LeBron James loved seeing his kid Bronny play in the McDonald’s All-American Game in Houston on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old NBA great, who played in the 2003 game, came the entire family for 18-year-old Bronny’s debut.
LeBron, Savannah, Bryce, Zhuri, and Gloria James watched the game at Toyota Center.
Bronny, a Boys’ West player, scored 15 points with five three-pointers and dominated the game. As a courtside spectator, the Los Angeles Lakers legend cheered every time his kid scored.

McDonald’s All-American Game is an annual competition featuring top high school basketball players. Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O’Neal are among its high school graduates.
“The McDonald’s All American Games represent more than one night of basketball,” said Elizabeth Campbell, Senior Director of Cultural Engagement. “It’s a chance for elite players to show out on the national stage and create their own legacy.”
In 1977, the best 24 boys and girls from U.S. high schools were selected for the basketball showcase based on academic and athletic achievement. James was included to the brand’s 35th-anniversary list of finest players in 2012 after helping his side win the annual event in 2003.
LeBron thanked Bronny and the other chosen sportsmen on social media in January.
“Ayyyyyy bronny! Congratulations, Son! Really proud of you!” James wrote. Keep being you no matter what! Your amazing! #JamesGang.”
He added, “Congrats to all the other 2023 Class Micky D’s games me𝚗 and wоmen selected! An honor”
The lineup included two father-son pairs with NBA ties: Andrej Stojaković, son of former NBA great Peja Stojaković, and D.J. Wagner, son of Dejuan Wagner Sr., who played with LeBron on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
