The California Basketball Club’s roster features four players whose fathers are NBA legends.

Bronny James and his younger brother, Bryce, are the sons of LeBron James. Ashton Hardaway, Bronny’s teammate at Sierra Canyon (California) High School, is the son of Memphis coach and four-time NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway. And Justin Pippen, another Sierra Canyon player, is the son of Naismith Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen (as well as the brother of Lakers rookie Scotty Jr.).

The team is heading to Europe for three games over a 12-day span, facing teams from London, Paris and Rome.

What we learned in London

James brothers

Bronny and Bryce played together for the first time. Bronny had a solid floor game with 11 points, six rebounds and three assists, as that is one of his major strengths. He went 4-for-4 from inside the arc and rim, but was 0-for-6 from distance.
