Plenty of basketball fans are already familiar with Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA superstar LeBron James, but the high school senior got a chance to shine on the biggest stage yet at Tuesday’s McDonalds All-American game.
Under the bright lights of the Toyota Center in Houston, James dazzled for the West team, scoring 15 points while adding four assists and two steals in 19 minutes played. Bronny’s West squad fell in a hotly contested game to the East, 107–106, but the Sierra Canyon star stood out from many of the other top prospects with his performance.
James, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard, impressed particularly with his three-point shooting in the annual showcase. He went 5-for-8 from beyond the arc, coming up just one made three-pointer short of Gerald Green’s McDonalds All-American game record.
