"LeBron created his own 3 and D teammate"- NBA fans going off after Bronny James balls out at the McDonald's All-American gameΒ 

Bronny James went off in the McDonald's All-American Game on Tuesday in the presence of his father, LeBron James and the rest of the James family. Bronny dropped 15 points, shooting five threes on eight attempts from deep for the West team in their 109-106 loss.

Bronny's inclusion in the All-American game was debated by some as they believed he made it because of LeBron. However, he squashed any possible criticism by delivering on the big stage. His impressive play on both ends of the floor had everyone talking about his college and NBA prospects.

Bronny has continued to improve over the last season, showing that he has a nice feel for the game and is an elite 3-and-D specialist. He led West to a nine-point lead at the half before the East team pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback behind Kentucky commit DJ Wagner's efforts to win the contest by a three-point margin.

Fans online celebrated Bronny James for his phenomenal outing. One fan indirectly complimented Bronny's 3-and-D potential, writing:

"LeBron created his own 3 and D teammate lmfaooooo"

Bronny James' NBA prospects continue to grow as LeBron James awaits his son's entry into the league

LeBron James hasn't shied away from admitting he wants to team up with his son Bronny James in the NBA. That plummeted Bronny's stock significantly. He was projected to be a late first-round or early second-round pick during his early years in high school.

However, Bronny isn't solely dependent on the greatness of his father. The Sierra Canyon High School star has impressed with his performances and recently even made the top 10 of ESPN's first 2024 NBA Draft projection.

Bronny has drawn comparisons to Jrue Holiday due to his defensive capabilities. He also has a smooth jump shot from deep, on display at the 2023 McDonald's All-American Game.

15 points (5/8 3P) for projected top-10 pick Bronny James showing why he's so highly regarded by some with an outstanding McDonald's All-American game showing. Also played strong defense and showed off his advanced feel for the game. https://t.co/clsCGAyngd

The 15-point outing on five triples while playing excellent defense has the four-star recruit's league prospects rocketing. Bronny fits the bill for today's wing-dominated league with his skillset. He also has a good feel for the game.

If the 6'3" guard continues to work on his passing and shows more aggressiveness on offense, Bronny will be a coveted prospect a year later when he becomes eligible for the draft.

It will be interesting to see how he performs at the college level in the upcoming season. Bronny James hasn't committed to college but has offers from multiple programs like Memphis, Ohio State and Southern California. Meanwhile, he's expressed interest in Oregon.
