LeBron James and Bronny James made history in the Los Angeles Lakers opening game this season. When the duo shared the stage against the Minnesota Timberwolves, they became the first father-son duo to feature in an NBA regular-season game. Although Bronny James played for only three minutes, he made quite an impact, while his father dropped 16 points to see the Lakers through.
Now, while the hoops fans are already in awe of the moment, it is about to create yet another buzz. A recent report stated that the jerseys worn by the father-son duo will be up for grabs in an auction. And there are no prizes for guessing that it won’t be a cheap affair.
The historic piece of memorabilia is available at Sotheby’s. But the one who wants to get a hold of the pair will surely have to burn a hole in their pocket. With the bidding still expected to go on for at least two more weeks, the price has already reached a whopping $70,000. Thus, one can only imagine to which extent the price might soar.

Apart from wearing the jerseys on gameday, fans believe that the duo would have worn them during the preseason matchups and media day interactions. Meanwhile, despite this being a historical moment, former ESPN host Michelle Beadle thinks the moment was ‘manufactured.’
Michelle Beadle Claims LeBron-Bronny James Moment ‘Ridiculous’
Former ESPN host Michelle Beadle dropped a bombshell. With the media going crazy about LeBron and Bronny James taking the court together, Beadle felt it was fake. “Russell Westbrook made it to the league on his own and did all that by himself. If this isn’t manufactured, then I don’t know what the word manufactured means. But, again, I am not impressed, and I thought this was so ridiculous,” said Beadle on ‘Run It Back.’

However, this was not the only time when Beadle had a tussle with LeBron James. Back when she was at ESPN, Beadle claimed that King James tried to dismiss her several times. James allegedly even DM’d her to ask why she was so dismissive of James on television. Thus, with a lot of twists happening in the LeBron-Bronny James plot, fans would now wait to witness how things pan out in the future.
