LeBron James, the basketball legend, had a heartwarming moment with his son Bronny at the McDonald’s All-American Game held last night, leaving fans and spectators in awe.
The McDonald’s All-American game, one of the most prestigious high school basketball games in the United States, showcases some of the top high school basketball talents from across the country.
This year’s two highlights were current Los Angeles Lakers star player LeBron James’ elder son Bronny James, and former NBA player Dajuan Wagner’s son DJ Wagner.
LeBron James was a proud father seeing his son shinning on the court
Bronny James, the only uncommitted player of the game, moonlighted as a hero in yesterday’s McDonald’s All-American game by scoring 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting-all five coming from 3-point range. Reportedly, the 18-year-old’s 5-of-8 effort from beyond the arc tied him for the second-most 3s in the game’s history.
After junior LeBron knocked down his first triple of the game, senior LeBron was head over heels as he was rising his feet in celebration.

Despite an incredible performance on the court, Bronny’s West team went down 109-106 to the East. The NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James was also mesmerized by his son’s incredible performance as he emerged from the crowd and gave him a handshake, causing a roar of excitement from the audience.

The heartwarming moment has made waves in the basketball community, with fans and players alike expressing their admiration for LeBron and Bronny for their spectacular performances and amazing father-son relationship.
The 6-foot-3 James signed a NIL (name, image, and likeliness) deal with Nike back in October, hence, he was seen standing out on the court with bright pink sneakers while his fellow counterparts were all adorned in Adidas as high school all-star game is sponsored by the company.
Reportedly, the four-star prospect has offers from Southern California, Memphis, Ohio, and Oregon.
Will Bronny be able to continue the legacy of his dad? Or Will he outperform the NBA legend? What do you think? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
