LeBron James, who turned 40, celebrated his birthday on Monday, a day that always attracts global attention from fans and players alike. One of the greatest basketball players of all time, James' influence has inspired countless young athletes, including Robinson, who plays at the Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles as does James’ son, Bryce James.

Robinson's admiration for King James runs deep and goes back to her formative years when the young guard was learning the ways of basketball.

In a past interview with the "Sloane Knows" YouTube channel, Robinson credited LeBron for shaping her approach to the game. When Sloane, the host of the show, asked the FIBA Under-17 World Cup gold medalist which NBA or WNBA player she would want to be like, Robinson replied:

"Now, as I grow, well, early on, I would say it was really a lot of LeBron,” emphasizing how much she admired his style and ability to dominate across all aspects of basketball.

Besides the NBA's King, Bryce James's schoolmate, Jerzy Robinson, admires this WNBA star

Jerzy Robinson, who led Team USA to a gold medal at the FIBA Under-17 World Cup and FIBA Under-16 Americas Championship, is ranked No. 3 in the Class of 2026 by ESPN in the 247Sports national ranking.

The 6-foot shooting guard takes inspiration from NBA legends like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant to hone her game. However, she also highly regards A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and tries to model her game after the WNBA star.

On the Sloane Knows' YouTube channel, she said:

"On the girl's side, I like A'ja Wilson. She has a great face-up game. She kind of learned how to extend past the 3-point line, so I love watching her."

The Sierra Canyon standout has also secured a nomination for the USA Basketball 5-on-5 Female Athlete of the Year Award this year. The 16-year-old is competing with none other than the WNBA star she admires, two-time WNBA champion A'ja Wilson.
