LeBron and Bronny had their first game together in Cleveland, back where it all started and it was made even more special since Bronny got his first NBA points ever.
The crowd was cheering Bronnys name as he took the court. He scored the first points of his NBA career on a 14-foot jumper and the fans went nuts.
It was a dream come true for me, the rookie said. It felt really good after the fact. I was still in game mode when I hit the shot, so I didnt really acknowledge it while I was playing.
He added, I just been taught to play the right way my whole life
LeBron was certainly happy to be back in Cleveland and even wore his 2016 championship ring while answering questions at the postgame press conference.
To see him get his first NBA basket in this arena where he grew up not too far away from here, its an unbelievable moment, LeBron said. Unbelievable moment for him and our family.
He also spoke about Bronny being able to realize his dream, Its the greatest thing in the world.
Of course, the James family isnt immune to the negative backlash by some people about the whole Bronny being drafted by the Lakers situation, but his family wont stoop to that level.
It dont cost you a dime to be nice to people. Thats what were all about. We dont believe in the hate thing.
Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson is a big fan of the narrative.
Its a beautiful story, Atkinson said. [With] two kids of my own, I cant even imagine, right? I enjoy playing in the backyard with my son to do it on an NBA court? Beautiful story. I love it. I think we should celebrate it.
