Having a superstar dad means fans start expecting the same or even better from you. Seeing the legacy that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has created, there are certain expectations that his children will undoubtedly be expected to live up to. LeBron’s elder son, Bronny James has been garnering attention for the past few years and it is not just because he is King James’ son.

Evidently, Bronny’s on-court skills didn’t go unnoticed as he started receiving several basketball scholarships from the young age of 10.
