This season, NBA fans have been captivated by the father-son duo of LeBron James and Bronny James in Los Angeles. Bronny, in particular, has drawn significant attention since being drafted in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft and for his performances in the G League.
Now, Bronny is generating buzz among fans once more — not because of anything he's done, but because of his striking resemblance to someone:
After the Houston Texans defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 at the NRG Stadium, fans couldn't help but point out the resemblance between Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. — whose contract is worth $35,212,827 according to Spotrac — and Bronny James:

"LeBron gotta answer some questions," joked one netizen.
"Boy like like a 30 year old bronny," observed another.
"Either Bron got another son or this Bronny cousin," said another online user.
Other fans were more focused on the Texans' wild-card win:
"Thank you, TEXANS! GREAT WIN!" said one user.
"THEY SAID WE WERE A BYE GAME," said another.
Amidst all the Bronny jokes and excitement for the Texans, one fan chose to highlight the brilliance of Anderson Jr.:
"O’ captain my captain," said a fan on X.
The defensive end is one of seven captains named by the Texans for this season. This draws another parallel between Anderson Jr. and LeBron James, who is widely regarded as one of the most respected leaders in the NBA.
Podcaster claims that LeBron James cheated on his wife
As playful jabs about Anderson Jr.'s "true" father continue to surface, a podcaster has stirred the pot with sensational claims about LeBron's alleged infidelity.
During a recent stream, DJ Akademiks claimed that LBJ cheated on his wife with the help of a world-renowned rapper:
"Yo, LeBron. You and Drake used to go two-mans," claimed Akademiks. "You’ve been cheating on your g***amn wife! Drake used to facilitate the hosts and basically, essentially you can’t dance to a song about him being a pedophile."
It's worth noting that Akademiks is a reputed fan of Drake, and James's affinity for Kendrick Lamar, the Canadian rapper's nemesis, may have fueled the podcaster to make these claims. Thus far, no solid evidence has been presented to back Akademiks' "revelation."
