The next season will see the much-anticipated debut of LeBron James‘ son, Bronny James. Fans will witness history as they become the first father-son duo in the NBA to play at the same time. Before the start of the 2024-25 season, the younger James will need to put in a lot of practice before gradually showing signs of becoming an NBA superstar.
Recently, a viral video on social media showed Bronny James working out for the upcoming NBA season. The video captured James Jr. improving his shooting form by hitting many tough jump shots. Even though defense stands as one of his main powers on the court, his smooth jumper can also be one of the deadly weapons in his arsenal. He played at the same place during his high school before teaming up with USC Trojans.
The NBA summer league witnessed Bronny James struggling with his shot initially, but as he found his rhythm, his jumper began to land, and he started contributing offensively to the team. His jumper still requires significant polishing, as he only shot 35% from the field and 15.8% from three. With a polished jumper and exceptional defensive skills, Bronny James has the potential to become one of the best two-way guards in the league in the near future.
James Jr. will join his father LeBron James, who is considered to have the sharpest minds in basketball, on the court next season. This partnership could definitely help the younger James improve his decision-making abilities. Fans can anticipate Bronny James entering the game off the bench in his rookie season and will need to demonstrate consistency to earn more playing time.
