LeBron James was one of the most hyped players coming out of high school. Even during his high school days, there was a huge fan following for him. He was tipped to be the next Michael Jordan. And was dubbed as the “Chosen One”.

Even though he doesn’t play anything similar to Jordan, he’s always compared to him. Especially when it comes to the ‘GOAT’ debate. There are a lot of players and fans around the world who believe James is the GOAT of the NBA. So far, he has won five NBA championships.

LeBron James and his family

James is a family man off the court. LeBron married Savannah Brinson in 2013. They have three children: sons Bronny and Bryce, and daughter Zhuri. They are known to be a very close-knit family.

Once, a video of Bryce James making fun of LeBron James went viral. He was impersonating his father and Bronny couldn’t control his laughter seeing it. As expected, it racked up a lot of views, likes, and comments. Like Bronny, fans were crying in the comments due to Bryce’s funny impersonation of The King.

One fan commented, ““how tall you is?” bro, sometimes i really just wanna cry”.

But make no mistake, Bryce James is a baller too.

Can Bronny James follow in the footsteps of his father?

At 37, LeBron is still going strong. In a disappointing last season for the Los Angeles Lakers, James was arguably the only positive. He averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game in 56 games. At one point in time, he was in contention for the scoring title. 

LeBron James has told multiple times that he would like to play with his eldest son Bronny James in the NBA before he retires. Bronny plays high school basketball for Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles. He is tipped to play college basketball before testing the waters in the NBA. 

But a few days back, Bronny’s national recruitment ranking took a hit. His ranking fell 31 places, from rank 29 to rank 60. That is a huge slide for anyone. However, ranking is not everything in today’s game. And there are reports that suggest that colleges like Ohio, Duke, Tennessee, and Texas are already in the running for Bronny.
