Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Bronny James scored his first NBA basket on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. However, his dad, Lakers superstar LeBron James, hilariously didn’t react to it when it happened.
Bronny, who played in the game late as the Lakers trailed Cleveland by double digits, managed to get his first points in the NBA. LeBron, who was on the sideline was too caught up in the game to react.

It was a tough night for the Lakers, who lost 134-110 to the Cavaliers. Despite the lack of reaction, LeBron later expressed his pride and joy in an interview, saying,
“To see him get his first NBA basket in this arena where he grew up not too far away from here, it’s an unbelievable moment… Unbelievable moment for him and our family”. He also added, “It’s a lot of excitement. Just pure joy, to be honest, to come to work every day and put in hard work with your son. We push each other… just a very joyous moment not only for myself but for our family”.
The moment was especially poignant as Bronny got to play in the same arena where his father had many memorable moments during his career.
