It’s no surprise that LeBron James Jr. can flat out ball. Like father like son, right? The 10-year-old LeBron Jr. — also known as ‘Bronny’ — is already being recruited by multiple colleges, and his father is unhappy about it.
James confirmed to reporters during Tuesday’s shoot-around that LeBron Jr. is being sought after by numerous universities.
“Yeah, he’s already got some offers from colleges,” James told CBS Detroit. “It’s pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn’t be recruiting ten-year-old kids.”
James did not mention any of the schools who have contacted his son.
Recent videos of Bronny balling have gone viral.
“He plays just like I did,” James said. “He has great awareness, and he’d rather pass first and set guys up. Most kids nowadays just want to score.”
Bronny has got a ton of talent for a youngster and basketball is clearly in his DNA, but the kid hasn’t even reached middle school yet. He is eight years removed from having to decide which college to attend — a process his father never went through as he jumped straight from high school to the NBA. That is now illegal under NBA league rules.
