-ever father-son assist, a milestone years in the making.
The moment unfolded with electric precision. LeBron, driving baseline, spotted Bronny curling off a screen and whipped a no-look pass right into his shooting pocket. Bronny rose up smoothly, splashing the triple as the crowd at Crypto.com Arena erupted. Father and son shared a quick dap, grins wide under the bright lights.
This duo joined the league together last season, defying odds as the first father-son pair to play on the same NBA roster. Bronny, drafted 55th overall by the Lakers in 2024, has carved his niche as a defensive sparkplug with growing offensive chops. LeBron, at 41, remains a force, averaging 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists this year.
LeBron reflected postgame: Its bigger than basketball. Sharing the court with my boy, making history together thats the dream I chased for him. Bronny added, Pops pass was money. Just had to knock it down.
The assist caps a season of bonding for the Jameses amid Lakers playoff push. With LA sitting fourth in the West, this record adds emotional fuel. Fans worldwide celebrated, flooding social media with clips of the play.
From high school phenom to NBA trailblazer, LeBron continues rewriting legacies now with family by his side. Whats next for the James dynasty? The NBA cant wait to find out.
