On March 31, Beijing time, NBA celebrity WenHorst talked about the future of basketball for James' son in the latest episode of the program. He pointed out that because of James' influence, the eldest son Brownie can get a chance as long as he wants to enter the NBA. Wenhorst also said insiders believe James' youngest son, Bryce, has a higher basketball cap than Brownie.
The eldest son, Brownie, is 17 years old and can enter the draft as soon as 2024. US media predicted that Brownie's latest pick was 26th in the first round. "He (Brownie) is pretty good, I don't know if he's going to go to college to play," Wenhorst said, "and if he chooses to go to college, he should have a good choice." But whether he can become a star at that university is unknown. "For young people today, playing college basketball is one option, going to play the G League (development league game) is another option. For example, Jaylen Green, the rocket leader, chose to play in the G League before entering the NBA, rather than the college league.
"Brownie is in good physical condition, even in some places better than James at the same time," Vinhorst said. For example, in terms of bench press weight, brownies are stronger than James of the same age. Because he had good training conditions since he was a child, James hired a personal trainer for him. However, his physical condition is not as good as James, James was 2 meters 01-2 meters 03 when he was 17 years old, and his weight reached 240 pounds, he is one of the few young people who entered the NBA at the age of 18 and did not suffer physical conditions. I remember that the only player who was more intimidated in James' rookie season was Ron Artest. ”
Brownie is now a four-star high school student and is likely to be chased by basketball schools like Kentucky, North Carolina and UCLA. "How many four-star high school students can get into the NBA?" I don't know the specific proportions, but I know it's not particularly high," Vinhorst said. Even if Brownie didn't excel in college, Vinhorst believed James' influence was enough to get his son into the NBA. "Obviously, as long as he wants to play in the NBA, he can get a chance from the NBA, and his last name (James) will help him get there."
Brownie, 17, is only 1.91 meters tall, which is a major disadvantage for him. In contrast, Bryce, who was more than two years younger than him, was much better physically, and now he was even taller than his brother Brownie. In the future, he may grow taller, and in terms of physical condition, the younger son is closer to his father James. Not long ago, the video of Bryce's windmill dunk went viral online, and don't forget that he turned 15 by June this year. "I haven't seen Bryce play, but insiders have told me bryce is probably better than Brownie," Vinhorst said. ”
James, who is 37 years old, has said that his biggest wish is to share the stage with Brownie's father and son in the NBA, and plans to play with Brownie in the final year of his career, which also boosts Brownie's draft prospects. Just from james's age, it should be difficult for him to wait for his younger son Bryce to enter the NBA to achieve another version of father-son sharing.
