One of LeBron James’ biggest dreams in his NBA career is to play with his eldest son LeBron “Bronny” James Jr. He expressed it multiple times in the past and after everything he had achieved over the course of his stellar 21-year NBA career, there is nothing really left to accomplish.

Until this.

LeBron and Bronny became the first father and son duo to play in the NBA in the Lakers win vs the Minnesota Timberwolves on opening night. LeBron’s career-long dream was realized, and he could not help but be in awe of it. “It's always been family over everything,” LeBron shared in the Lakers’ post-game interview.

LeBron’s incredible longevity has been always talked about in the league, mentioning how he’s been in the league longer than anybody else in history, and even in his own life. James has spent life in the NBA longer than life outside of it, dedicating to his craft and showing up every single day. 

That included lesser time for his family as he aimed to be the greatest to ever do it. LeBron noted that the path is an incredible sacrifice, and that’s why he cherishes this moment of playing with his son in the league.

“I lost a lot of time because of this league ... so to be able to have this moment where I am working still and I can work alongside my son, it's one of the greatest gifts I've ever got from the man above and I'm going to take full advantage of it,” LeBron said on sharing the court with Bronny. 

Although Bronny might not see much action this season as he’s slated to develop more in the NBA G League, the father-son moment has been accomplished and LeBron couldn’t be happier about it.
