Bronny James has cemented himself as a top recruit for the class of 2023. He’s made the McDonald’s All-American roster for this year and is looking to get recruited by some of the best basketball programs across the nation.

Along with excelling on the hardwood, Bronny has also heavily dabbled in the endorsement game. Taking after his father, he’s set on building a brand for himself off of his name, likeness, and image.

It’s only a matter of time before Bronny becomes a household name, if he isn’t already. He has everything from the talent to the history to a set foundation where he can build his brand off of.
