Abstract: We give some sufficient conditions for normal structure in terms of the von Neumann-Jordan constant, the James constant and the weak orthogonality coefficient introduced by B. Sims. In the rest of the paper, the von Neumann-Jordan constant and the James constant for the Bynum space $\ell _{2,\infty}$ are computed, and are used to show that our results are sharp.
