Bronny James is looking more and more like his dad every day.
In the third quarter of Sierra Canyon School's 83-57 win over Campbell Hall on Tuesday in Los Angeles, the 15-year-old son of the NBA superstar LeBron James soared for a huge alley-oop that got his dad out of his seat.
With just under four minutes remaining in the quarter, one of Bronny's teammates took the ball out on the baseline and lobbed a pass toward the hoop for him. The freshman heir to King James' throne gobbled up the pass before slamming it down with his right hand.
The crowd erupted and rose to its feet. And as Bronny raced to the other end of the floor to get back on defense, his parents stood up and smiled courtside.
