The world of sports this season has been mesmerized by the father-son duo of LeBron James and Bronny James. Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers drafted James Jr. as the 55th pick, he has been garnering a lot of attention. With added attention comes added scrutiny, and he’s been the target of both this year.
Bronny James has come under the media microscope once again, this time for an uncanny resemblance to an NFL defensive end. Houston Texans’ new defensive end, Will Anderson Jr., is going viral after he shared a video message following the team’s win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Fans couldn’t help but notice the eerie facial similarity between LeBron James’ son and the defensive end. The 23-year-old NFL player does look like a carbon copy of Bronny James.
“If God be for you, who can be against you? Houston, this is for y’all, man. Thank y’all for loving us, man. We appreciate y’all. On to the next!” – Will Anderson Jr. after the victory over the Chargers
