Bronnie James shone on the basketball court from a young age, growing up in the spotlight of his father, NBA superstar LeBron James. But in 2023, the world watched as he faced a life-threatening ordeal, but then rose up again and went down in sports history as a wonderful father and son.
LeBron James and his wife Savannah are the proud parents of three children: Bronnie, Bryce and Juri. Although the couple may be known for their influence in the NBA world, they try to be a close-knit family at home.
Their eldest son, Bronnie, born on October 6, 2004, followed in his father’s footsteps, demonstrating outstanding talent on the basketball court. He’s 20 now, and he’s making headlines in the LeBron James style. However, his path was far from easy.
From an early age, Bronnie James proved that he inherited his father’s basketball skills. As a standout player at Sierra Canyon High School, Bronnie constantly showed off his skills, often in front of a packed audience.
One of his most memorable moments came during a game against his father’s alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary’s High School. LeBron watched him from the sidelines, and Bronny helped to score an impressive victory with a score of 59:56, intercepting the ball and stopping in the last minute.
LeBron’s excitement was palpable as he watched his son lead the team to victory. “It was a great day,” LeBron shared later. “To see my son playing against my former team, and then how he played the most important game in the match — it was a little surreal.”
This game, which also marked the first time LeBron had the opportunity to personally watch Bronny play in high school, cemented his status as a rising star.
Bronnie wasn’t just making waves on the court, he was also breaking new ground. At the age of 16, he became the youngest member of the James family to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.
