After witnessing his father LeBron’s prowess on the NBA courts, Bryce James is preparing to do the same with his older brother Bronny, drafted by the Lakers.

He also spoke about his expectations for this duo that he knows well.

While Bronny and LeBron are focused on their respective summer programs — one playing in the Summer League and the other preparing for the Paris Olympics — he continues his training in relative discretion.

Participating in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League with his team Strive For Greatness, Bryce has shown in recent hours that he too has inherited the family genes with a big jump:

Bryce James’ Expectations for LeBron-Bronny Duo

The Lakers’ choice for Bronny in the draft was largely due to his defensive skills and physical abilities. That said, the idea of ​​pairing him with his father LeBron undoubtedly came into play as well.

Both are known to be capable of spectacular dunks, as well as passing, hence the expectations expressed by Bryce to Sam Lance of 247Sports :

Bryce James: It’s a great feeling to see them together, especially knowing how far Bronny has come after his cardiac arrest and all the struggles he’s had in his career and college. It’s incredible. To be honest, I’m already ready to celebrate their alley-oops.

A message of support mixed with a feeling of logical impatience.

Overall, the entire James family hopes to see LeBron and Bronny working together on the NBA courts as soon as possible and combining their talents to produce spectacular highlights.

It remains to be seen whether they will get the chance, since the young guard’s debut with the Lakers has left something to be desired so far.

Enough to justify the lack of enthusiasm expressed by Internet users in reaction to Bryce’s comments:

Who’s going to tell him… Bronny isn’t going to get any playing time…

With LeBron and Bronny James now teammates, Bryce hopes to see them alley-ooping on the NBA court very soon. But for that to happen, the Lakers rookie will probably have to be more convincing in JJ Redick’s eyes.
