The 2024-25 NBA season began on Tuesday night, as the Boston Celtics took it to the New York Knicks, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers picking up a good opening win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Traditionally, most eyes would have been on the defending NBA champions, but the Lakers have a storyline this season that makes every game a must-watch.
39-year-old LeBron James can now say he has played in an NBA game together with his son, Bronny James. Bronny made his debut on Tuesday night, playing three minutes. He entered the game late in the second half, alongside his father, and played all of his minutes with LeBron. And after they stepped on the court together, they had a very special moment.
