CALABASAS — LeBron James fired out a tweet Monday night claiming his high school senior son, Bronny James of Sierra Canyon, is better than NBA players he was watching on TV.
“Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I’ve been watching on league pass today …” LeBron’s tweet read.

LeBron James didn’t make an appearance to the CIF State Division I SoCal Regional final, but it might’ve prompted the NBA’s all-time leading scorer to tweet about Foster, who led Notre Dame to an 80-61 victory over Sierra Canyon at Calabasas High Tuesday night.

“I get up every morning at 4:45 a.m. and get in the gym before school,” Foster said. “I worked so hard to get that achievement. I didn’t get it, that’s okay, it just motivates me.”
“I came out here tonight and showed why I should be a McDonald’s All-American,” Foster added.
Bronny James – who was selected to play in the prestigious game – scored 10 points.
This man can’t be stopped. Caleb Foster is doing whatever he wants.

“His performance speaks for himself,” Notre Dame coach Matt Sargeant said of Foster.
Foster scored 13 first-half points…
