History just repeated itself at the McDonald's All American Games. On Monday, Bronny James, the 18-year-old son of NBA star LeBron James, participated in the same JamFest dunk contest that his dad did 20 years ago and left the crowd seriously impressed with his skills. The high schooler hasn't committed to a college yet, but we have a feeling he's about to have way more options after his on-court display.

The contest includes a series of dunk moves
Bronny and the rest of the competitors were tasked with making several amazing dunk shots. Proud papa LeBron watched from the sidelines (and live tweeted his reactions) during the amazing display of athletic prowess by the teens. The annual competition takes place in Houston and is open to high school students.
Bronny got his younger brother involved in the contest
Bronny used 15-year-old Bryce James as a launch pad to help him pull off an absolutely stunning tomahawk slam in the final round of the contest. According to the New York Post, this move netted Bronny 63 points. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough to tip the scales in his favor, and he walked away with second place.
First place went to another legacy baller
Despite his high-flying attempts — and prestigious gene pool — Bronny lost to Sean Stewart, who took home the top prize. Sean is son of retired NBA star Michael Stewart, who used to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. When Sean heads off to college, he'll be showing his skills off for Duke University. Bronny, meanwhile, has yet to announce where he will be strutting his stuff.
LeBron took Bronny's loss in stride
There's no doubt in anyone's mind that LeBron was exceptionally proud of his son during Monday's competition. The 38-year-old dad of three spent a lot of the event tweeting in support of Bronny, even at one point admonishing the judges who failed to give him a high enough score to clinch the trophy. LeBron joked on Twitter that it "should have been 10s across the board."

This isn't the last we'll see of Bronny
We're sure he is destined to have just as big of a career as his famous father. We'll be among the cheering fans waiting to hear where he decides to spend his college years before undoubtedly following in his father's massive footsteps and embarking on an NBA career of his own.
