NBA fans were truly amused to see a viral video of a fake Bronny James wearing a USC jersey. There can’t be too many basketball fans who are unaware of who Bronny is. LeBron James jr, as he is officially named, is the eldest son of 4x NBA champion LeBron James.
He attended high school at Sierra Canyon alongside his brother Bryce. Due to the popularity and recognition that his name generates, Broony soon drew the attention of the NBA media. Especially after he developed his game and transformed into an explosive athlete.
Since LeBron claimed that playing with his son in the NBA would be his ultimate goal, there have been a lot of eyes on Bronny, scrutinizing him and calculating whether he will be able to make it to the NBA. In the midst of all of this attention, some have even taken opportunities to spin a humorous narrative. Let us take a better look at the ongoing situation.
NBA fans call out the Bronny James lookalike
It is becoming somewhat of a trend nowadays to find people looking similar to celebrities and then make them go viral on social media. We have already seen it happen to multiple stars across the league and fans always end up getting a good laugh out of these posts.
Although Bronny James is yet to join the league and gain true fame, being the son of LeBron James ensured that most people in the world of basketball already know what he looks like. Therefore, fans were quick to spot the similarities between him and a lookalike version of him after a video went viral.

As we can tell from the video, a bearded and slightly older version of Bronny James was soon playing basketball and repping a USC jersey. This speaks to the fact that the pranksters put thought and effort into making him appear identical to Bronny himself.
Looks nothing like him

However, fans were conflicted on whether this was truly a good impersonation, “Looks nothing like him.” Perhaps they feel this way since the fake Bronny was significantly shorter and even had a fully-grown beard. Nonetheless, others assured themselves that this was quite a good imitation.

Bronny should probably get used to antics of this nature moving forwards. After all, he will always be popular regardless of a successful career in the NBA.
