LeBron and Bronny James combine for NBA's first-ever father-son assist
Bronny's only points in the win over the Nets came on a 3-pointer assisted by his dad.
LeBron James owns a lot of NBA records. On Friday night, he added a very personal one to his Hall of Fame résumé. During the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 116-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets , LeBron and his son, Bronny, hooked up for the first father-son assist in NBA history.
After taking a pass from Bronny, LeBron drew a double-team at the top of the key. That left Bronny wide open to get the ball back from dad and drain a 3-pointer. BRONNY ➡️ LEBRON ➡️ BRONNY THE FIRST FATHER-SON ASSIST IN NBA HISTORY!

Son would play a little over four minutes and that bucket would be his only one of the game. When asked about the unique record afterward, LeBron was proud to be a part of the moment. "Not taking it for granted, just being in the moment of us being on the floor once again," LeBron said .
