LeBron James is excited about Ken Griffey and his son attending the Lakers’ season opener against the Timberwolves.
Griffey Family’s Special Visit:
Ken Griffey Jr. recently shared that he and his father will be at the Lakers’ first game of the 2024-25 season. This event is special because LeBron and his son, Bronny, are set to become the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history. Back in 1990, the Griffeys made history as the first father-son teammates in Major League Baseball when they played for the Seattle Mariners. Their iconic moment came when they hit back-to-back home runs against the California Angels.
LeBron James speaks about the significance of Ken Griffey Jr., who has become a friend of his, coming to the game with Griffey Sr. tonight. I asked him for the basketball equivalent of father-son both going yard? โTwo lobs. If I catch a lob then Bronny catches a lobโ

LeBron’s Thoughts on a Historic Night:
LeBron expressed how cool it is to have such legendary figures like the Griffeys watching him and Bronny play together. When asked what a similar basketball moment would look like, LeBron quickly replied that if both he and Bronny caught alley-oops during a game, it would be just as memorable as those famous home runs.
Fans think it’s amazing to see such connections between different sports legends.
The idea of LeBron and Bronny catching lobs sounds thrilling!
