LeBron James claims son Bronny is as good as he was as a teenager, and people are debating it

According to LeBron James, his son LeBron “Bronny” James Jr. could be his second coming,

James holds four NBA championships, four NBA MVP titles, and is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time. Although he calls himself “King James” and “The GOAT,” James makes sure to let people know that he is the proud father of three children, Bronny, Bryce, and Juri.

His two sons, Bronny and Bryce, are following in his footsteps, becoming basketball stars in their own right. As the sons of one of the most famous basketball players of all time, the pair’s athletic abilities were always closely scrutinized.

That focus is especially amplified for James’ son, Bronny. James’ eldest son, Bronny, is entering college as a five-star recruit out of Sierra Canyon High School in California. He was the No. 19 recruit in the class of 2023 and attended the University of Southern California, where he played for the Trojans.

Although he is ranked among the top 20 players in the 2023 class, some analysts still believe the 19-year-old is undersized and less athletic than his father. Bronny is a 6-foot-2 combo guard and an elite shooter, while his father, who was about 6-foot-8 and 240 pounds at age 18, has the ability to jump out of the gym.

While many analysts believe Bronny might be better suited as a defensive coordinator, James and some fans want it to be known that his son is just as athletic as he is.

In one he’s 6’2″ instead of 6’8″, internet comedian and sports fan Famous Los 32 tried to convince everyone how underrated Brownie is. He posted a video of himself splicing in Clip of Brownie’s windmill dunk at a high school game.

The comedian said, “Bronny is 6-2. He’s 6-2, not 6-8. If he was 6-8, the soles of his shoes would be beyond the rim, and that’s my mom’s responsibility.” The video then showed another clip of the teen performing an “East Bay” dunk between his legs during another game.

Then he said people told him, “There’s more to sports than just dunking.” He then played a clip of Bronny running with the ball in transition and said, “I know. Look how fast his damn feet move.” .” Commentators agreed with Lose that Bronny’s explosiveness and jumping ability are excellent for a man his size.

James also praised his son in the comments. The Los Angeles Lakers forward said: “Exactly!!! He definitely doesn’t look like someone his age. Casual people just love to argue about things they have no idea about (poop emoji).”

Fans debated whether James was telling the truth or if he was simply gassing his son.

“These normal people have no idea how tall this 6-foot-2 kid’s head is at the rim…”

“Bronny didn’t play well in the NBA. What’s going to happen is he’s going to get in because of you. And he’s going to be embarrassed.”

“Even if it’s straight from the source now, they’re still going to try to argue.”

“He’s just an average player and he’s not going to be a great player on another level.”

“If he was 6-foot-8, gosh, his chest would be at the rim.”

That’s high praise for a guy who’s already in the NBA at his son’s age. When James was 19 years old, he was a rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

Unlike his father, Bronny didn’t have the ability to make the jump from high school to the league due to NBA rules. James Jr. had to finish college first, but for a short period of time, that looked easier said than done.

Bronny had health issues before his first season with the Trojans. The teenager suffered a cardiac arrest on July 24 during summer training at USC. Tests later revealed he had a heart defect. Everything seems fine now, with James telling the media his son is doing “really well.”

Now fans will just have to wait and see if and when the heir to “King James” steps onto an NBA court.
