What Vanderbilt guard Scotty Pippen Jr and Bronny James have in common

These two athletes don’t seem like they have any connection, do they? One might assume the only thing that links them is that they’re both sons of NBA stars. LeBron James’ son Bronny is heralded to land into the NBA in a few years’ time and make a name for himself. 

That is the case with Scotty Pippen Jr. too, but what factor connects him with Bronny James? It is quite unfortunate that they weren’t teammates, but they both belong to the same high-school family. 

Scotty Pippen Jr went to Sierra Canyon High-School and graduated before Bronny James joined. The latter is now shining brightly for the highly reputed high-school team and looks to make a mark before entering college.
