Basketball is a lucrative sport, no questions about it. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports as well. With the discipline and dedication required to be great at the game, it is only fair that the athletes are paid well.

NBA legend LeBron James’ sons Bronny and Bryce James currently play for the Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, CA. Bronny is one of the finest upcoming talents in basketball and is expected to make the 2024 NBA draft. The 18-year-old is also in the McDonald’s All-American 2023. The McDonald’s All-American Game recognizes the finest talents in high-school basketball. Players that make the team go on to play for decent college teams, a big stepping stone to eventually making it to the NBA.
Incidentally, Bronny has been making headlines recently regarding his college pick. King James has repeatedly expressed his desire to play with Bronny in the NBA on the same team. However, before that dream realized, one company endorsed by James has made what may seem like another dream come true for the players of Sierra Canyon basketball.
