LeBron James’ sons LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus are freaks

THEY shoot like him. They pass like him. They even share the same quirky pumped-up habits. LeBron James’ sons are going to be serious ballers.

TALENT is hereditary.

It’s been almost one year since the first highlight video of James’ eldest son LeBron Jr. first went viral.

That YouTube clip, with almost two million views, prompted fans to declare NBA teams should already be working out the best way to tank and recruit the 11-year-old if he eventually nominates for the NBA Draft.

It’s not a case of if, but when.

And those tanking strategies now need to be adjusted. Now there are two of them.

A new highlights video featuring LeBron Jr. and his eight-year-old brother Bryce Maximus James playing in the Ohio Showcase basketball tournament shows the two siblings share more than talent and a craving for buckets with their four-time NBA MVP father.

With big daddy LeBron cheering on in the stands, LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus are filmed cutting opposition teams to shreds while playing for North Coast Blue Chip team.

LeBron Jr. won the third grade championship with his team and Bryce Maximus also won his competition in fifth grade.

The resemblance is uncanny. The skills are near-identical.

Both offspring shoot and pass like their old man, but it gets scary when they even get pumped up in the same way.

The video shows LeBron Jr earning a turnover on defence and then unleashing his emotion with a scream, his fists clenched and his head nodding up and down in agreement — just as his old man loves to do.

Bryce also showed he knows how to imitate his dad...

LeBron said recently his kids don’t want to be exactly like him and don’t like it when people identify them as the kids of one of the best basketballers of all time.

“He doesn’t want people to know who he is,” LeBron told Sports Illustrated of his eldest kid.

“He hates when they ask him for pictures and autographs. He won’t even wear my number.”

In the video, Bryce dons a No. 30 singlet — the same as Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, while LeBron Jr. wears singlet No. 0.

They might not wear his famous Cleveland Cavaliers No. 23 or his former Miami Heat No. 6, but unfortunately they still stand out.

They’ve already begun receiving scholarship offers from colleges trying to recruit the future stars.

“Yeah, he’s already got some offers from colleges,” LeBron said of LeBron Jr last year.

“It’s pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn’t be recruiting 10-year-old kids.”

Those offers started flying in when the video below first went viral. They’re not about to stop flooding in either after the latest highlights reel.
