"LeBron faking injuries to see him play" - Bronny James viral highlight reel in playoff win for Sierra Canyon sparks hilarious reactions from fans!

LeBron James was in attendance as his eldest son, Bronny, helped Sierra Canyon advance to the CIF Southern California Regional Division 1 semifinals. The LA Lakers legend, who is currently injured, was a proud father after his son's performance.

Bronny played like it was his final high school game, finishing with a game-high 21 points. He led Sierra Canyon to a 61-55 win over Etiwanda High School. He was on fire from start to finish, hitting two 3-point shots at the start of the second half. He also gave the Trailblazers a lift early in the final period.

The No. 3 Sierra Canyon will face No. 2 Bishop Montogomery on Saturday night in Torrance, California. It could be Bronny's final game, with the 18-year-old guard still mum about his next move, though he's expected to play college basketball.

After the game, LeBron James congratulated his son on Twitter for having a great performance. James has been very supportive of Bronny, who is expected to be part of the 2024 NBA draft class.

As usual, fans reacted to the news of Bronny's viral performance. They even noticed how LeBron was able to watch the game despite missing the LA Lakers' game in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.

Granted, "The King" is currently out with a right foot injury. However, he was in attendance and wearing a walking boot in the Lakers' loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Here are some of the best reactions to James watching his son play live:

Others also noted how Bronny has improved his game over the past year. He completely took over the game and willed his team to a victory. He was recently projected to get selected at No. 10 by the Orlando Magic in the 2024 NBA draft.
