On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers played their second preseason game against the Phoenix Suns in Palm Springs, California.

While the Lakers lost by a score of 118-114, all the attention was on Bronny and LeBron James.

The rookie guard checked into the game during the first half, making history as he and LeBron are the first father-son duo ever to share an NBA floor together.

After the game, LeBron met with the media and made an extremely honest statement (h/t Jovan Buha of The Athletic).

LeBron: "The moment when we came out of the timeout, and he was picking up full-court, and I went up. My guy was taking the ball out, we kind of stood next to each other, I kind of looked at him, and it was like the matrix or something. It just didn't feel real."

Bronny had two rebounds in 13 minutes.
