For a while, LeBron James has been closely guiding Bronny as he reaches a crucial stage in his athletic career. LeBron has frequently visited his son’s games these past few years. LeBron James Jr. or Bronny chose to team up with Zaire Wade and Amari Bailey at the Sierra Canyon School. The 6’2″ guard has been seen dunking and throwing dimes like his father in numerous highlights.

Early Comparisons Between LeBron James and Bronny James

The young star has humungous boots to fill and has been delivering continuously at the junior levels. Comparisons between him and his father were inevitable and have finally started to spark. ESPN’s Paul Biancardi, who scouted LeBron when he was in high school has now scouted Bronny and shared some valuable insights.

“They are very similar at this stage when it comes to passing — both love to be facilitators and can impact the game with their unselfishness,” Biancardi said. “Bronny has played at a high level and has demonstrated that same affinity for dropping dimes to his teammates”

LeBron James’ Killer Instinct Not Genetic?

When it comes to dominance on the court, the father has an edge over his son, at least for the time being. This is what Biancardi had to say about the difference in their respective approaches to the game:

“A main difference at the same stage is in their approach. LeBron would look to take over games with an aggressive style, both within his age group and while facing older players. When LeBron was in high school, he was the star of the team. As a freshman at the varsity level this past season, Bronny was surrounded by older, top-level talent and deferred more — which was smart. This will naturally change as he gets older. When Bronny plays his age group, he is more aggressive and scores with variety, and you can feel his presence as one of the best players on the court.”

The Lakers star hopes to guide his son to achieve greatness in the NBA similar to his own. Only time will reveal how Bronny’s career will compare to the legacy established by LeBron.
