For many, LeBron James is the epitome of what a professional athlete should be. Currently, he serves as the face of Cleveland and the NBA in general. In recent news, his son, LeBron Jr, earned some infamy of his own by leading his team to an All-Star tournament victory in New Orleans. One source points out that the youngster has many skills that are far beyond his years. Clearly his father has taught him a lot. Also, the up-and-comer is gaining a lot of Internet fame on Twitter and Instagram.
LeBron Jr. is a ten-year-old fourth grader, but he plays like someone much older. Some have pointed out that he is already on the recruitment radar of many college basketball teams.
Little LeBron has already proven that he learns well. If he continues to follow in his father's footsteps, his success is surely guaranteed. According to TMZ Sports, he recently made a highlight-worthy performance that clutched victory for his team:
"More insane highlights from 10-year-old LeBron James Jr. -- who led his All-Star youth basketball team to victory this weekend in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the country. Bronny and his Gulf Coast Blue Chips squad ran the table at the John Lucas All Star Weekend invitation-only tournament in New Orleans...going undefeated in five games against really tough teams. But once again, all eyes were on Bronny...who was just KILLIN' IT...working an insane crossover, dribbling behind the back and hitting some deep 3s."
Bronny, as his father calls him, resembles his Cavalier dad in more ways than one. According to Mashable, his recent ball-out bumped up his social networking status:
"LeBron James Jr. is stuntin' like his daddy. The young progeny of Earth's greatest basketball playing human is in fourth grade, plays ball himself and earned himself some Internet props after showing off a sweet outside shot, impressive court vision and tight handle at a tournament over the weekend. Big LeBron also gave little Bronny a shoutout to his 19 million Twitter followers and 8.7 million Instagram followers..."
