Ramona Shelburne, Senior Writer for ESPN.comSpends seven years at Los Angeles Daily NewsPALM DESERT, Calif.–LeBron and Bronny James made history Sunday as they became the first father-son duo in NBA preseason action when the Los Angeles Lakers fell to Phoenix Suns 118-114 at Arcisure Arena preseason matchup at Arcisure Arena in Palm Desert, Calif. Bronny checked into play shortly into second quarter and joined his dad LeBron on court before starting their Lakers loss against them to Arizona Suns at Arcisure Arena before being replaced by his dad LeBron. This monumental moment occurred just minutes later during second Quarter when Bronny James officially joined his father LeBrone on court at Arcisure Arena as one of two father/son duo’s on-court battled Phoenix Suns beat Los Angeles Lakers to Arcisure Arena by Arcisure Arena when Bronny celebrated his 20th Birthday by joining in and playing together on court together on court together on court during one quarter as Arcisure Arena held 118-114 preseason preseason against Phoenix Suns before Arcisure Arena opened for preseason match up against Phoenix Suns preseason opener when Bronny entered into Arcisure Arena and joined his father Lebron James’ side and joined his dad before heading towards Arcisure Arena where Arcisure Arena held play before ultimately fell by losing by one quarter 118-114 loss against Phoenix Suns losing by one and went onto join his Dad and joined both teammates and joined his father on court as Arcisure Arena’s court alongside Lebron James’ early second quarter battle was lost 118-114 loss when lost out preseason match up and their lost against Los Angeles Lakers losing against Phoenix Suns before Arcisure Arena to join his father Lebron at Arcisure Arena with him and joined father Lebron James who’s court to celebrates first quarter where Arcisure Arena later joined Bronny by joining up on court alongside Phoenix Suns Phoenix Suns while La Lavs before finally.

Redick wanted both players to experience playing together within the flow of preseason action… as part of a normal basketball game… without feeling pressure. “Just wanted them both to experience playing together while under preseason pressure,” Redick explained. “I am thrilled that I get to take part in this historic moment for basketball fans everywhere, as LeBron can still compete at such an elite level despite his longevity in Year 22 of his career. His competitive endurance speaks volumes.” Bronny has put forth significant effort and love from Savannah as well, to reach this point in life. Savannah remarks “Bronny is such an outstanding kid; it is always such an enjoyable time being around him”. “Even in their brief on-court encounter of 4 minutes and 9 seconds together, there were several notable moments: first when they each picked up full court on defense as the Lakers attempted to shore up transition defense; next when Bronny picked up full court defense as their father argued an illegal screen call on Bronny; finally when Bronny missed a 3-pointer after receiving an assist from his dad on one dribble handoff.” Redick expressed disappointment over DHO not making his mark early enough in their relationship, though Redick still sees many memorable moments ahead for these two. “That would have been cool but they will no doubt share many memorable experiences together, I’m certain of it. LeBron, now in his 22nd season, has long expressed interest in playing alongside Bronny James; with that goal in mind, the Lakers gave both father and son an opportunity to make history when drafting Bronny at 55 with their second pick this past June. “I’m prepping like normal for this game,” LeBron stated before speaking at length about their historical pairing. Editor’s Picks2 Related”I am prepping like usual.” “But the moment when we came out of timeout and my opponent picked up full court and took out his ball was truly surreal; as soon as it hit full court and my guy picked out my guy was taking out his own ball it felt as if we were all living inside “The Matrix,” it didn’t feel real at all.” “LeBron James, 39, started Sunday’s game after missing Friday’s preseason opener and looked rejuvenated early on against L.A. He and Olympic teammate Anthony Davis led L.A. with 19 points each on 8-of-12 shooting during the opening half – 19 for LeBron and 17 from Davis for LA respectively in scoring 19 on 8-of-12 and 7-of-10 shooting respectively in their respective halves of play.” After missing his one shot and committing four turnovers in 13:25 of action, Bronny did not score and impressed teammates and coaches alike with his dedication on defense – “He’s tough,” noted Davis. “Clearly, he has some incredible defensive chops – Game 1, with great blocks. Physicality. Breaking over screens for deflection or steals; deflects passes off screens; but is still learning so we must accept that.” “Andre is clearly defensively-minded – great blocks during Game 1. Physicality with some incredible deflection and steals on game day in particular! However, we need to recognize his learning process so as not to lose focus over this.” He’s still young — this style of basketball in the league is new — but I like what I see from him both offensively and defensively. “Bronny has been remarkable calm throughout his journey with the Lakers: from being selected, attending his first professional camp and now playing alongside his father he said his focus was always “Isn’t he my Dad” because, quite simply, “that is who my Father is. “So when it comes to playing, all I think about when thinking of my teammate is him as my teammate. So that is all what keeps my nerves at ease when facing these experiences”, he responded when questioned on how he managed to remain so composed throughout all this turmoil. He shrugged. “Taking everything that has occurred this year and continuing my daily work routine are my keys to recovery and finding fuel every morning to wake up and begin working again,” he noted. “JJ has really stressed being aggressive on defense so this has become my main objective once on the court. “
