A day after the NBA draft lottery, one of the most important prospects in the 2024 class received positive news about his ability to play in the association.

Bronny James, Lebron James‘ oldest son, found out that he would be medically cleared to play in the NBA and took part in the NBA combine a day later. James Jr. had heart issues last summer and did not start USC’s regular season on time. He never found his footing with the Trojans and played less than 20 minutes a game, while Isaiah Collier, another freshman Guard on Southern Cal, averaged the second most on the team in points and minutes. USC finished under .500 last year and did not make the NCAA tournament.

Coming into the combine, James was projected with a 50-50 chance of getting drafted. However, his electric shooting performance boosted his stock. He finished tops in the three-point shooting drill, splashing 19-25 from beyond the arc while making 12 in a row at one point. He continued his impressive day as he leaped out of the gym with a 40.5” vertical jump. Scouts were taken aback by his athletic numbers, even if he only measured 6’1”, a short number for NBA players.

His day took a downturn when he played at 5-on-5 and participated in the combine scrimmages. James Jr. totaled just four points on 2-8 shooting with four rebounds and three steals. Scouts felt he saw the floor nicely and made the right play most of the time, but his lack of production halted his rise up draft boards.

However, what happens off the court may impact his draft stock more than on it. Although James Jr. does an excellent job trying to focus on himself and not his dad, his father does not always do the same. Lebron James has repeatedly stated that he wants to play on the same team with his son before he retires. With James turning 40 in December and able to opt out of his contract in June, where Bronny James gets drafted could influence where the elder James plays next season.

LeBron James usually wows fans with his ball-handling and shooting on the court, but on Sunday it was him who was in the stands watching his son play.

LeBron James’ Eldest Son Attempts dunk

The 33-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers star couldn’t help but look surprised after his eldest son LeBron Jr. tried to dunk during a game as part of a tournament at Southwest Miami Senior High School.

LeBron Jr. was not able to successfully make the dunk, but his father still seemed impressed.

Last year, the King told reporters that his son is a more prolific shooter and passer than he was at that age.

“I didn’t handle the ball as well as he does, he handles the ball exceptionally well and he shoots a lot better than I did at that age,” James said last year.

Rumors have swirled in recent days over the possibility of James joining the Los Angeles Lakers next season.

Lebron James Jr., son of NBA superstar Lebron James, was playing with his 4th grade basketball team at the 2014 Ronald Searles Holiday Tournament. And while no one wants to live up to the pressure of being the son of Lebron James, Junior shows that he has picked up a thing or two from watching his father.

As TMZ Sports reported, James Jr., who wears the number zero, is a top ranked 4th grader: with the above video showing that the little kid has got some height and game on the teams that he played. Afterward, Lebron tweeted out support and congratulations to his son’s team: even instagramming photos of them in action.

Lebron can be seen next on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Christmas Day versus his old team the Miami Heat.
