Like father, like daughter.
LeBron James was one of the most unstoppable football players in Ohio high school history that never played the game beyond high school.
His daughter, Zhuri, may have gotten some of that gene.
LeBron's wife Savannah posted a highlight of Zhuri on a flag football recently.
Zhuri, 11, was playing QB, and when she got the ball, she saw an opening and sprinted through the entire defense for a touchdown.

LeBron was an All-Ohio wide receiver as a junior for St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron.
That junior season, he had 57 catches for 1,160 yards and 16 touchdowns.
He was a top-end football recruit, despite the fact that those coaches probably knew as well as anybody else that LeBron's future was the NBA.
"He had the football speed, the acceleration, the ability to make people miss and was a punt-return-type guy," LeBron's quarterback Willie McGee told Sporting News' Bill Bender. "His hands were amazing. The ability to catch the ball, one hand, two hands, adjust to the ball in the air, it was uncanny. He could throw the ball, too. You put him on a reverse, and he can throw it off that. There wasn't anything he couldn't do on a football field."
James was actually offered contracts by both the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks during the 2011 NBA lockout.
Zhuri has a long way to go, and she's also a volleyball player.
But she's certainly got some special genes.
