Lakers superstar LeBron James recently shared a video of his son, Bronny, playing a scrimmage game in China with his Sierra Canyon High School teammates.
In the clip, Bronny can be seen pulling off a flashy up and under move. The 14-year-old received a pass on the wing, staggered his defender with a nasty studder-step, then made his way to the hoop. Being the proud parent that he is, LeBron decided to share the footage of his son's play:

Bronny James and Zaire Wade (son of Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade) decided to transfer to Sierra Canyon this summer. They aren't the only star prospects on the team's roster this season, though. Ziaire Williams and Brandon “BJ” Boston Jr. have joined the team as well. As a result, many high school hoops experts are labeling them a “superteam.”
During a recent practice, Bronny and Zaire, 17, became involved in an impromptu dunk contest. Both pulled off nice jams, but look closely and you'll notice subtle differences:
Earlier this summer, MaxPreps sent out a tweet asking what should be expected of Bronny at Sierra Canyon. The Lakers superstar actually saw this tweet and decided to reply:
Expect a kid that will play for his teammates. Will work hard, pay his dues and when his number is called he’ll make mistakes like any kid but will be ready and coached very well. Someone who doesn’t care about rankings cause the only thing that matters is his team success. 🙏🏾💯 https://t.co/qfUeZN0pzO

LeBron and the Lakers will be looking to make a push for the playoffs in the coming season, to be sure. However, it's clear that he'll always have time to be a proud dad.
