With the NBA season just around the corner, the Los Angeles Lakers have already made history. LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, took the court together, becoming the first father-son duo to do so in NBA history. Lakers star Anthony Davis recently shared his thoughts on how Bronny performed in his initial outings.

After the Lakers’ 118-114 preseason loss to the Phoenix Suns, Davis spoke to Spectrum SportsNet, offering praise for Bronny’s performance in his first NBA games.

He’s tough,” Davis said. “Obviously, he’s defensive-minded. Some great blocks in Game 1. The physicality, he gets over on screens. Good with his hands as far as deflection and steals. But he’s also still learning.”

Davis added, “He’s still trying to figure everything out, so we have to realize that. He’s still a rookie. It’s a different style of basketball in the league. But I like what I’m seeing from him, on both ends of the floor, especially defensively.”
