Oldest and youngest Ball brothers were just as good or better at age 14. It is too soon! Stop.

Maybe. Let's see. Perhaps he will end up going the college route if he can't go straight to the pro's like his Dad.

honestly, I just don't see it.

weird to say for LeBron's son, but he just doesn't have the athleticism. He's not super quick, unimpressive hops, not a great shooter.......he's basically the super version of the coaches son. He's average size, decent athleticism, average shooter, smart, pretty good court vision, good feel for the game, always makes the right pass and is fundamentally sound. that sounds like a solid D1 starter at best.

when your mixtape has missed dunks and mostly lay-ups.......it's a bit early to talk about NBA.

If he grows a couple inches and becomes a knockdown shooter, then we can talk. He doesn't look anywhere quick enough to get by NBA wings, so how is he going to score?

He is only 14...

I feel sorry for him in a way. 1) how many 14 year old's "pan out"? 2) How many kids of superstars succeed? The pressure has to be far greater than if he were Joe Montgomery Jr.

Carries the ball over and over, doesn't dribble, just like his Dad. That's cheating. Wilt, West, Goodrich, Archibald, etc...never did that. Arrogant show off, that's all.

really? I thought he actually seemed pretty humble, especially considering he has a super famous father. Seems very unselfish and usually moved the ball and makes the right pass rather than trying to be the hero.

Either the young lad will make it to N.B.A. or he will not. The number of N.B.A. stars who's sons become N.B.A. stars are rare. Rarely do N.B.A. stars procreate with females who will most likely produce future N.B.A. stars. Eg. Marcellus Wiley, former N.F.L. guy on FS1. I heard him say his mother is 6'1" 250 lbs. How many N.B.A. stars are dating women that fit that profile? What would happen to L James' son if he does not make it in N.B.A.? He'll be okay either way.

I've watched the game for over 40 years, he does in fact carry the ball and is trying to be a show off. The show boating after making a shot is ridiculous. Oh well, karma's a b*tch. Agreed, that's arrogance.

Does he spend his spare time attacking other 14-year old kids online?

I don't think the poster attacked anyone. You've gotta be a lying liberal racist to make that statement. He carries the ball and showboats, that's not attacking anyone but obviously you've got issues beaman, work on them.[/quote]

AAU ball promotes this type of behavior. It will be interesting to see him play with Wade and others on his HS team.

Ball brothers are very overrated

Bronny looks great and is definitely league-bound. Even if his game wasn't up to NBA level (which it looks like it will be in a few years) he will be signed just because of his name. Lebron has also made it clear that he will play for whichever team signs Bronny; his biggest goal is to share the court with his son. The only question is when.. directly out of HS, or one and done?

Also, Lamelo ball will go top 3 in next years draft, barring injury. His game has taken off; 6'7 point guard who can do it all.

I think Lameo projected as late lottery right now....

and yes, if Bronny grows half a foot then he has a much better chance of making it to the NBA.

but predicting a non explosive, non-dead eye shooting 6'2" guy as a 'definite' for the NBA is ludicrous.

Last I saw Bronny was ranked about #25 th in his class. ie/ D1 starter/ borderline NBA prospect.

Looks good now but remember Michael jordan’s Kids?

Would we even be talking about him if he wasn't the son of Lebron James? I don't think so...

Having watched a fair amount of Bronny's games on Ballislife he is a definite mid to high level D1 player, but doesn't have the transcendent talent that indicates an NBA lock. Lamelo was a better prospect at the age, but Lamelo was also a 14 year old starter on the best high school team of all-time, which is a high standard to hold anyone to.

commenting on prospects this young is unhealthy all around. For what it's worth I saw a ranking of him as first in his class but it's very speculative and the best player in the class as an adult is not likely to be even among the top prospects at this point. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are good examples of guys who are great NBA players but weren't identified even as top college prospects.

What is his mom’s athletic background ? If none he won’t make it .

Lol no he is not. He's not even considered the top freshman. He's only 6'2" and not a plus athlete. If he doesn't grow like his father (who was 6'7" or 8" by his sophomore year) he will have zero chance at the NBA. Right now he's only viewed as a descent college prospect. Hell hes not even the best player on his aau team.
