The moment, which had been highly anticipated since the Lakers drafted Bronny 55th overall on June 27, became a reality when Lakers coach J.J Redick put Bronny in with four minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

LeBron said his priority was winning, but when asked how they felt about the moment, James and Bronny had the following to say.

“obviously us being at the scorer’s table together, checking in together, is something I will never forget that moment,” LeBron James said. “No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get old or whatever, I will never forget that moment.”

He later said: “For this moment to come, it’s pretty cool. I don’t know that’s actually going to hit the both of us for a little minute.”

“That first game stepping onto the court is a little nerve-wracking,” Bronny said. “But once I stepped onto the court and got up and down a couple times, it all went away. I felt pretty good.”

Additionally, this game marked the start of LeBrons 22nd NBA season, tying him for the most seasons ever played with Vince Carter adding to LeBrons more than stellar resume.
