LeBron James and Bronny James continue to share more time on the court together as the Los Angeles Lakers’ regular season comes to a close.
The James family set another unique milestone for the league as Bronny was credited with an assist to LeBron on Thursday, April 9, during the Lakers’ game against the Golden State Warriors.

Bronny stole the ball with 51 seconds left in the first quarter and bounced the ball toward LeBron, who then crossed halfcourt and finished the play in transition with an uncontested dunk. It’s the first son-to-father assist in NBA history.
The Lakers led the Warriors 53-49 at halftime in San Francisco.
The father-and-son duo completed a similar milestone on March 27, recording the first father-to-son assist the league has seen.
Bronny passed the ball to LeBron with 7:54 left in the second quarter of a game against the Brooklyn Nets before the veteran drew a double team and immediately passed the ball back to his son, who made a wide-open 3-pointer.
