In the world of basketball, hardly any player could be compared with the Los Angeles Lakers icon LeBron James. The All-Time top scorer has continually shown his mettle on the hardwood. However, in terms of a suitable comparison, the case is different when speaking about his elder son, Bronny James. The whizz-kid is still finding his feet. Nevertheless, earlier this year, he accomplished an achievement that his father achieved almost 20 years back. Moreover, his high school, Sierra Canyon honored him for his achievement, and in light of this, the four-time champion showered love and adulation on his social media handle.

Brony might be the son of King James but they are vastly different in size and even in terms of their style of play. The now 18-year-old is 6ft 3″ whereas his father is 6ft 9″. The whizz-kid is a proficient ball handler while his father is noted for his passing skills and explosiveness. However, they have one similarity: both of them made it into McDonald’s All-American team. The 19x All-Star made it into the 2003 McDonald’s All-American team while Bronny has now bagged a spot in the 2023 team.
