Bronny James dunks on his 6-foot-5 brother Bryce in the McDonald’s All-American Dunk Contest 20 years after dad LeBron won the skills competition
Bronny James jumped over his brother Bryce in the McDonald’s All-American Dunk contest, 20 years after his father, LeBron, won the event.
The children of the Los Angeles Lakers star took to the floor for the highly regarded skills competition on Monday night.
It was NBA prospect and Sierra Canyon star Bronny, 18, who was vying for supremacy and called out his 15-year-old brother in the championship round.
The six foot three Bronny dove over his six foot five brother after a few tries, earning him a score of 63/70 from the judges.
The teenager lost in the final to Duke forward Sean Stewart, but the King was more than impressed.

He posted on his Instagram profile: ‘That’s CRAZY! Wow. McDonalds Slam Dunk Competition’, along with an image from a camera shot of Bronny landing the dunk.
LeBron did not attend the Delmar Athletic Complex in Houston, Texas, but his wife Savannah did.
She was seen supporting her son and holding up his ’10’ card for his dunks.
Bronny scored 65/70 in his first round and then 57/70 before advancing to the final.
The guard, who was officially named a five-star college recruit, played his last high school basketball game earlier this month.
Bronny has yet to announce where he will play his basketball after graduating high school, but Ohio State is the favorite to sign him for the 2023 college basketball season.
While he still has two years to go before he can make his NBA debut, there’s a good chance Bronny could suit up as his dad to a league game, as LeBron has spoken multiple times about wanting to team with his son. .
Before that, Bronny will be on the court at the McDonald’s All-American game tonight.
