LeBron James lauds son Bronny James' effort as Sierra Canyon reaches semis Les Schwab invitational tournament

Bronny James, LeBron James' son, is one of the best young basketball players in the world. The 18-year-old has had some fantastic performances and has led his Sierra Canyon high school team to the semifinals at the Les Schwab invitational tournament.

Like his dad two decades ago, Bronny is having a lot of success in high school. While he's far from being the best player in his class, the 6-foot-3 guard continues to improve and could one day become a star in the NBA.

Thanks to his impressive performances at the tournament, Bronny was selected to the All-Tournament team. His father, who has closely followed his performances, congratulated him on Instagram.

LeBron, who recently turned 38, has three more years left on his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he has a Player Option for the 2024-25 season, which will be Bronny's first season in the NBA.

Thanks to his flexible contract, the four-time NBA champion will be able to opt out of it when his son enters the league. Due to this, the two will be able to team up and become the only father-son duo in the league's history.
