Billion-dollar fortune heirs Bronny James and Kiyan Anthony will face off on Jan 21st, just like their fathers once did 20 years ago.

The prodigal sons are set to showdown as the High school basketball schedule gets announced. But who are the prodigal sons? Well, kids of NBA players of course. This time, the word prodigal has a deeper meaning.

If your father is LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, the pressure to succeed will be immense. You will be expected to perform at the highest levels.

For Bronny James or LeBron James Jr., as you might know, that is no small feat. Neither is it for Kiyan Anthony, son of Carmelo Anthony. So what do these youngsters do when the world is stacked against them?

They develop skill sets and become the best basketball version of themselves, of course! The competitive genes run through these kids and you can tell they are gunning to be in the NBA.

So, what next? A showdown between the two prodigal sons as reported by Samad Hines. Their respective high schools are set to run into each other during this school year.

Who is better Kiyan Anthony or Bronny James?

Well, that is a reasonably fair question. While there are arguments for both sides of the camp, we need to factor in the fact that Kiyan is a year younger than Bronny.

That being said Bronny looks primed and ready for the collegiate level.

A lot of others will say Kiyan simply has far more potential given the flashy talent he has showcased when working with his father.

One user even says Bronny’s younger brother Bryce won’t even be a match-up for Kiyan.

Whatever the case, we will have to wait and see. Watch this space for more developments in this story.
