"Bron did this same dunk contest lol"- Fans call out a deja vu moment as Bronny James mimics his father LeBron James at the McDonald's All-American
Bronny James recently participated in his first McDonald's All-American dunk contest. Back in 2003, Bronny's dad LeBron James also participated in the same dunk contest. LeBron won that year's dunk contest and finished the competition with a reverse jam coming from a bounce off the floor. Fast forward 20 years later, and Bronny performed a similar dunk, but this time for his opening slam.
Bronny James pulled off an insane reverse windmill dunk to start the contest. The audience in the building was going nuts. Fans on social media are also expressing their love for Bronny and even felt nostalgic witnessing his opening dunk.
