With famous streamer Adin Ross in attendance, Bronny didn’t hold back on displaying his unreal bounce and speed. Carrying the genes of LeBron James, Bronny, amid an in-game transition break, successfully pulled off a monstrous Eastbay dunk leaving everyone in utter disbelief. Moreover, he also took a page from his father’s book and slammed another impressive dunk to follow it up. The athletic feats of Bronny from the game caused a social media frenzy in the NBA world. King James’ former Miami Heat teammate, Dwyane Wade, also reacted to the impressive highlights.

Wade took to his Instagram and reposted the highlights of Bronny’s dunk to his 19.5 million followers. Moreover, he captioned the story with emojis “🤒🤒” aptly expressing his emotions. The post also received approval from the King himself.

Like Bronny, Wade also had a promising son at Sierra Canyon in Zaire Wade. From the class of 2021, Zaire briefly played alongside Bronny at Sierra Canyon, reigniting the vivid memories of James and Wade union from the early 2010s. But he moved on to the G-League instead of going to college. However, he has failed to perform as anticipated and earn quality minutes for the past few years.

Bronny’s 2024 draft prospects

In his 20th season, after winning 4x NBA championships, 4x Finals MVPs, breaking numerous records, and cementing himself as one of the greatest to ever do it, LeBron James is still going strong at the age of 38. The burning passion for playing at his age comes on the back of his long-time dream of playing alongside Bronny in the NBA.

Consequently, the King has perfectly aligned himself to make it a reality. In the off-season, James signed a two-year extension with the Los Angeles Lakers through the 2024-25 season worth $97.1 million.

His contract allows him to be at the right place at the right time, as Bronny (34th ranking in ESPN’s top 100) is expected to appear in the 2024 NBA draft, and the Lakers have a second-round pick that year.
