LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Ja Morant and others in NBA react to Bronny James’ viral poster dunk
Like father, like son.
On Monday, LeBron James’ son Bronny buzzed all over social media after throwing one vicious Dunk on a fast break in an overseas game.
Bronny has competed in a European basketball tour for the California Basketball Club and has made headlines on a number of occasions. That highlight crossed continents as his poster dunk quickly went viral.
Bronny is from another galaxy. ๐ฑ

Veterans and former NBA players like Isaiah Thomas, Jamal Crawford and Kendrick Perkins also had something to say at the Poster Slam.

The dunk, of course, immediately drew comparisons to LeBron, who hit a very similar dunk a few years ago as a member of the Cavaliers.

It was just another proud father moment for LeBron, who just last week expressed how emotional he got at seeing Bronny and his youngest son Bryce share the yard for the first time.

There will be more on this front shortly as Bronny and Bryce prepare for their senior and sophomore year at Sierra Canyon High School next year.
