LeBron James caused a stir in the globe in 2002 when he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The magazine included the big words “Chosen One” printed across the cover, and it asserted that the then-high school junior LeBron would be a sure thing to be drafted into the National Basketball Association the following year.
That cover raised the expectations of one of the most anticipated prospects to enter the NBA Draft, and everyone was waiting to see how LeBron James could possible live up to the great buzz that he was bringing with him to the draft. A great number of people were turned off by that cover before LeBron James had even participated in an NBA game. There is no doubt that LeBron James has demonstrated why he was selected as the Chosen One. He has amassed an extraordinary career, which may be underscored by the fact that he has become the all-time leading scorer in the league during this season.
His sons, Bronny and Bryce James are featured on Sports Illustrated’s latest cover that does a deep dive into the James family, even discussing the possibility of LeBron not only playing with Bronny but also his younger son Bryce.
The topic of whether or not LeBron James, who is 43 years old, will be able to continue competing at the top of the basketball globe until his younger son is drafted is another matter. However, even if he is able to do so, would he want to? That is five more years of miles that he needs to put on his body, which has already spent more time being an NBA player than he has spent being alive.
Despite the fact that their father did not have the same possibilities, the James children are making the most of the opportunities they have. Both of Bronny’s kids are excellent basketball players, and Bronny is a significant influencer in his own right. Despite the fact that they do not possess the same level of generational skill as their father, they have the potential to break into the NBA with the correct supervision and concentration.
