Two NBA seasons ago, LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points scored in NBA history. It is an incredible milestone for someone who has been in the spotlight since he was a freshman in high school. This past weekend though, he celebrated a milestone that his son reached. Bronny James turned 20 years old yesterday (October 6th)! Continue reading to check out a gallery of our favorite photos of him over the years.
Similarly to his father, the young king has been in the national spotlight since he was very young. As the eldest child of LeBron James, Bronny was always expected to follow in his dad’s footsteps and play basketball also. By the age of ten, he was already being featured in highlight reels that drew national attention. Since then, he has continued to grow his game and stock tremendously. After finishing his high school career at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles, James Jr. chose to attend the University of Southern California. He unfortunately suffered a cardiac arrest health scare last July that cause him to have surgery. After successfully recovering, Bronny was able to finish his lone season as a Trojan and eventually be drafted in this year’s draft as the 55th overall pick. As the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Phoenix Suns last night, Bronny and his father became the first father-son duo to ever play in an NBA game on the same team together. Talk about historic!
Besides his athletic ability and basketball prowess, one thing you have to love about Bronny is that no matter how big he gets or how much attention he garners, he seems to remain focused and grounded. These are obviously important characteristics that were instilled in him by his legendary father. Another value LeBron and his wife Savannah surely taught their son was the importance of family. It’s very common to see Bronny supporting his younger brother Bryce at his AAU/high school basketball games or posting his baby sister Zhuri being adorable. The #JamesGang is royalty. To celebrate one of the princes, we put together a gallery of some of our favorite photos of Bronny and the family over the years. HAPPY 20TH BRONNY!
