LeBron James Jr. is a human highlight reel, just like his father.
The 13-year-old rising star has been tearing it up across the country in recent years, and his unnatural skill set for a kid his age has given us an idea of just how special he could one day be on the court.
For James Jr., he’s gone from tossing alley-oops to Hassan Whiteside at a Miami Pro-Am just one year ago, to showing off in front of his godfather, Chris Paul, at the 2018 John Lucas All-Star Weekend event.
Take a look at James Jr.’s latest highlight reel below: (H/T FTW)
At just 13, the kid already has a fantastic handle, as he seems to have taken on the floor general mentality from his father. James Jr. is also super athletic, chasing down blocks from behind or straight up stepping in front of a driving player to swat his attempt into the stands. His court vision is unmatched, passing the ball from all kinds of difficult angles to find the open man for easy buckets.
All too often the son of a transcendent athlete — whether it be football, basketball or really any sport — simply can’t live up to his father’s name. If anyone has the ability to draw even, or maybe even one day surpass his old man, it seems James Jr. has it all.
