LeBron James had some high praise for his 12-year-old son, LeBron James Jr., on Monday.
Speaking with Cleveland.com, the Cavaliers star said his ball-handling and shooting skills didn't stack up with his son's at that age.
"I didn't handle the ball as well as he does," James said. "He handles the ball exceptionally and he shoots it a lot better than I did at that age, but I've always had the ability to pass the ball. It's good to see him doing it as well."
The younger James is averaging a career-high 8.9 assists per game this season and has been featured in numerous YouTube highlight videos, including this one from the 2017 John Lucas All-Star Weekend:
