LeBron James promises to watch Bronny’s debut at USC.

LeBron James recently made it clear that his family comes before his basketball career by saying he would be prepared to miss a Lakers game in order to see his kid play for the USC Tigers. This follows a significant blow to his son’s basketball career when he suffered a heart arrest in the summer. 

James is thrilled to be a father and see his kid reach this significant milestone as he gets cleared to return to court. During their journey to Oklahoma City, he told his colleagues that if a Lakers game fell on the same day as his son’s game, he would miss it out of loyalty to his family. As he put it, “Family above everything.”

James claims he will forego the Lakers game in favor of Bronny’s first USC game, Silver Screen and Roll.

Because of his cardiac arrest, Bronny has been unable to participate in the NCAA season with other players. But as Vince Iwuchukwu showed last season, the Tigers have experience dealing with rostered athletes recovering from such an ailment. LeBron’s desire to see his kid play in the NCAA is understandable, especially in light of Bronny’s summertime health crisis. It’s crucial to keep in mind that LeBron shouldn’t be condemned for skipping a game in order to support his son, and Bronny’s rehabilitation should be honored.

Returning to the court, Bronny James is aiming to impress scouts in order to guarantee his draft slot in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft. If he were allowed to enter the NBA, LeBron James would be able to fulfill his ambition of playing with his kid. LeBron has a player option with the Lakers and is currently a free agent, but he might decide to stay if the team is well-positioned to contend next season. But this whole problem might be avoided if Bronny is selected by the Lakers. Bronny is still regarded as an NBA-caliber prospect despite his stock plummeting following a cardiac attack, and a team looking to entice LeBron away from the Lakers might select him in the draft. The USC Tigers could become favorites for the NCAA Tournament if Bronny lives up to his hype as a five-star prospect. Bronny’s comeback should help the squad remain in the top 25 rankings.
