Being LeBron James‘ son, Bronny James has big shoes to fill with his upcoming draft in the NBA. As Bronny announced his draft earlier than expected, many raised questions about the 19-year-old’s eligibility for the professional league. Hence LeBron James Jr. so far is giving his all to shut down all the doubts and criticism on his.
As the draft is now around the corner, Bronny James is going through the NBA Draft Combine. After being medically clear, Bronny also showed some skills that shocked multiple basketball enthusiasts.
Bronny has certainly taken some athleticism from his father LeBron James as the USC Trojans guard had a 40.5-inch max vertical jump with a height of 6’1″. This was the fourth-highest jump of the day among all the other draft participants.
Despite being similarities between him and his legendary dad, Bronny plays the position of a guard, hence, the athlete showed off some shooting skills. Bronny had a stunning shooting drill, where he started strong by making 12 straight three-pointers from different angles. The youngster ended up making 19 of his 25 attempts, making him the second-best of the day in this discipline.
Last year, Bronny went through a cardiac arrest which had an impact on his game. The guard was performing below par at USC, averaging 4.8 points and 2.8 rebounds during his freshman year. Hence, many had doubts after the youngster announced the draft only after one year in college.
