(Fatherland) – Bronny James followed in his father’s footsteps and appeared on the cover of a famous sports magazine when he was just 16 years old.
LeBron James is one of the top athletes of his generation. Since he was in school, the Los Angeles Lakers star has been famous for his basketball talent. Talent that does not wait for age helps build reputation before entering the NBA.
Among the countless media platforms he has appeared on, many people know the name LeBron James through the famous sports magazine Sport Illustrated. The first time he appeared on a magazine cover and was dubbed “Natural talent”, the boy was only 17 years old.
Age has never been a problem for the Lakers, whether that number is 16 or 36, “King James” still shows admirable performance.
Therefore, fans have a lot of expectations for the star’s eldest son, Bronny James. Thanks to his father’s name, he received sports scholarships from universities when he was only 10 years old. In addition to inheriting basketball talent from the Lakers star, Bronny also has a passion for e-sports.
Recently, he succeeded his father when he was featured on the cover of Sport Illustrated magazine as a member of the Esports team FaZe Clan. Notably, Bronny beat LeBron’s record by doing this at the age of 16.
On social networks, fans sent congratulations to the young talent and praised the “like father, like son” couple. LeBron also celebrated his son’s success with the short hashtag #JamesGang and a crown emoji affirming his nickname “The King”.
Although father and son are honored in different fields, it is still too early to confirm the path that Bronny James will choose in the future. And it would be unfair for the young man to always have to follow his father’s shadow. As LeBron once shared, the media should not place too many expectations or put pressure on his family just because of the player’s great influence.
Since he was young, Bronny James has been under great pressure from the media for always running in his father’s shadow.
After stopping in the NBA this year, the Los Angeles Lakers star is temporarily putting aside his basketball career to enjoy time off with his family. Hopefully with LeBron’s guidance and direction, his son will develop his talent and achieve more success.
