The last few days have been eventful for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and his family. Following his monumental feat of breaking the all-time NBA scoring record, his elder son, Bronny James, provided another opportunity for the family to celebrate. Moreover, Bronny’s recent progress in his career came as a perfect Valentine’s day treat for King James and his wife, Savannah. However, some fans didn’t receive the news well as they flooded in with cold-hearted comments.
18-year-old represented the Sierra Canyon High School basketball team and impressed everyone with his athleticism and dunking skills. Bronny currently ranks 28th in the ESPN recruitment database and is yet to confirm his college. However, a recent report suggested that he could choose the University of Oregon. Moreover, the prodigy recently stirred the internet as he is all set to make his international debut.
