Watch: Bronny James makes an impossible trick shot while hanging out with FaZe Clan
Bronny James has had his every move scrutinized, on and off the court, seemingly since middle school. The eldest of LeBron James' three children is now in his senior year of high school. In what many have called an edited video, Bronny made an impossible trick shot while hanging out with FaZe Clan.
In the video, he shoots the ball over his head while backwards and only using one hand. Bronny is also shooting over a house with no way to possibly see the hoop. However, he still swishes the trick shot. Many have questioned the validity of the video as it appears to have been edited.
While Bronny has not announced the next step of his basketball career, many believe he has narrowed his options down to Ohio State, Oregon and USC. The McDonald's All-American averaged 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game during the regular season of his senior year.

LeBron James claims Bronny James is currently better than some NBA players
Bronny James has started to come into his own as a basketball player as he was recently named to the McDonald's All-American Team, elevated to a five-star recruit on Tuesday and projected as a top 10 pick in the 2024 NBA draft by ESPN's draft analyst Jonathan Givony last month.

While watching NBA League Pass on Monday night, LeBron James shared that, despite Bronny being a high school senior, he believes his son may already be a better player than some players in the league, tweeting:
"Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on league pass today. Shit lightweight hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣"

It is unclear which players LeBron watched before coming to his conclusion. While it is important to note that Bronny is a high school player who just recently became a five-star recruit, there are several players who have shown an ability to compete at the NBA level at the age of 18.
Fortunately for Bronny, however, he does not have to rush the move to the professional level due to financial reasons, as many players are often forced to do. Instead, the high school senior can continue to focus on his development at the collegiate level. Plus, he's projected to be valued more than $7 million in NIL money, according to On3.
