As the eldest son of LeBron James, Brownie James's development in recent years has not met the expectations of the outside world, watching his former high school teammate Zaire Williams have officially come to the NBA stage this season, and his father LeBron James on the same stage, another teammate Zaire Wade has also gone to the Jazz Development League to play, but he is still in the same place, and at the beginning of this year, he suffered a meniscus tear, direct season reimbursement, the hope of entering the NBA seems to be more and more slim.
However, after the recent successful return from injury, Brownie's state seems to be gradually getting better, following the recent flat-frame dunk in the game, he scored 19 points and 4 rebounds in a recent game at The Temple Center and James' alma mater, St. Mary's High School, helping the team to beat the opponent 71-53, and this game attracted the attention of Cameron Anthony, Chris Paul, Westbrook, Ci Shiping and of course his father LeBron James. Being able to play at his due level in front of these superstars and not humiliating his old father, Brownie can also prove himself with practical actions.
In recent times, LeBron James has frequently forwarded the highlights of his eldest son Brownie on his social media, and it can be seen that he still hopes that his beloved son can successfully enter the NBA and compete with himself. Earlier, when the Lakers temporarily did not have a game, James took the time to go to the scene to cheer Brownie, and with the help of his old father, Brownie also showed his basketball talent, once staged a one-arm dunk + defensive hat picture, won the old Zhan's great affirmation (frequently nodded at the scene), if Brownie can really usher in redemption this season, the future is not without the opportunity to join the NBA, and James compete in the same field.
Brownie, 17 years old, is studying in the third season of high school, the height has come to 1 meter 88 of him, although in terms of body shape and basketball talent is far inferior to his father, but he is also trying to narrow the gap with his father in the same period, this season he often staged some exciting dunks and amazing goals, obviously ushered in a certain rise in the ball, otherwise it would not have attracted his father directly on social media a good cheer, according to the NBA before the 19-year-old player can sign up for the draft, Brownie still has two years to go before they have a chance to knock on the NBA's doors.
Although it is not known whether Brownie will play in the NCAA like senior Zaire Williams, or start directly from the development league like Zaire Wade, no matter which way he chooses, I believe that the future goal will be the NBA. And his NBA draft, the growth of these two years is extremely important, if you can maintain this momentum, there is a good chance to be selected in the first round, but if you still do not see too much significant progress, he is likely to lose, but given that dad is LeBron James, there should be a lot of NBA teams to sell him face, with a two-way contract, or the basic salary to bring it to the NBA.
In any case, I believe that old Zhan is also very eager to achieve this epic father-son duo with his son to achieve this "unprecedented and unprecedented" epic father-son duo scene, according to James's state of playing for more than two years, is to see if Brownies can compete and be favored by the NBA.
