Anthony Davis Thrilled to Be Part of LeBron James’ Historic Moment in Lakers Win
LOS ANGELES, CA – OCTOBER 22, 2024: Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers forward, expressed his excitement at being part of a historic moment as LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, made NBA history by playing together for the first time. This milestone occurred during the Lakers’ season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which the Lakers won 110-103 at Crypto.com Arena.
LeBron’s achievements in a Lakers uniform are well-documented, including becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in 2023. On this special night, which coincided with his daughter Zhuri’s 10th birthday, the atmosphere was electric as the crowd celebrated the father-son duo.
Davis had an impressive performance, contributing 36 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. After the game, he reflected on the significance of LeBron and Bronny sharing the court. “I’ve been part of many of LeBron’s milestones, but this one stands out,” Davis said. “As a father, it’s monumental. I may not play with my son—he’s only three—but to witness that moment was truly special.”
The crowd was highly supportive, giving a standing ovation for Bronny, who nearly made a three-pointer that would have sent the arena into a frenzy, but it unfortunately rimmed out. Despite this, the night was still a celebration for the Lakers and their fans.
Davis noted the importance of winning during such a significant occasion, contrasting it with past moments where the team lost despite LeBron’s achievements. “This was the first time we had a major LeBron moment where we came out on top. In the past, those moments often ended in disappointment, which overshadowed them,” he said.
The opportunity to celebrate a victory alongside such a landmark occasion made the night even more memorable for everyone involved.
LeBron, too, emphasized the emotional weight of sharing the court with his son. “That moment at the scorer’s table with Bronny is something I will never forget,” he said. “Regardless of what happens in the future, that memory will always be with me.”
With a mix of personal milestones and team success, the Lakers’ opener has set a promising tone for the season ahead.
