LeBron James and his son Bronny may be the only father-son duo to play on the same team in NBA history
Bronny James y LeBron They made headlines by becoming the first father and son duo to play on the same team NBA in the same season. However, at the end of the NBA Summer League we saw three surnames with pedigree or great renown. The aforementioned James, the one who was one of the main animators, Scottie Pippen Jr., with the Memphis Grizzlies who were a few seconds away from being champions, but the son of Michael Jordan’s eternal sidekick, gave one of the best numbers in the summer league.
Bronny and your dad LeBron They have been the note, and it is not for less, they will be the first and perhaps the only occasion that a father will play with his son on the same team in the history of the NBAand even in professional sports.
The other was the son of Dennis RodmanDJ, who played for USC but in reality didn’t see much or any action in Las Vegas.

But there was more this summer, just over 30 players are or have a family relationship with a former star of the league. Jeff Howard, Juwan’s son, who in addition to having been part of the Fav Five in the NCAA and two-time champion of the league, was also coach of the Michigan Wolverines, and now his son will play with the Orlando Magic.
