It’s no secret LeBron James will al ays be in the conversation for the greatest basketball player to ever step on an NBA court. While that may be the case, the Los Angeles Lakers star admitted he gets anxious watching Bronny play for the USC Trojans.

Before he entered the NBA as the Cleveland Cavaliers’ number one pick in the 2003 Draft, James spent four years playing for St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. During that period, the Lakers’ All-Star forward posted averages of 25.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 5.0 assists.

After a high school stint that caught the attention of scouts, James entered the league and dominated since he arrived more than two decades ago. In the span of his 21-year and counting run as a professional, the King po ted averages of 27.1 points on 50 percent shooting from the field, 34 percent from beyond the arc, and 73 percent from the free throw line. He’s also making 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.5 steals on a nightly basis.
