CLEVELAND, OH- Bronny James made his home debut, well close to home as he was born in Akron, Ohio (Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital) versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.

It was James Jr.'s first time playing in a Laker uniform against his father's former team and his second short performance as a drafted rookie.

James Jr. scored on a 2-point jump shot in the 5 minutes he was on the court, with 2:03 left in the 4th quarter in a 134-110 loss to propel the Cavaliers to 5-0 in the young season.

"It was just a dream for me,'' said James Jr.

Playing right alongside your father in Cleveland where the elder James won an NBA Championship in 2016 as a member of the Cavs has to be a special moment.

"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 for him, first of all our family," Lebron James said.

We are all witnesses again as we see a father and son tandem play in the NBA.
