FS1 analyst Skip Bayless keeps aside his hatred for LeBron James as he praises his son, Bronny, after a spectacular showing

Last night was a huge night for basketball fans. In 2002, LeBron James led his high school team against Carmelo Anthony and his Oak Hill High School. Almost twenty years later, their sons, Bronny James and Kiyan Anthony, faced off against each other, playing for their respective high schools.
In 2002, Melo and his team emerged victorious, despite a 36-point effort by LeBron James. However, Bronny got revenge for his dad. Putting up 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals, he led Sierra Canyon to a 62-51 victory.
Skip Bayless praises Bronny for handling pressure well
Bronny James has evolved a lot in the last year. He was always a good basketball player, but as of late, he’s showing us what potential he has. After his showing against Carmelo Anthony’s son last night, he has managed to captivate a lot more attention toward himself.
Skip Bayless talked about him during this morning’s Undisputed. Praising the young King, Skip talked about how well Bronny looked on the court and how impressively he’s been playing. He even went as far as to say that LeBron might have to keep up with Bronny if they want to play together, not the other way around.
That’s huge praise coming from someone who has criticized his father at each and every step.
What does the future hold for LeBron James Jr.?
As of now, everyone assumes that Bronny would play one-year collegiate basketball before enlisting for the NBA Draft and play with his father. Despite being in his senior year, Bronny still hasn’t decided on what school he’d take his talents to.
So far, he has offers from five D1 schools.
As the school year progresses, we may get to hear about more offers, or James Jr might finally make up his mind.
