LeBron James' wife shares new photo of their teen son, showing their striking resemblance

The American professional basketball player has three children with his wife, the oldest of whom might be set to follow in his rather large footsteps.

33-year-old Los Angeles Lakers player LeBron James and his wife, 31-year-old Savannah Brinson, are parents to 13-year-old LeBron James Jr., 11-year-old Bryce Maximus James, and 3-year-old Zhuri James.

Recently, Brinson took to her Instagram account to share a photo of her oldest child, and the image shows that the teenager has certainly inherited his father's looks. This seems apt, as it seems he may also be planning to follow in his father's footsteps.

The image, which was snapped at a Bigfoot Hoops Tournament over the last weekend of July, sees the teen drinking a K+ organics drink.

In the shot, LeBron Jr. wore a black t-shirt with the signature Nike tick in the center of his chest with what appeared to be the outline of a bandage drawn around the middle of it.

He was looking off into the distance as he drank his energy drink.

"He knows what’s up!! @kplusorganics #RefuelTheRightWay#ZeroHypeAllGood," Brinson captioned the image.

That image was later shared by K+ Organics as well to advertise their involvement in the tournament.

The youngster has a keen interest in basketball, and his father recently took to his own Instagram account to share a slide of photos of his mini me holding an enormous trophy after winning the USBA National Championship.

LeBron's caption indicated that his younger son also plays the beautiful game, and the third image of the five shows Bryce also wearing the same t-shirt as his big brother, and also has a medal around his neck.

That family image highlights the resemblance between LeBron Sr. and his two sons, with very similar facial features. They also seem to be quite tall for their ages already.

In November 2017, Brinson shared an image of her husband and their eldest son after a Lakers game. The sweaty pro basketball player had a towel around his neck as he cooled down from the game, and had his arm around his son's shoulders.

Both had huge grins stretching across their faces in delight at the game's result.

The image showed that the pair share the same nose and smile, and clearly an interest in the same sport!
