Just like his dad back in 2003, Bronny James will be taking flight in the McDonald's All-American dunk contest.

Bronny will look to bring a title back to the James family after his dad, LeBron, won the contest 20 years ago.

The McDonald's All-American Game festivities tip off on Monday as select members of this year's McDonald's All-American Game will participate in three challenges: Knock-out, the 3-Point Contest and, of course, the Slam Dunk Contest.

Last year, Indya Nivar and Mark Mitchell took home the Skills Challenge. Ashlon Jackson and Keyonte George knocked down enough shots to win the 3-Point Contest and Ashlyn Watkins brought the crowd to their feet, edging out Dillon Mitchell to become the Slam Dunk Contest champion. 

The likes of Isaiah Collier, DJ Wagner, Bronny James, Juju Watkins and Jada Williams all have the potential to dazzle the Houston crowd this year. There's no doubt the 2023 Powerade Jam Fest will be must-see TV.

Here's all you need to know to tune into the event including the start time and TV channel.
