Bronny has developed into an intriguing high school recruit. He's preparing for his junior year at Sierra Canyon, located in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. Just as his father has recently been sidelined with several injuries, Bronny is recovering from an injury as well.
The tcombo guard underwent knee surgery in February to repair a torn mensicus, and fans are curious to see how he will respond this year. The video James showed hints Bronny looks more than ready for a big year.
In another photo James posted on social media, Bronny's head is at the rim, drawing comments from NBA players like Stephen Curry and Chris Paul and former star Dwyane Wade, who teamed with James for two NBA titles with the Miami Heat.
There's no doubt the son of one of the most explosive athletes in NBA history has some good genes, and it looks as if Bronny, listed at 6-foot-3, is ready for a big junior season. The 17-year-old is ranked as the 38th-best recruit in the 2023 class by 247Sports.
