NBA superstar LeBron James is one of the best players ever. He was one of the most hyped-up high school players coming into the league. He was dubbed as the ‘Chosen One’ as people expected he would be the heir to Michael Jordan. And he didn’t disappoint.
James hit the ground running in the NBA and lived up to the hype. While his style might be different from Jordan’s, he has been a very close contender. Much like the Bulls legend, James is also very successful off the court.

However, the journeys of his children are different. LeBron James was raised by a struggling single mother. On the other hand, James is one of the richest athletes in the world at the moment. So his children definitely have a comfortable life. However, that doesn’t downplay the amount of pressure that is on them because of their father’s stature.
Fans expect them to be as good as the former MVP on the basketball court. There are always eyes on them and their actions are always under the microscope. Recently, Bronny and Bryce James played together for the first time in a competitive match. And James took to Twitter to share the proud moment.

As per recent reports, Bronny James is being recruited by UCLA, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, and USC, among others. However, some fans feel that it is unfair.
