LeBron James and son Bronny make NBA history: The 10 biggest reactions on social media

LeBron James and his son Bronny made history as the first ever father-son duo in the NBA.

The LA Lakers won 110-103 at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their first game of the season, which will go down in history for LeBron and Bronny, who played together for the first time.

Before they both checked in, LeBron was wearing a microphone and was heard saying to Bronny, “Are you ready? You see the intensity right? But just play carefree. Don’t worry about making mistakes, just go and play hard.”

The two then came off the bench together, with the Lakers taking a 51-35 lead midway through the second quarter.

Family was also present, including Bronny’s mother, brother and sister.

LeBron played 35 minutes and scored 16 points while Bronny played three.

After the game, LeBron said, “This is something I will never forget. I will never forget this moment, no matter how old I get, no matter how much my memory fades as I get old or whatever, I will never forget this moment.” “

Bronny said: “I was a bit nervous before the first game when I walked onto the pitch. It was a little nerve-wracking, but once I got on the court and walked up and down a few times, everything went away.”

And NBA fans on social media were stunned by what they saw.

Nick Wright said: “The fact that LeBron James is simultaneously a) athletic enough to do that dunk and b) old enough to be the *father of one of the other nine players on the court* is beyond comprehension.”

Another said the moment gave them “fucking goosebumps.”

One said: “Seeing LeBron and Bronny go into the game together is one of the coolest things ever. Story.”

Another shared a meme with the caption: “Preparing for my 22nd straight season of defending LeBron’s legacy.”

One focused on LeBron’s performance and said: “LeBron shouldn’t be doing this in ’22 🐐”

Another account posted crown and clapping hands emojis.

And there was a number who posted the fire emoji.
