LeBron James, who is starting his 22nd NBA season at age 39 (a record shared with Vince Carter), has once again made history. With family this time, playing a basketball match at the highest level with his son Bronny (20 years old), who is starting his career.
In the Los Angeles Lakers jersey, the star and his son dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves and above all became the first father/son duo in NBA history. Bronny entered the floor during the 2nd quarter. He grabbed a rebound in three minutes of play, while LeBron scored 16 points and participated in the victory for the Lakers (110-103).
In the big bill of the evening, the Boston Celtics, crowned champions in the spring, set the tone for the new NBA season. They crushed the New York Knicks (132-109) and crushed them with 29 successful 3-point shots out of 61 attempts (but missing the last 13!), an NBA record tied.
Boston, which won the final 4-1 against Dallas in June after having already dominated the regular season, was once again able to count on Derrick White (24 points) and the MVP of the last final, Jaylen Brown (23 points).
