LeBron James is considered among the top clutch players in the history of NBA and his eldest son Bronny is expected to carry forward the legacy set by his father. Recently, Sierra Canyon's LeBron James Jr. pulled off a game high 17 points against St. Joseph High School to help his team win 71-65 in the high school basketball match.

Over the years, Bronny has improved his game under his father's guidance and became a quality defensive player, who can shoot from the distance. The 18-year-old is currently in his senior year and plays for Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles.

During the game, things got heated between Bronny and a St. Joseph player as James Jr. drilled a couple of three-pointers after the incident. The game became fiery when LeBron's first born smacked the ball into his opponent's chest and exchanged few words. Later, Bronny shouted and flexed at his opponent after scoring from beyond the arc and went on to hit a couple of more threes.

Watch the video:

Bronny along with his teammates Isaiah Elohim (12 points) and Ashton Hardaway (9 points) combined for 38 points to help their team improved to 5-1 in this non-league game. LeBron James celebrated his son's spectacular performance and shared the video from the game on his official Instagram handle.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Lakers faced a 13-point defeat on Wednesday night against Toronto Raptors as star players LeBron James and Anthony Davis were out of action due to injuries.
