LeBron James and Bronny James‘ jerseys from the season opener were recently purchased for over $100,000 at an auction. Per TMZ Sports, the Los Angeles Lakers jersey combo was made available via Sotheby’s in November. It’s believed that LeBron and Bronny wore the jerseys during the game against Minnesota on Oct. 22, the same night they made NBA history, becoming the first father and son duo to share the court in a regular season game on the same team.

Bidding on the jerseys closed on Tuesday, and TMZ Sports was told the final price was $102,000. The name of the owner has not been revealed.

The Lakers selected Bronny James in the second round of this year’s draft. He has played in six games this year and scored four points during that span. Last month, the Lakers assigned Bronny to their G League affiliate the South Bay Lakers.

LeBron James is in his 22nd NBA season and seventh with the Lakers. In 22 games this year, the future Hall of Famer is averaging 22.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and nine assists per contest.

LeBron James details his expectations for Bronny James

While speaking to Craig Melvin of NBC’s Today, LeBron James talked about what it will be like playing with his son. “It’s going to work just like any one other of my teammates,” he said. “I’m going to hold him accountable, and he should hold me accountable when I do things not right. I can separate dad from teammate. And, I think, as he continues to grow, and as he continues to learn, I hope he’s able to separate son from teammate, as well.”

The elder James also talked about his expectations for Bronny. “We have one common goal on the floor, and that’s to win that game and get better every day,” he said. “So, you know, for me, I probably will hold him at a higher standard because I want him to be great. I want him to be as great as he can be.

“But at the end of the day, it won’t be no shortcuts, that’s for sure. I don’t hold anybody to shortcut standard when it comes to the game of basketball and somebody being around me on a day-to-day basis.”
