LeBron James says son 'has a chance to be good,' Wade's son also good

If the YouTube videos aren't enough proof, LeBron James Jr. has a vote of confidence in his abilities as a basketball player from a pretty notable source.

"He's got a chance," father LeBron James said of his son on Tuesday. "If he loves the game, and he works at it, he has a chance to be good. But he's still young, just play for the love of the game, don't worry about nothing else."

The video has currently been viewed almost two million times, which means Thad Matta may have some competition nearly a decade from now when James Jr. could be picking a college basketball program.

James also said that Dwyane Wade's son Zaire Wade, one of the top-ranked youth basketball players in the country, is quite the baller.

"D-Wade's son could go as well," James said.

It's Russell Westbrook, not Wade or James himself, that James sees in his son, captioning an Instagram post of his son as follows:

I see you Bronny! Do work. That 0 look good on you. Looking like "Russelmania" @russwest44. Cook!#JamesGang #StriveForGreatness
