As a 10-year-old prodigy, LeBron James Jr went viral for a freakish highlights mixtape competing in primary school hoops.
As a 13-year-old, he's still freakish — and he's still going viral, news.com.au reports.
The son of Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is again a big talking in the United States after his exploits playing in the John Lucas All-Star Weekend in Houston were captured on film.
His highlights reel playing for North Coast Blue Chips at the annual junior basketball showpiece had Houston Rockets star Chris Paul in awe on the first day of the event.
The Dream Team star, who is also LeBron Jr's godfather, watched on as the teenage freak affectionately known as "Bronny" put on a passing exhibition.
No-look passes, three-point bombs, not-so-friendly shot-blocks, full-court assists and devastating drives through traffic were all on show as the seventh-grader ran riot.
On day two of the event, former Cavaliers' guard Mo Williams was also in attendance — and was also powerless to stop the teenage talent.
The team Williams was coaching, Drive Nation, went down 64-62 to James' Blue Chips, who also went on to win the tournament.
It comes just a few weeks after LeBron Jr's middle school team in Akron, Ohio, also won their Amateur Athletic Union league.
The highlights of LeBron Jr's display for his Old Trail School team are every bit as impressive.
It's no surprise Colleges have been trying to recruit LeBron Jr and younger brother Bryce, 10, for more than three years.
LeBron Jr is unable to join the NBA until the 2024 NBA Draft.
However, the four-time NBA MVP-winner has already publicly discussed the prospect of trying to play on until the 2024-25 season for the chance to play with his eldest son. He would be at least 40-year-old.
"I know I won't be able to play at this level forever," James told CBS Sports in October.
"But to be washed and play … I don't know if I can play washed ... but I damn sure would love to stick around if my oldest son can have an opportunity to play against me. That'd be, that'd be the icing on the cake right there."
The former Miami Heat star has previously said he wants his kids to carve their own identity — and they are certainly doing that.
James Jr reportedly favours the No. 30 on his singlets — taking after Warriors superstar Steph Curry — while Bryce Maximus has been spotted favouring singlets with Russell Westbrook's No. 0 on them.
"He doesn't want people to know who he is," LeBron told Sports Illustrated of his eldest kid in 2015.
