LeBron James Jr. is 12 years old, and he’s probably already better at basketball than you ever will be.
Bronny — who reportedly has standing offers to play for Duke and Kentucky — took the Quicken Loans Arena floor after Cleveland’s 114-84 win over the Miami Heat to shoot some hoops. His dad was on hand to watch, record, and then brag about his pre-teen son casually sinking a halfcourt shot with ease.
“Bronny showing the range post game!!” James posted to Instagram. “Something lite. #JamesGang? #StriveForGreatness?”
It’s not the most practical of shots, but it’s still pretty impressive. LeBron James Jr. goes from casually spinning a basketball on his finger to taking a few steps, planting off his left foot, and launching the ball down the court with ease.
Someone actually yells out “got it!” before the ball swishes through the net. Was it him? Is he also more confident than you’ll ever be? Probably. Youth once served us well, and now it is coming to ruin us all. LeBron James has three kids and his oldest is already a college basketball prospect. LeBron James Jr. has a superstar dad slowly collecting material for his highlight reel.
LeBron’s next Instagram post was of his youngest daughter, Zhuri, smiling with the Cavs mascot. She’s already two.
We are all so old.
