As reported by BBC Sport on Friday, the moment came after Bronny, 19, made a key defensive play, stealing possession before quickly finding his father in transition. LeBron finished the sequence with an uncontested dunk, sparking attention for what is being described as a first-of-its-kind father-son assist in NBA history.
The play added a special highlight to an already strong performance from the 41-year-old Lakers star, who finished the game with 26 points and 11 assists as his team controlled the contest from start to finish.
Bronny contributed 10 points and three assists, continuing to build his role within the Lakers rotation while sharing the court with his father in a historic season for both players.
