Bronny James will always be compared to his father, whether fairly or unfairly. But when it comes to his raw athleticism, King James himself had some high praise for his rookie son.
Bronny who is now a freshman at USC, has always had an impressive quickness and agility about him. A social media user posted a video of Bronny’s highlights and argued that he is just as athletic as Lebron, despite being several inches shorter. The video got to his father’s timeline and he wholeheartedly agreed.
James said that Bronny may very well be just as athletic as he was at the age of 19. The four-time NBA Champion was in his rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers at that age, averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game.
The question now is if Bronny James will show that same level of athleticism during the 2023-24 college basketball season. On July 24, Bronny James entered cardiac arrest in a summer workout with the Trojans. More evaluation discovered that he had a heart defect, and he got the required medical treatment. Earlier this month, James senior, shared a positive update on his son’s health.
“Bronny is doing extremely well,” James said at Lakers Media Day. “He has begun his rehab process to get back on the floor this season with his teammates at USC. (With) the successful surgery that he had, he’s on the up and up.
“It’s definitely a whirlwind, a lot of emotions for our family this summer. But the best thing we have is each other and we stuck behind each other and gave each other strength through the whole process. We are happy to see where he is today and we look forward to seeing what his future still has in store for him,” James said.
When Bronny does get back on the court, he will receive a lot of attention, and he will get the chance to prove that he has as much potential as his dad.
