LeBron James's nine-year-old son has gone viral after his exploits in a fourth-grade tournament were captured on video, breaking one million views in little over 24 hours.

With James senior turning 30 next week, his fittingly named son, LeBron James junior certainly looks to be following in his father’s footsteps.

Shooting, passing and dribbling all at a standard far beyond his years the youngster’s performance in the tournament in Houston led to his father tweeting out the video.

Apparently he’s been putting in performances like this since he was four. Clearly pressure and expectation has little effect on the James Jnr .
