    Whether it's Bill Walton and Luke Walton , Arvydas Sabonis and Domantas Sabonis , or Rick Brunson and Jalen Brunson , the NBA has featured several productive father-son duos throughout its history. The moment Bronny James suits up for the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2024-25 season, he and his father, LeBron James , will not only become the first to play alongside each other -- they will be the highest-scoring father-son duo in NBA history.

    LeBron enters the season with 40,474 career points, the most in league history. The four-time NBA champion and four-time league MVP is the only player to eclipse the 40,000-point plateau.

    LeBron's career total alone is nearly 2,000 points more than the NBA's previous all-time highest-scoring father-son duo of Joe "Jellybean" Bryant and Kobe Bryant . Joe scored 5,252 points for three different teams during his eight-year NBA career, while Kobe scored all of his 33,643 career points for the Lakers, for a total of 38,895 points for the Bryants.

    Here's a look at the highest-scoring father-son duos in NBA history entering the 2024-25 season.

    1. Joe "Jellybean" Bryant and Kobe Bryant

    Joe (5,252 points) + Kobe (33,643) = 38,895

    2. Dell Curry and Stephen Curry

    Dell (12,670) + Stephen (23,668) = 36,338

    3. Mychal Thompson and Klay Thompson

    Mychal (12,810) + Klay (15,531) = 28,341

    4. Dolph Schayes and Danny Schayes

    Dolph (18,438) + Danny (8,780) = 27,218

    5. Rick Barry and Brent Barry

    Rick (18,395) + Brent (8,488) = 26,883

    6. Tim Hardaway and Tim Hardaway Jr.

    Tim Hardaway (15,373) + Tim Hardaway Jr. (10,307) = 25,680

    7. Jimmy Walker and Jalen Rose

    Walker (11,655) + Rose (13,220) = 24,875

    8. Patrick Ewing and Patrick Ewing Jr.

    Patrick Ewing (24,815) + Patrick Ewing Jr. (3) = 24,818

    9. Rick Barry and Jon Barry

    Rick (18,395) + Jon (4,715) = 23,110
