LeBron James names craziest moment of his NBA career after Lakers playoff win

The Los Angeles Lakers opened their playoff run with a 107-91 victory over the Houston Rockets on April 18, but the scoreboard didn’t tell the full story.

LeBron James and his son Bronny shared the court for four minutes in the second quarter, making them the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA playoff game.

Bronny checked in during a second-quarter stretch and didn’t return after subbing out. He finished without a point or a field goal attempt, recording one turnover and two fouls in limited action. LeBron, meanwhile, put up 19 points while dishing out 13 assists and grabbing eight rebounds.

The moment itself came and went without much fanfare during the game. But afterward, LeBron made it clear just how much it meant to him.

“I was on the floor with my son in a playoff game. That’s probably the craziest thing that’s ever happened to me in my career,” LeBron said. “It’s just so cool to be out there with him, and his brother and sister, and his mom in the building, and his grandma. That’s just insane. My mom got to watch her son and her grandson during the playoffs. That’s crazy.”

The entire family was there to witness the rare moment – wife Savannah, daughter Zhuri, mother Gloria, and youngest son Bryce.
