LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are going through it. They have lost six of their past eight games, with their latest loss being a 41-point defeat. Considering the high on which the season started, with LeBron and his son Bronny James making NBA history by taking the court together, it’s been quite a fall from grace. There’s been a lot of attention surrounding both LeBron and Bronny, but for very different reasons. LeBron has been struggling lately, and folks are wondering whether Los Angeles needs to rest him more throughout the season. Bronny, on the other hand, hasn’t suited up for the past nine games due to a heel injury. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way out for the Lakers, LeBron and Bronny achieved a major goal of theirs when they played alongside each other in the team’s season-opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And as it turns out, the jerseys the father-son duo wore in that game recently sold at auction for over $100,000.
When Bronny checked in late in the second quarter to take the floor alongside LeBron, they became the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history. It was a big moment not just in the world of basketball, but in the world of sports as a whole, as it’s virtually unprecedented to see a father and son playing together professionally.

Considering the high on which the season started, with LeBron and his son Bronny James making NBA history by taking the court together, it’s been quite a fall from grace. There’s been a lot of attention surrounding both LeBron and Bronny, but for very different reasons. LeBron has been struggling lately, and folks are wondering whether Los Angeles needs to rest him more throughout the season.

Regardless of what happens the rest of the way out for the Lakers, LeBron and Bronny achieved a major goal of theirs when they played alongside each other in the team’s season-opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And as it turns out, the jerseys the father-son duo wore in that game recently sold at auction for over $100,000. When Bronny checked in late in the second quarter to take the floor alongside LeBron, they became the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history. It was a big moment not just in the world of basketball, but in the world of sports as a whole, as it’s virtually unprecedented to see a father and son playing together professionally. As a result, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the duo’s jerseys sold for a massive price when they went to auction. Sports memorabilia markets continue to be increasingly profitable, and it resulted in LeBron and Bronny’s jerseys from their historic game selling for a massive price tag. While things got off to a hot start in Los Angeles this season, injuries and poor play have slowed them down as of late. Their injury situation could get even worse, as LeBron is questionable to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night due to a right foot injury. Bronny appears to be closing in on a return to action, but when he does return, it will likely be with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League rather than with Los Angeles in the NBA. For now, LA will be hoping to get themselves back on track when they square off against Atlanta on Friday.
