WATCH: Bronny James Jr. Channels His Dad, LeBron, For Epic Chase-Down Block
You have all heard the saying ‘Like father, like son,’ right? Here’s a perfect example of how’s that in real life. Take a look at LeBron James’ son, Bronny Jr., performing an epic chase-down block.
The block came Sunday during Bronny’s AAU basketball game with the North Coast Blue Chips. LeBron’s son took flight and pinned the ball against the glass to prevent a would-be layup.

People couldn’t miss the chance to compare Bronny’s style with his father’s. ESPN even matched it up LeBron’s 2016 Game 7 Finals block on Andre Iguodala.

Having a basketball superstar as a father is not easy, and Bronny certainly feels some sort of a pressure. As he enters his first year of high school at the Crossroads School, all eyes will be on him.
LeBron’s eldest child already has a collegiate scholarship offer from Kentucky and took an unofficial visit at Duke nearly one year ago. With The King’s genes and a quality background, we’re sure to expect more highlight-reel-worthy plays like this in the future.
