LeBron James' oldest son, Bronny, is a chip off the old block and already garnering major college interest nationally for his talents as a basketball player. The 12-year-old has offers from Duke and Kentucky already in hand, and has become a YouTube sensation with his highlight reel handles.

His latest viral video is only 18 seconds long, but offers up a perfect glimpse at why he's going to be so highly recruited. In addition to his ability to score and dribble it at a high level for a youngster his age, Bronny can dunk, too. (OK, it's not a 10-foot goal, but you get the point.)

That looks familiar, doesn't it?

It's not fair to project a 12-year-old as the next big thing, but LeBron James Jr. sure has a lot of qualities his dad possesses. And that certainly shouldn't hurt him down the line in his basketball career.
