A two-decade stint with the NBA ranks LeBron James as one of the most decorated athletes of all time. However, while his playing days might be numbered, there are heirs to keep his legacy alive. Notably, following the footsteps of their legendary father, both of the King’s sons have taken the world of basketball by storm. Both Bronny and Bryce James are currently playing for one of the best basketball programs, Sierra Canyon. While the elder prince has made strides as four-star recruit, LeBron James’ youngest son is making the headlines. In his recent game, he displayed elegant technique that might shock even Michael Jordan.
As generations have passed, the basketball offense has evolved in multiple dimensions. However, every offensive savant no matter what era seems to have one shot that validates their status, the iconic fadeaway. A smooth shot moving away like His Airness is one many modern day stars have struggled to master. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are some of the few players who kept the lineage going.
