Earlier this week, the four-time NBA champion took to Instagram to share photos of them working out together, causing fans to compare the father-son duo.

A photo of a young, 16-year-old LeBron James was recently compared to Bronny. The photo immediately caused fans to marvel at Bronny's progress over the past few months. At 16, Bronny appears to be much bigger than the Los Angeles Lakers star.

The entire comparison began a day ago when James shared multiple photos of them working out together. Fans reacted on social media, pointing out that Bronny looks as big as James. People joked that James' time in the bubble was too long, as Bronny grew as much as a few birthdays. 

James has always taken to social media to support his children, which includes Bronny and his games for the Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles. This includes Bronny's CIF Southern Section Division Championship in February, which was attended by the entire James family. Considered a basketball prodigy by many, Bronny was No. 24 on ESPN's 2023 Draft Rankings.
