LeBron James Makes a Bold Prediction About Bronny’s Career

• LeBron James has praised his eldest son, Bronny, saying he can get 30 points in a game if he wants
• Bronny was recently listed as a potential top 10 draft pick by ESPN in the 2020 NBA Draft
• The Los Angeles Lakers superstar recently said he wants to play on the same floor with his son

LeBron James is playing in his 20th season, and despite playing at a high level, he is close to finally retiring.

Before he does that, he wants to play with his son, Bronny, in the NBA. He recently showered praise on his eldest son, saying he can average 30 points per game if he wants to.

Bronny is currently a high school senior at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles. He was recently projected as a top 10 Draft pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by ESPN.

Due to the current age rules, the 18-year-old will only be eligible for the 2024 NBA Draft. Therefore, the first time a father and son play with or against each other would be in the 2024/25 season. James would turn 40 years old that season, too, per CBS Sports.

In the ESPN mock draft, Bronny has significantly improved his shooting, perimeter defending, and playmaking, making him a top 10 pick.

LeBron on Bronny's improvement

James, who recently became the NBA's all-time leading scorer, was asked about his son's game and said he has improved almost every aspect of the game.

"I think Bronny has shown that. (He) Plays the game the right way every single night. You know if he wanted to he can, I mean if you want to, He can shoot 20 shots a night and average 30. But it's not always about this. It's about how you can go out and play the right way and play for your team, and all he cares about is winning with great basketball players."

According to ESPN, Bronny has plenty of room to improve other aspects of his game to become an elite shot-creator.

When he gets to the NBA, the 6-foot-3 guard will surely be in the shadow of his great-father.

Sports Brief earlier reported on LeBron saying he would like to get on the floor with his son before he retires.

It will be the fourth pairing in the four major U.S. men’s sports after Gordie played with Mark and Marty Howe in the NHL, and Ken Griffey and Tim Raines played with their sons in MLB.
