The Los Angeles Lakers made history on Tuesday night by having LeBron James and Bronny James play on the court in their first NBA game together, a first in the league for a father and son.
During Los Angeles' season opener at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bronny James joined his dad on the court during the game's second quarter for a couple minutes of action.
It was a passing of the torch in a way, as LeBron James, a 22-season veteran, got the opportunity to play professional basketball with his rookie son. How cool is that?
We've got some great photos from the James duo's first NBA game together for you, ones that help document the historic occasion for the league. Check them out below.
