Duke Recruiting: Bronnie Grows Up
Bron-Bron is no more.
It can’t be easy being LeBron James, Jr. On the one hand, the kid has a dad who is clearly dedicated to being a good father to his children.
On the other, his father is a global icon and he will have a very difficult time matching his accomplishments on the court.
Still, you can never say never. And while we’ve gotten used to seeing Bronnie as a slight, somewhat wispy kid, he’s not that anymore.
He’s 16 now and pretty clearly, he’s grown up. Take a look at this picture of him with his dad and a couple of other guys.
Like his dad, he looks like he could play football as easily as basketball. He’s still not as tall as LeBron, Sr. of course, but he's 16 and it’s not impossible to have a late growth streak. He could easily go from 6-2 to 6-7 in no time.
Duke is generally seen as a landing spot if he chooses to go to college because of Coach K’s relationship with LeBron Sr., a bond forged in the Olympics.
