[caption id="attachment_1515928" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1515928 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1023196827h.jpg" alt="Bronny James" width="1920" height="1269" /> High School: Boys Basketball Sierra Canyon at Notre Dame Jan 27, 2023 Los Angeles, CA, USA Sierra Canyon Trailblazers point guard Bronny James 0 looks on during warm up for the Battle of the Valley against the Notre Dame Knights played at Pauley Pavilion.

<h2>Bronny James Net Worth 2023</h2>
Bronny James sits at an estimated $6.1 million valuation according to ON3 NIL. As of 2023, Bronny boasts a net worth of $10.5 million. He has amassed this fortune through basketball, sponsorships and endorsements.

Currently a freshman at the University of Southern California (USC), Bronny is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Interestingly, though widely popular for his basketball skills and incredible defensive abilities as a tenacious guard, Bronny is an avid gamer.
<h2>Bronny James' early life </h2>
Bronny James was born on October 6, 2004, in Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up, the budding star explored various sports, including basketball, soccer, football and ice hockey. However, for safety concerns, his father advised him against playing football and ice hockey. In 2014, he began to truly shine in basketball, gaining wide recognition for his skills in high school. James attended Old Trail School in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, where he capped off his high school years with a championship win in the Independent School League.

On May 29, 2019, Bronny James embarked on a new chapter by enrolling at Sierra Canyon School, a prestigious K–12 institution in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. This marked the beginning of his freshman year in high school. There, he was joined by Zaire Wade, the son of father and NBA superstar LeBron James' longtime friend, Dwyane Wade.

After spending a significant four years at Sierra Canyon High School. Bronny James made an important decision for his college basketball career. Among his finalists, which included Ohio State and Oregon, he ultimately chose to commit to the University of Southern California (USC). This choice meant that James would remain close to home, in the same city as his father. At USC, he is pursuing a Business Administration major.
<h2>Bronny James' family and personal life</h2>
Bronny James is the eldest son of 4x NBA Champion <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/">LeBron James</a> and Savannah James. His younger brother Bryce James is a high school athlete who plays for Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. His younger sister Zhuri James is 9 years old and is a fashion enthusiast. 

Bronny is reportedly dating Peyton Gelfuso. He went to prom with her and shared a snap on social media giving steam to dating rumors. However, nothing is certain yet.

Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice session on July 24 this year. The 18-year-old incoming freshman was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and was released three days later.
<h2>Bronny James' career timeline</h2>
In 2018, Bronny attended Old Trail School in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, and concluded his high school years with a championship win in the Independent School League. In April 2019, He debuted with Strive for Greatness in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). 

On May 29, 2019, Bronny James started a new chapter by enrolling at Sierra Canyon School, a prestigious K–12 institution located in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. This marks the beginning of his freshman year in high school. In May 2023, Bronny made the decision to commit to the University of Southern California (USC).
<h2>Bronny James' career stats</h2>
Over four years at Sierra Canyon, Bronny James showcased his skills as a tenacious guard with a strong defensive presence. During his freshman year, he logged minutes in all 34 games, contributing 4.1 points per game. Unfortunately, a knee injury sidelined him for a significant part of his sophomore season. However, his junior year saw a resurgent Bronny leading Sierra Canyon to the regional finals, averaging 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

In his senior year, he further elevated his game, recording impressive statistics of 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. These stellar performances earned him a spot in the prestigious McDonald’s All-American Game, a notable achievement despite Sierra Canyon's underwhelming 23–10 record.

Bronny is now poised to make his mark at the collegiate level with USC. The 18-year-old star is also expected to declare for the NBA in the 2024 draft class.
<h2>Bronny James' partnerships and endorsements</h2>
On October 10, 2022, Bronny signed a NIL endorsement deal with Nike, making him one of the five amateur basketball players to do so. The Nike sponsorship for Bronny James doesn't come as a surprise, considering his father, LeBron James, has been a Nike athlete all his professional career. With LeBron signing a lifetime $1 billion contract with Nike in 2015, it's only fitting for Bronny to extend his basketball journey in his father's footsteps. Thanks to the new NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) regulations, Bronny secured endorsement deals before deciding which college to attend.

One month after the Bronny James Nike deal, he signed a NIL deal with popular headphone brand Beats by Dre. Moreover, Beats made the announcement on social media with a video advertisement campaign called, 'The Chosen One vs. The Chosen Son' - a face-off between LeBron James and his son Bronny James. 

His other featured commercials include Mountain Dew and a video commercial for the 2023-released Fast and Furious franchise film, Fast X.
<h2>Bronny James' major achievements and awards</h2>

Kyrie Irving

By age 4, Kyrie Andrew Irving could dribble between his legs. A point guard, currently plying his craft for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA, Irving played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils before being drafted with the first overall pick by the Cavaliers in 2011. After playing six seasons and winning Cleveland a historic championship alongside LeBron James, Irving moved to the Boston Celtics where he played for two seasons. Having become a free agent in the 2019-20 off-season, Irving signed with the Brooklyn Nets and formed a formidable duo with superstar forward Kevin Durant. In February 2023 after a messy exit from Brooklyn, Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, where he formed a partnership with Luka Doncic. Kyrie plays at the point guard position and is currently using jersey no. 11. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s early life Born March 23, 1992 in Melbourne, Australia. His parents, Drederick and Elizabeth Irving were professional basketball players in Australia at the time. When he was two, his family moved back to the United States and settled in West Orange, New Jersey. There is basketball heritage here, with his father Drederick playing college basketball at Boston University alongside Shawn Teague. And courtesy of his father, Kyrie started young too. He went on to attend Montclair Kimberley Academy for middle and high school and showed signs of brilliance. As a sophomore, he led them to their first Division championship in school history. Ranked among the top high school basketball prospects in his senior year, he received scholarship offers from Duke, Kentucky, and other top NCAA programs. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s wife and children Kyrie Irving is not currently married. Previously, he was in a long-term relationship with Kehlani Parrish, an R&amp;B singer. For the most part, Irving keeps his dating life private. Irving has one daughter named Azurie Elizabeth, born on November 23, 2015. Her mother is Andrea Wilson, Kyrie&#8217;s ex-girlfriend. The player previously stated that fatherhood has made him &#8220;a more emotional person&#8221; and that being a father has given him &#8220;more compassion in this world.â€Â  Kyrie Irving&#8217;s net worth 2024 According to Forbes&#8217; 2024 report, the net worth of the Mavericks guard stands at $120 million, encompassing both his on-court earnings and off-court ventures. Irving has maintained an average annual contract salary of $22.5 million over his career. Additionally, he secured an $11 million endorsement deal with Nike for his signature &#8220;Kyrie&#8221; shoes, which proved to be top sellers for the brand. However, following an anti-Semitic tweet, Nike chose to sever ties with Irving. Subsequently, in 2023, Irving inked a new sneaker agreement with the Chinese sportswear powerhouse &#8220;Anta.&#8221; &nbsp; Kyrie Irvingâ€™s career timelineÂ  Back in January, Irving was named an Eastern Conference starter for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, his eighth selection and sixth as a starter. In February, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. During a game in March, Irving scored 40 points while his teammate, Luka Doncic, scored 42 points. It was the first time in Dallas franchise history that two players scored 40 points in the same game.Â  In July 2019, the Nets signed Irving in free agency. On his debut, he scored 50 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But he played just 20 games for the Nets in his first season owing to a shoulder injury. In the 2021-22 season, he missed the first half of the season due to his insistence on not getting vaccinated against Covid-19. He eventually started playing in the away games in cities that didn&#8217;t have a vaccine mandate. After New York City also lifted its vaccine requirements, Irving made his season debut at the Barclays Center. However, the Nets were swept in the First Round of the Playoffs by his former employers, Boston Celtics. There were many reports of Irving wanting out of Brooklyn by declining his player option for the final year of the contract. However, Irving opted into the contract, returning to the Nets for the 2022-23 season. Irving, nevertheless, had a tumultuous tenure with the Brooklyn Nets marred by injuries, suspension for promoting an antisemitic film, and conflicts over his stance on not getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Tensions boiled over between Irving and the Nets organization, making a trade appear inevitable before the February deadline.

Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports On February 5, 2023, the Nets traded Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris to the Dallas Mavericks. In return, the Nets received Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round pick, and multiple second-round picks from Dallas. The Mavericks hoped adding the star scoring of Irving would help Doncic and push them higher up in the competitive Western Conference. However, the Mavs struggled to integrate Irving seamlessly into their lineup down the stretch of the 2022-23 season. Interestingly, Irving had about $36.5 million left on his contract for 2022-23 when traded to Dallas. He is eligible for a contract extension with the Mavericks this summer but his future in Dallas remains uncertain. Kyrie Irving contracts According to multiple reports, Irving has agreed to a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mavericks, featuring a player option for the third season. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s salary for the 2023/24 NBA season amounts to $37,037,037. Irving is presently committed to the Dallas Mavericks for a three-year contract valued at $126 million. His status will transition to unrestricted free agency in 2026. By the conclusion of the 2023/24 NBA season, Irving will have amassed a total career earnings of $270,083,674. Â Kyrie Irvingâ€™s Investments After signing a new brand partnership with ANTA and unveiling his new logo, Irving invested in KICKS CREW due to its track record and commitment to building a player-owned and empowered platform. The partnership was driven by a mutual desire to democratize the sneaker marketplace and unite communities through sneaker culture. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s role as Chief Community Officer also showcased a cause-driven, community-centric approach, empowering new brands and collaborations that blended art and basketball in new ways. His efforts extended globally, including initiatives and projects that positively impacted the Middle East and Africa, embodying a broader social and cultural engagement vision. Kyrie&#8217;s endorsement deals, which encompass partnerships with Panini, Anta, and Pepsi, contribute approximately $17 million to his earnings. &nbsp; Kyrie Irving stats Career AveragesÂ  Points: 23.4 Assists: 5.7 Rebounds: 3.9 Steals: 1.1 Field Goal %: 47.3% 3-Point %: 39.2% Best Scoring Seasons 2021-22 (Brooklyn): 27.4 ppg 2019-20 (Brooklyn): 27.4 ppg 2016-17 (Cleveland): 25.2 ppg NBA Awards/Honors NBA Champion (2016 with Cleveland) 7x NBA All-Star (2013-2015, 2017-2019, 2021) All-NBA Second Team (2019) NBA Rookie of the Year (2012) NBA Three-Point Contest champion (2013) Playoff Stats 23.9 points per game in 106 career playoff games Scored 41 points in Game 5 of 2016 Finals to lead Cavs comeback Other 60-point game vs. Orlando in 2022 (career high) One of 7 players with 25+ ppg in both NBA Finals &amp; Olympics 12th all-time in 3 PM made (1,454 entering 2022-23) &nbsp; Kyrie Irvingâ€™s Records Youngest All-Star MVP: In 2014, Irving became the youngest player to win the NBA All-Star Game MVP award at the age of 21, showcasing his prowess among the league&#8217;s elite.

He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time.

The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James.

LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million.

The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
