So we wanted to drop a blurb on Bronny James. Like his All-Star father, young Bronny is a #1 FEAR, which actually is a rarity when it comes to father/son sports duos. One can think of Dale Earnhardt (#6 BEIR) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (#2 BEAR), or Archie Manning (#13 FCIR) and sons Peyton (#5 FEIR) and Eli (#2 BEAR). Then there’s Cecil Fielder (#9 FCAR) and Prince Fielder (#1 FEAR), or Doc Rivers (#6 BEIR) and son Austin (#13 FCIR), as well as a number of others.
As can be seen, a parent passing on the exact same Brain Type is far from a guarantee, as mother’s genes also come into play, as well as grandparents, etc. While it is more common to see, for instance , #13 FCIRs beget #13 FCIRs (stronger genes for a variety of reasons), even then differing Brain Types will often show up, especially the more children one has. This author is a 3rd generation #10 BCAR, being the youngest of three, while my youngest is a 4th generation #10 BCAR, the youngest of 4.
At any rate, Jon Niednagel Brain Typed young Bronny back when he was only 5-years old when he saw him shooting a ball on a basketball court in Akron, Ohio. Bronny’s big-muscle motor movements and father-like facial features were a dead give-away. Since that time, young James has grown and developed (though not to the same degree as his father in terms of height). Bronny is about 6’1″, which in the NBA is rather shorter, to be sure. Needless to say, Bronny has been raised, differently, coached differently, etc., and is not the same “machine” as his father. Still, he has plenty of #1 talent, despite folks wondering if he will amount to anything. In short, with continued proper training (especially mentally), Bronny has the potential to be a successful player in the NBA. Mental toughness, as well as court smarts (decision-making), will be his greatest challenges to overcome.
