For the past year or so, we’ve marveled at LeBron James Jr.’s already-insane basketball skill-set, as well as his game’s uncanny resemblance to his father’s. And we’re not the only ones who have taken notice. Bronny is barely 11 years old, but he’s already garnering interest from college recruiters, much to the chagrin of his father.
All the exposure is a bit much at such an early age. Sometimes, you just have to let kids be kids. That’s what the elder LeBron did on Saturday afternoon when Bryce and Bronny went head-to-head in a little friendly sibling rivalry. Bronny is already showing signs of his dad’s world-class athleticism, easily throwing down a one-handed jam on an 8.5′ rim.
Younger brother Bryce is no slouch himself. At one point, he drains a long three-pointer, a la his father’s number one West Coast rival these past two seasons. It’s a part of the overall repertoire his older brother hasn’t neglected either. Both obviously have the genetic predisposition for the hardwood and are starting to show signs of evolving talent as well. But for the sake of everyone’s sanity, let’s hold off on the college recruitment letters for at least another five or six years.
