In just a couple of days, Bronny James could fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming an NBA player. From initially being left out of ESPN’s mock draft to now sparking interest from multiple teams, Bronny has come a long way in the last few months. And just a day before suiting up for the upcoming draft at the Barclays Center, the teenager turned heads once again as he took to the court for an intense workout session with his dad and younger brother Bryce, garnering appreciation from several fans and celebrities.

Already in New York for the draft, the James Family utilized their day off by training with Chris Brickley. And soon after, videos of the trio dominating the court with their amazing moves started making rounds on social media. While all three family members looked impressive on the floor, Bronny stole the show when he hit his defender with a nasty ankle-breaker move to finish the basket, nearly sending him to the floor. Even getting the ‘oohs and aahs’ from the people in the gym, Bronny continued to lift his stock value before draft night.

Apart from the insane crossover, Bronny also showed off every inch of his 40.5-inch vertical jump with some powerful dunks and capped it off with some amazing shooting from all areas of the court. At one point, he even made five consecutive shots from the corner. Although a lot of people have been doubting Bronny’s credibility because he only averaged 4.8 points as a freshman at USC, his constant display of great shooting will definitely change some people’s opinions. Even Brickley captioned his post admitting that LeBron’s elder son “is ready to bring value to an NBA Team!” During the Draft Combine in Chicago, Bronny lit the court on fire with his insane shooting, going 11-11 from the three-point range during one of the drills.

Fans in awe as Bronny James could soon fulfill LeBron’s ultimate dream

Marveling at Bronny’s diverse skillset during the training session, LeBron James even commented on the video posted on IG with a bunch of praying emojis, “🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾” Maybe, he was just grateful to be able to share the stage with his two sons and be a part of their journey. Meanwhile, Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal’s son, Shaqir O’Neal, who has played for two years at Texas Southern University, left three goat emoticons on the post “🐐🐐🐐”, likely for the three members of the James gang! Then came former NFL star Julian Edelman, who was also taken aback by Bronny’s talent, and filled the comments with several emojis, “🔥🔥💪👏🐿️”

While so many people were impressed with the 19-year-old’s talent, shooting coach Chris Matthews famously known as Lethal Shooter, touched upon how amazing this moment is for LeBron, “As a dad this has to be a priceless feeling 💯” While there have been a lot of father-son duos who have played in the NBA separately, no player has ever had the chance to share the court with his son while still playing at an elite level. But defying father time, LeBron has been able to do it with Bronny and Bryce, although not in the NBA yet. Moreover, with the Lakers possibly looking to draft Bronny with their 55 pick, he could fulfill his ultimate goal of being teammates with his son in the NBA.

And looking at the trio workout together, one awestruck fan wrote, “generational family 🧬” While Bronny did his thing, his younger brother Bryce showed that he could also one day follow in his father’s footsteps and make it to the league. And with his 6’6 frame, many believe that he could have a higher ceiling than Bronny. Whatever the case, the workout video showed that they are a generational father-sons trio and could have a chance at making history by playing in the NBA together.
