It seems as though Bronny is turning out to be an outstanding talent among his peers and probably a future star.

Nevertheless, one must appreciate the wave that Bronny has created, especially because his style of play brings the team together – an unselfish star.

Similarities of Gameplay – Bronny and LeBron

LeBron has always been known to bring a team together. His IQ and leadership seem to stand out from the rest. This is especially visible in his passing. This season, LeBron’s assists have generated 586 points for the Lakers. When combined with the number of points that LeBron himself has scored, it covers 30.5% of the entire points scored by the Lakers. Bronny replicates this unselfish play as he always looks for teammates in better positions for better shots.

Clearly, Bronny is playing very much like his dad. With a high ceiling, only time will tell what Bronny will turn into be. With the support of his fans and his father, nothing seems impossible.
