Lakers’ LeBron James opens up about unreal alley-oop to Bronny in Game 3 vs. Rockets

The Los Angeles Lakers are one win away from a first-round sweep, but the headlines following Game 3 aren’t just about the scoreboard. They are about a father, a son, and a lob that will live in NBA lore forever.

During the Lakers’ 112-108 overtime victory against the Houston Rockets on Friday, LeBron James and Bronny James made history. In the second quarter, LeBron ignited a fast break and spotted his son streaking toward the rim. He lofted a perfect ball, which Bronny hauled in and finished with a stylish reverse layup. It was the first father-son scoring connection in the history of the NBA playoffs.

“He was calling for it,” LeBron James told reporters after the game. “I’ve seen his steps for so long, he was gathering. And I was like, ‘just go get it!'”

“I was like ‘just go get it!’… that was a special moment.”
