NBA superstar LeBron James was a freak of nature. As a teenager, James became a national sensation thanks to his mind-boggling athleticism and skill set. The Chosen One was compared to Michael Jordan when he was still in high school because of his athletic prowess. He was also compared to Magic Johnson because of his passing ability. At 38, he is still displaying that athleticism and playing at a high level. It is safe to say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to James’ children.

Bronny and Bryce James are following their father’s path in pursuing basketball. Recently, Bronny went viral because of some highlight plays. Now the spotlight is on his younger brother Bryce.
