While LeBron James was on Los Angeles Lakers duty, his son Bronny James spent time at his high school game. The similarity between the two was that they were creating magic on their respective courts. LeBron dribbled with ease and dunked the ball with force. Meanwhile, Bronny was doing the same at Sierra Canyon High School. Anticipating a thunderous dunk from King James is routine but now, the younger copy of LeBron is continuing his father’s legacy and leaving folks impressed.

An Instagram page posted videos of Bronny James executing a windmill and trick dunks to perfection. Mid-game, he danced around the court, dribbled the ball from one hand to the other, and soared up high. The dunk looked almost akin to LeBron’s. The court erupted in applause and was left in awe of Bronny.

Previously, LeBron had made his dreams clear. He desperately wants to play with his son in the NBA. In an interview, he said, “I want to be on the court with Bronny. Either with the same team or in a game against him”. While this could either happen or not, Bronny has already started receiving offer letters from colleges around the States.

As per ESPN, the University of Southern California, Ohio State, and the University of Michigan are some of the colleges that have reached out to Bronny. It will be interesting to see where he ends up at the college level.
