LeBron James’ daughter Zhuri steals the show with a hilarious reaction to King James’ perfect 10 scores for Bronny’s dunk.
On March 28th, the McDonald’s All-American Dunk Contest took place, and it did not disappoint. The contest had two main attractions: the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest. Jared McCain won the three-point contest, but the real action took place in the slam dunk contest. This contest featured Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, and Sean Stewart, a Duke prospect.
It’s cool. Should have been 10s across the board! For sure. Hahaha

How Did LeBron James’ Son Bronny Steal the Show?
Bronny James’ performance in the slam dunk contest was exceptional, to say the least. For his first dunk, he threw a lob and performed a two-handed reverse slam dunk that had the crowd and judges on their feet. Bronny earned a respectable score of 65 points, with some judges even awarding him a perfect 10.
Bronny’s family was undoubtedly hyped, with his father and mother both giving him perfect scores. However, his sister Zhuri had a different opinion. The eight-year-old cutie was captured on camera giving her brother a score of 9, disagreeing with her father’s evaluation. LeBron James took to Twitter to express his disappointment in the scoring and insisted that Bronny deserved a perfect score across the board.

The outcome of the Slam Dunk Contest
Bronny’s final dunk featured his brother Bryce, whom he tried to jump over four times before finally clearing him and executing a powerful dunk. Although Zhuri gave him a perfect score this time, it wasn’t enough to take the win, as Sean Stewart ultimately won the contest.
