Kevin Durant and LeBron James have been tied together as two of the greatest players in NBA history.

They have faced off against each other in the NBA Finals three times (and 43 total games).

Back in October, the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers faced off in the preseason.

Before that game, Durant was asked about LeBron's son (Bronny).

The former USC guard was making his first appearance in an NBA game.

Durant (on October 6, 2024, h/t Mark Medina):"To see him out on the floor with James Jr. on his back with his dad is crazy to see. Hopefully, I get a chance to get on the floor with Bronny tonight. Just compete against him. The whole moment is pretty sweet. There's gonna be a lot of games throughout the year I'm looking forward to seeing with them."
