The dunk took place over Memorial Day weekend, when James was featuring in a Nike Elite Youth Basketball League game in Memphis. 

James showcased a flash of his athleticism during the EYBL game, offering a glimpse of his potential ahead of his move to Campbell High School in Studio City, Calif.

Bronny played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon before declaring for USC earlier this month. He earned a five-star rating from On3, while ESPN and 247Sports ranked him as a four-star prospect. 

As for Bryce, On3 and ESPN herald LeBron’s younger son as a four-star recruit. The 15-year-old is already taller than his older brother, standing in at 6’6” and nearly 180 pounds.
