Houston Texans edge rusher Will Anderson has been dealing with the Bronny James comparisons for a while now, and he finally had a chance to address the joke that even reached LeBron James himself.
The resemblance between Anderson and Bronny has been a running topic online, especially as Anderson has grown out his beard and made the look even closer. The internet has been quick to point out how similar the two appear, and LeBron added to the fun during the NBA season after a game against the Houston Rockets that Anderson attended.
“That’s my fourth child," James joked back in May. "Him and Bronny are twins and nobody knows it. Me and Savannah been trying to keep it under wraps for a long time.”
Anderson took the comment in stride when he spoke with Sports Illustrated. For him, the source of the joke made all the difference.
"Usually I would feel offended if another grown man called me his son," Anderson said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. "But I was like, it's LeBron James!
So that's goated. I'm cool with that.
I don't mind being LeBron James' son."
SI also asked Anderson where he thinks James should go next, with LeBron’s future still a major talking point after eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. Anderson offered a surprising answer: he thinks James should play for the San Antonio Spurs.
That idea might not sit well with some Texans fans who also pull for the Houston Rockets, especially with San Antonio being an in-state rival and fresh off an NBA Finals run. Still, Anderson’s take was clear.
Whether LeBron ends up in San Antonio, stays in California, or heads East, that part remains unsettled. For now, though, Anderson has made his stance on the Bronny comparison pretty simple: he’s fine with it.

Texans Add Another Tough Trench Piece In Febechi Nwaiwu
The Texans have locked in another piece for the trenches, signing 2026 fourth-round pick Febechi Nwaiwu to a four-year rookie contract. Nwaiwu arrives with the kind of versatility teams love up front, having moved around the offensive line in college and giving Houston another option as it keeps building depth on the interior.
His path to this point also fits the profile of a player who had to earn everything along the way, starting as an unranked high school prospect before becoming a walk-on at North Texas and later blossoming into an All-American at Oklahoma. For Houston, the appeal is obvious: a tough, flexible lineman who can help stabilize a position group where reliable depth is always at a premium. [Read more 🡒]
One Texans Rookie Could Change This Position Battle Fast
With training camp about to open, the Texans are bringing in their rookie class on July 21 before veterans follow a week later, and one name to watch is Marlin Klein. The No. 59 overall pick has the kind of size and physical profile that can stand out quickly, especially in a room where Houston is expected to lean more on tight ends in Nick Caleys offense this season.
Dalton Schultz is the only sure thing at the position, which leaves the rest of the depth chart very much up for grabs once camp begins. Klein does not need to win the job overnight, but if he starts stacking productive practices early, he could force the Texans to rethink how fast this battle settles and how much of a role he can carve out behind Schultz.
