Bronny James officially arrived on the high school basketball scene in 2019 and he won’t be leaving the national spotlight anytime soon. As a freshmen, LeBron’s son has successfully cracked the varsity rotation for a Sierra Canyon group that is loaded with blue chip prospects and considered one of the top teams in America. He’s also displayed a wet jumper, tight handle and solid effort defensively while consistently playing the game the right way.
But in addition to all that, we are now winding down the year that Bronny first started finishing above the rim. In 2018, as an eighth grader, James Jr. wasn’t quite able to dunk just yet. This year, however, he’s thrown down windmills and anything else you can imagine. His first dunk during a high school game occurred on October 20 and he’s deposited several high-flying finishes since.
Below are the best dunks from Bronny in 2019 courtesy of the crew from Ball Is Life.
Bronny’s Sierra Canyon squad is scheduled to meet LeBron’s alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary, tonight in Columbus, Ohio. The showdown between the two high school basketball powers is one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the season. While Sierra Canyon is ranked as high as No. 2 nationally by a number of outlets, both teams are projected to be contenders for their respective state championships.
Even though he’s only a ninth grader, all eyes–or at least the majority of eyes–will be locked on Bronny this evening in Ohio just as they have been ever since he first set foot on a basketball court. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN3. The game was originally going to be played in Akron on St. Vincent-St. Mary’s home floor. In order to meet ticket demand, though, it was moved two hours away to 19,000-seat Nationwide Arena.
