Bronny James up to nearly 1 million Instagram followers after joining

LeBron James and his wife Savannah weren’t exactly thrilled about letting their eldest son LeBron James Jr. on Instagram, but his following has predictably ballooned overnight.

In just over 24 hours since LeBron welcomed his son on the platform, LeBron Jr. nearly 1 million followers at 946,000. His Dad, by contrast, has 48 million followers on Instagram.
