Bronny does a similar chase-down block as LeBron James
LeBron James is known to be a great defender. He's turned things around with his defense and usually puts in extra effort when the game is on the line. James isn't shy about showing his athleticism when blocking shots, which makes his chase-down blocks entertaining to watch.
His son, Bronny, seems to have inherited his defensive instincts as he did a pretty similar chase-down block in his debut. The 6-foot-3 guard sprinted his way back on defense to prevent the 49ers from scoring a fastbreak bucket. He took off on two feet and blocked the layup attempt, looking like his dad.
There could be more in store for the fans as this is only Bronny's first game this season. He could show more of his defensive tenacity in the future games to come.
Bronny came off the bench for the Trojans to start his college career. Their next game will be against Auburn on Dec. 18.
