It was a perfect night for the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James on Tuesday.James made his season debut in the Lakers’ 140-126 win over the Utah Jazz and shot the ball efficiently, scoring 11 points from 7 shots before watching his eldest son, Bronny, sink an impressive three-pointer.As is often the case, James couldn’t hide his excitement after Bronny sank a threeGETTYJames played 30 minutes after missing the first 14 games of the season due to sciatica, a nerve issue that’s affected his lower back and right side of his body.“It was just fun to be out there with the guys, man,” James told reporters after the game. “It’s been rough mentally for me — this is the first time I’ve started a basketball season and not played since I’ve started playing basketball, like 9 years old, I’ve never missed the beginning of a basketball season.”It was a history-making night for James as his two, first half 3-pointers moved him past Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller into No.6 on the all-time list in 3-pointers made.The four-time NBA champion also got to witness Bronny drill a three-pointer from the logo in the final minutes of play.The entire arena erupted, and so did James, who got up from his seat to celebrate the sophomore’s impressive bucket.James had a simliar reaction when Bronny slammed home an alley-oop from Austin Reaves against the Miami Heat earlier this month.Bronny finished Tuesday’s game with three pointers, two assists and three turnovers in four minutes of action.The 21-year-old has a lot to improve on, but there’s no doubt he plays with energy and enthusiasm and Lakers fans in the arena seem to feed off it.After the game, James was asked about his son’s progress in his second season and he gave an answer that surprised some people.Bronny James is picking up more minutes as he continues to develop in what is now his sophomore seasonGettyLeBron James revealed the state of his relationship with his son, BronnyGettytalkSPORT's NBA power rankingsWho is the best NBA player in the world right?Does LeBron James make the top 20?

He’s not a resident anymore so we don’t talk as much, he has his own place.”Bronny and James became the first father-son duo to play in the NBA when they both shared the court in the Lakers’ season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves last year.The pair haven’t shared the court often since as Bronny has spent significant time in the G-League with the South Bay Lakers.However, Bronny has travelled with the team more often this campaign, and has played in 10 games out of 14 so far this season, averaging 11.1 minutes.Last year, he averaged just 6.1 minutes.“He is so much more comfortable and confident as a player…”, Lakers head coach JJ Redick recently said of Bronny.“Skill-wise, read-wise, all of those things have improved, but there’s a big difference between improving those things in individual workouts and small group settings, and doing it 5-on-5.“He’s a totally different player than he was a year ago.“I thought the stuff that he did down in the G League last year was huge for him in developing a comfort level in playing at this level.”The Lakers are now 11-4 on the season, good enough for fourth in the Western Conference behind the Thunder, Nuggets, and Rockets.Stay up to date with the latest from the NBA across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
