Bronny James talked about his attitude after sharing the court with his father and teammate LeBron for the first time during the Los Angeles Lakers’ 118-114 preseason loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

“I always think ‘That’s my dad,’ because he’s literally my dad,” James said after the game, per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. “So I just go out there and when I play, he’s just my teammate. That’s all I’m thinking about at this point.”

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two were on the court together.

The pair became the first active father-son duo in NBA history after the Lakers selected the younger James with the 55th pick in the 2024 draft.

Bronny was drafted by the Lakers after his freshman year at USC. He did not make his season debut for the Trojans until December 2023 after suffering cardiac arrest during offseason training prior to the 2023-2024 season.

The 20-year-old reflects on his journey to the NBA, which allows him to remain calm despite the history he creates with his father.

“Just take everything that’s happened to me this year and get up every day and keep working,” James said, according to Shelburne. “I just find the fuel every day to get up and start working.”

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer was amazed by the pair’s achievement. He finished Sunday’s game with 19 points, five rebounds and four assists, shooting 66.7% from the field.
