LeBron James has long said that he hopes to play with Bronny James in the NBA. Well ‘hope’ is a rather loose term to use here as he confirmed on several occasions that this is one of his goals. Given that Bronny is slated to potentially declare for the NBA Draft in 2024, LeBron should have no problem in getting this done.

However, given just how great of a player ‘The King’ still is, it shouldn’t be surprising if he’s in the league playing at a high level in 2026 as well. The reason for why 2026 is a special year is because that is when his second eldest son, Bryce Maximus James, will become eligible to declare for the NBA Draft.
Both Bryce and Bronny are clearly incredible prospects at the high school level. The latter showed out at the McDonald’s All-American Game this past month and Bryce has been showcasing an inordinate amount of skill for his age.
Bryce Maximus’s height has basketball fans excited
Bryce Maximus James is merely 15 years old and he has already risen to a height of around 6’5-6’6. He’s taller than his elder brother, Bronny James, and given that Bronny is already 18 years old, it doesn’t seem as though he’ll grow any taller than being 6’2.
A recent video of Bryce showcasing his skills has surfaced, with him showing off his handles, taking up pull-ups jumpers, and driving to the basket with authority. Imagining him doing this at a height even taller than what he is now is certainly frightening but also exciting for NBA scouts.

With the way Bryce currently plays, he looks to have a Paul George-esque type of skillset. LeBron James will surely try to move heaven and Earth to try not only play with his eldest son, but also his second son as well.
What is Bronny James NIL worth and final ranking?
Bronny James has the highest NIL (name, image, and likeness) worth of any high school athletes in the country, with him being worth around $7 million. He’s currently in the midst of deciding which college to attend this upcoming season, with USC and Ohio State at the top of the list, according to sources.
ESPN’s final rankings for the Class of 2023 have been released as well, with Bronny ranked as the 19th best senior in the United States. He has hovered around the 30-60 range for most of his high school career and was even ranked 9th by On3 for a bit during his senior season.
