Stop me if you’ve heard this before, LeBron James made NBA history.

That’s nothing new.

The James’ are the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA game

What’s new is that he made history alongside his son, LeBron James Jr., aka Bronny.

The James’ became the first ever father-son duo to play together in an NBA game.

They join Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. as one of the few to play on the same professional sports team with one another.

The Griffeys were in attendance at Crypto.com Arena to witness the historic moment, as the Los Angeles Lakers tipped off their season against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The 39-year-old father, who has scored the most points in the history of the NBA, and his 20-year-old namesake son, took the court together in the second quarter.

A moment the two will never forget.

It was a historic day that also included a little bit of hazing, on the part of James Sr.

He thought it would be funny to prank his son, by filling his car up with Fruity Pebbles before they both left for work.

Of course this wasn’t shot today (presumably) and was more well-thought-out-marketing-ploy by Nike, then it was actual hazing.

But still fun nonetheless, and a perfect tease to lead into tonight’s game.

Now that the James’ have accomplished this feat, all eyes will be on the Lakers pursuit of a championship.

With the soon to be 40-year-old James Sr., he is running out of time to win more titles.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the elder James will play at least two more seasons, with eyes on a potential third, but nothing is guaranteed at this point.

On top of all the storylines that this game had, what may have got lost in the shuffle was the fact that it was JJ Redick’s first game as head coach.

And how great the Lakers looked.

Redick had the purple and gold humming all night long against a team that had reached the Western Conference Finals a year ago.

If this is how Redick is going to have the Lakers looking on a nightly basis, then watch out.

Of course this is only game one of an 82-game season, so no need to overreact, but a positive sign nonetheless.

On a night where the game felt like more of a B-plot as everyone awaited James Jr. to take the court with his father, the Lakers looked much improved.

James Jr. won’t be playing every night, and the focus will shift back on James Sr. and his pursuit for a fifth championship.

But for one night, it was okay to take a step back and appreciate the moment between father and son.
