‘Bearded’ Bronny James Hilariously Gets Compared to a Photo of 18-Year-Old LeBron James: “Don’t Mess With the Royal Bloodline”

Bronny James is well on his way to becoming an NBA player. LeBron James’s son is already a projected lottery pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. With Bronny’s popularity growing amongst the NBA community, the 18-year-old has become a bit of a hot topic among fans. In fact, fans have even started to imagine what he will look like in 20 years’ time. People are now photoshopping him to look like a bearded man and even comparing him with an 18-year-old LeBron James. And admittedly, the results are far funnier than expected.

Bronny James also famously committed to USC, something that is not only very much close to home and to the Crypto.com Arena. He is expected to make great strides in expanding his offensive versatility while also further strengthening his already elite defense. In terms of appearance, the man sure doesn’t have any more than a little goatee and a mustache. But then again, as fans see it, that is exactly the reason why Photoshop exists.

LeBron James and Bronny James get compared by NBA Twitter for hilarious results

Bronny James stands at 6’3” at the moment. Sure, that isn’t as much as how tall LeBron James was at 18. It isn’t even as tall as his 6’6” younger brother Bryce James. However, he will likely continue to grow, given that he is still only 18.

That said, it isn’t their game or physical advantages at the game of basketball we’re here to discuss. No, it is the contents of this tweet by ‘Suspect Sports’, something you can check out below.

As discussed before, Bronny doesn’t look like that just yet. Here is a tweet showing off how he looks now.

These pictures were taken right before his senior prom, perhaps a touchy subject for the young man for now. After all, he was cruelly trolled for his date to the prom. We hope it didn’t affect him too much and he was able to keep going with his life without much trouble.

Focusing on the positives a bit more here, though, there does seem to be one area where Bronny James may have his actually bearded father beat. And it may just be one of his most important characteristics ahead of his NBA career.

Bronny may be just the slightest bit more muscular than LeBron was

LeBron James may look like a hulking freak of a man now. But when he first came into the league, he was pretty skinny. You can take a look at how he looked back then in the YouTube video by the NBA below.

Compared to him, Bronny James seems to have packed on perhaps just a little more muscle. Take a look at the picture in the tweet below to see what his overall physique looks like.

Of course, a big part of the same could be that Bronny has LeBron to guide him about how to take proper care of his body. Unlike Bron at 18, Bronny at 18 has Millions of dollars at his disposal and has been using those to take excellent care of his body.
