Bronny James makes first cover of Sports Illustrated with FaZe Clan
Bronny James, LeBron James’ son, has made his first appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.
James will feature on the cover of the July issue, appearing alongside members of the popular e-sports team, FaZe Clan.
James joined FaZe Clan in August, making him the first basketball player still in high school to join the roster. Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is also a member of the team.
The cover sees James and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray playing a video game holding a PlayStation controller, while FaZe members Swagg, Rug, Temperrr and NICKMERCS watch with various facial expressions.
Here’s a look at Bronny’s full cover alongside LeBron’s first appearance in 2002:

Bronny has dedicated plenty of time to the world of e-sports prior to joining FaZe, and his interest continues to mount.
LeBron is aware of Bronny’s commitment to gaming, and FaZe Banks, a founder of FaZe, shared an encounter he had with LeBron, via Rohan Nadkarni of Sports Illustrated:
“And if there was any question as to whether LeBron is aware how much time his son invests in video games, Banks says he “dapped up” the worldwide megastar when he bumped into him on a night out in L.A. earlier this year.”
Bronny’s first cover comes as an e-sports athlete, but he has more coming beyond the gaming world as he grows up.
LeBron reacted to the cover on his Instagram:
