In an arena he watched his dad play plenty of games in as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was a full circle moment for Bronny James, who scored his first NBA points in the Lakers’ 134-110 loss.

With the Cavs holding a big lead in the fourth quarter, the Cleveland crowd chanted ‘we want Bronny’ hoping to see the 20-year-old enter the game and with 5:16 remaining in the game they got their wish. 

Bronny opened his NBA account with a 14-foot jumpshot from the left corner with 2:03 to play, much to the delight of the Cleveland crowd. 

“To see him get his first NBA basket in this arena, where he grew up not too far away from here, that’s an unbelievable moment,” LeBron said.

“Unbelievable moment for him, and for our family it’s just pretty cool to be a part of it.”

He finished with two points, two assists, and one steal, finishing out the game for the final five minutes. 

“It was insane,” Bronny said of the reaction from the crowd.

“Much more than I anticipated for sure. It’s all love. It was a nice moment. The chants really got me. I was straight-faced, but I felt it and it felt pretty good, especially coming from here.”
