Los Angeles Lakers icon LeBron James' storied 23-year NBA career is littered with memorable moments, perhaps none more "insane" than sharing the court with his son in a playoff game.
James reflected on how special it was to play alongside Bronny James in Saturday's 107-98 Game 1 victory over the Houston Rockets.
"There's a lot of crazy things that's been going on this year for me, shit I was on the floor with my son in a playoff game ... that's probably the craziest thing that's ever happened to me in my career," James told reporters.

Bronny played his first meaningful postseason minutes off the bench to start the second quarter, lining up alongside his father. Bronny played four minutes and did not attempt a shot.
"It was just so cool to be out there with him, and his brother and sister and his mom in the building, and his grandma," James said. "That's just insane. My mom got to watch her son and her grandson in the playoffs. That's crazy."
James nearly recorded his 29th career playoff triple-double as the Lakers raced out to a 1-0 series lead, posting 19 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds. He remains second all-time behind Magic Johnson (30) for playoff triple-doubles.
