Tuesday’s McDonald’s All-American Game presented an opportunity for some of the best high school players in the country to impress on a national stage. Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, did so in a huge way.

Bronny has received criticism in the past due to the extremely high expectations that come with being the son of LeBron James. Some felt that he didn’t belong in this game. However, he proved to be right at home against the best talent in his high school class.

James started the game coming off the bench, but quickly made an impression by making a three-pointer that his dad absolutely loved to see sitting courtside.

His shooting ability was something that translated all night. Bronny finished the game with 15 points while shooting 5 of 8 on three-point attempts while also impressing with some solid defense.

While James currently sits outside the top-25 on ESPN’s rankings of the 2023 High School Class, he certainly looked like one of the best players in his class on Tuesday night. Many took to social media to praise him for his solid performance.

It is certainly impressive to see Bronny perform in such a high-level game with extreme pressure on him. LeBron famously took home the McDonald’s All-American Game MVP twenty years ago in a dominant performance. While Bronny James didn’t do that, he did prove that he is a legit prospect who has an extremely bright future at the next level.

James has yet to reveal where he will be playing his collegiate career at. One interesting tidbit is that USC commit and fellow All-American Isaiah Collier revealed on Tuesday night that he has been recruiting Bronny to join him in Southern California.
