‘Nah, Bronny is Momma’s Twin!’: LeBron James’ Photo of Sons Bronny and Bryce Leaves Fans Undecided on Which Parent the Teens Most Resemble

LeBron James is putting his proud dad moments on full display for fans to see. Like most families around this time of year, LeBron and his crew are getting back into the swing of managing school and extracurricular activities with his and Savannah James’ two sons, Bronny and Bryce, and daughter Zhuri.

The Los Angeles Lakers star shared photos of the young men as they prepared to head back to campus for the first day of school on Aug. 29. While standing at an entryway of their home, Bryce and Bronny put on a smile for a few photos that showed them both dressed in casual athletic sweats like the student-athletes they are. Both young men have begun, respectively, to build a name of their own on the basketball court. However, that has not stopped the comparisons to their NBA Championship-winning dad.

In a third photo, they are seen sitting in a parked car, with Bronny behind the wheel. LeBron captioned the post, “Back to school chronicles!! Bronny senior year and Bryce sophomore year begins! Have a great one Young King’s! Love y’all beyond words can express! Keep putting on and riding for each other. #JamesGang.”

Fans commented on everything from the teens’ first day of school outfits to the leather seats in Bronny’s car to which partner each of the students most resembles. “Bryce looks more like LeBron than LeBron looks like LeBron,” read one comment. Another said, “Nah, Bronny is momma’s twin!!” provoking a person to remark, “And the little baby Zuri… they all have the same face.”

Others were simply taken aback at how much Bryce has grown. “Bryce became a giant over night,” and “Bro, Bryce is huge,” read two comments. “The little brother bigger than the big brother,” commented another person. And a fourth wrote, “These brothers gonna b hooping in the league soon.” Both teens joined LeBron for his latest Sports Illustrated cover “The Chosen Sons.” 

While Zhuri’s first day of school photo was not posted, neither her dad nor mom has neglected to share the rising star in recent weeks. At eight years old, the James clan’s princess has already shown that not only is she adorable, but she also has a knack for fashion. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
