WATCH: NBA's first father-son duo Lebron James and Bronny James sweats hard in practice session

This week marks LeBron James' 22nd training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers, and it promises to be an unforgettable one. The Lakers second-round draft selection and his 19-year-old son, Bronny James, share a locker room and the floor with the NBA's career scoring leader. Soon, they'll make NBA history as the first father and son to play together, achieving a goal that LeBron originally mentioned a few years ago.

The Los Angeles Lakers team was already thrilled to have Bronny James join them, but after watching the adolescent impress teammates in practice by dunking a three-pointer over his father, there's a chance that excitement may reach new heights. Bronny was selected with the 55th overall choice in the 2024 NBA Draft. Together with LeBron, he will make NBA history as first father-son team, continuing the Lakers' legendary legacy, whether they play on the floor of Crypto.com Arena or anywhere else.

While the 19-year-old was criticized for being selected because of his father's reputation even though he was a unanimous four-star recruit, he is already attempting to silence his detractors by putting on a show before the season even starts. LeBron is still looking forward to their limited opportunity to play together, even if Bronny James is only scheduled to make sporadic appearances in his rookie season.

JJ Redick getting ready with the team for new NBA season

Last Monday, JJ Redick, the new head coach of the Lakers, announced that he will work with the family to arrange for them to make their historic debut early in the regular season. It's amazing to imagine the day when Bronny and his father will go onto the floor and play their first NBA game together, even if it's likely that Bronny will spend the most of the following season honing his abilities with the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

Los Angeles Lakers' next game is a preseason matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Acrisure Arena on Friday. On October 23, the Lakers will also play their first NBA game against the Timberwolves. Therefore, this Friday's game may provide fans a unique look at what opening night may bring for LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
