LeBron James made NBA history by connecting with his son Bronny for the first father-son assist during the Lakers' home game against the Nets.

LeBron James made NBA history on Friday night, connecting with his son Bronny James for the first-ever father-son assist during the Los Angeles Lakers home game against the Nets.
At the 7:50 mark of the second quarter, LeBron, doubled by defenders, found Bronny in the corner. The young guard calmly hit the wide-open three-pointer, completing a moment that LeBron described as special for both basketball and family.
"Not taking it for granted, just, you know, being in the moment of us being on the floor once again. That's two games back-to-back playing meaningful minutes, and him also making another play. You know, obviously, them making a run in that second quarter. I just always make the right play. I got doubled, and he was able to make fake the pass to the corner, and then knock down the three. Definitely a cool moment for us and also for our family," LeBron said after the game.
Bronny, in his sophomore season, has appeared in 33 games for LA but has had more playing time in the G League with the South Bay Lakers, where he averages 9.8 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.8 rebounds in six games.
Meanwhile, 41-year-old LeBron continues to shine in his 23rd NBA season, averaging 21.0 points, 6.9 assists, and 6.0 rebounds in 52 games for the Lakeshow.
