College basketball recruiters are already trying to secure LeBron James Jr., and his MVP father isn't happy about it.

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James said Tuesday that his 10-year-old son, nicknamed Bronny, is drawing attention he shouldn't be.

"Yeah, he's already got some offers from colleges," James said Tuesday, according to Mike Sullivan of CBS Detroit. "It's pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn't be recruiting 10-year-old kids."

Bronny James has already flashed plenty of skill for his age, enough to put himself on Ohio State head coach Thad Matta's radar. LeBron James said he sees a bit of himself in his son, although he added he doesn't want to rush him.

"He plays just like I did," James said. "He has great awareness, and he'd rather pass first and set guys up. Most kids nowadays just want to score."

Sure, but most kids don't have a future Hall of Famer for a father.
