During his very first offseason game with the Los Angeles Lakers during Saturday’s California Classic, rookie Bronny James got his first NBA bucket while wearing the purple and gold.
On a really neat play under the basket, James glided through a couple of Sacramento Kings defenders with ease to lay in the basketball for two points to get his team tied at 31 in the second quarter.
With all eyes on the son of LeBron James as he acclimated to life as an NBA player, this wasn’t a bad way for him to make his debut on the Lakers stat sheet for points.

While a layup is just a layup, it’s obviously a historic moment for NBA fans to see LeBron James’ son put up points in a Lakers jersey.
We’ll see how Bronny James continues to get used to the pros, but he’ll always remember this as the moment he scored his first NBA points.
