Both of LeBron James’ sons, Bronny and Bryce, are playing games in Europe with the California Basketball Club as part of the AXE Euro Tour. And while the California squad dropped its opening game in London, Bronny arrived in Paris ready to put on a show.
He even managed to surprise his dad in the process.
With CBC up by 12 in the second quarter against the U18 French Select squad, Bronny — the No. 49-ranked player in the class of 2023, according to 247Sports — went coast-to-coast for a one-handed dunk over a defender. It brought the entire arena to its feet — and for good reason. What a dunk.

But the best part had to be the Proud Dad Moment from LeBron. He immediately took to Twitter with his live reaction to the poster slam from Bronny.
OH MY GOODNESS BRONNY!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Oh my goodness is right. Bronny would score a game-high 25 points.
Bronny will be a senior this upcoming season at Sierra Canyon (Calif.). After some initial skepticism that Bronny would pursue the college route, coaches have started reaching out to the 17-year-old. USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Rutgers (despite being an Adidas school) and Memphis have started to heat up their recruitment of Bronny.
That dunk should grab their attention.
