One year after LeBron James’ 20-year-old son suffered cardiac arrest during a workout at USC, he reflected on how his life has changed.

The 39-year-old LeBron, entering his 22nd NBA season, had long talked about hoping to play with his son in the pros, and that became a reality when the Lakers selected Bronny, born LeBron James Jr., at No. 55 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft.

LeBron James and his son Bronny played together for the first time in a preseason match on Sunday, Oct. 6 between their team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Phoenix Suns. Their appearance together on the court marked the first time in NBA history that a father and son have ever played in the same game.
