Bronny James recently demonstrated a flair for soccer, exhibiting his footwork and ball control at the Fanatics Fan Fest. Video circulating from the event showed James maneuvering a soccer ball with ease, performing various kicks and demonstrating his agility.
James, who has spent two seasons in the NBA with the Lakers, is known for his ball-handling and footwork on the basketball court. These skills appeared to translate effectively to the soccer field, as he was observed controlling the ball fluidly and executing skillful moves. The footage also captured him practicing his aim, scoring multiple shots from different angles.
Historically, James has shown an affinity for soccer, calling Brazilian player Neymar his “GOAT” and previously playing the sport in his youth. He was part of a sixth-grade soccer team that secured a league championship. This multi-sport aptitude is not limited to soccer; James has also garnered praise for his golf swing, with some observers noting it favorably compared to his father LeBron James's swing.
While enjoying various athletic pursuits during the offseason, James is also preparing for his third NBA season. This upcoming season will mark his first professional year not playing alongside his father, LeBron James, who is now a free agent. Last season, Bronny James appeared in 42 games for the Lakers, averaging 2.9 points and 1.2 assists per game.
