“Proud!!! .” Congratulations and love you, kid! @bronny ,” LeBron gushed alongside a series of photographs of the 18-year-old sporting his navy blue graduation suit with a beaming smile.

James’ mother expressed similar feelings, posting a candid snapshot of the graduate walking off stage with his diploma and a nice message.
“Congratulations, grandson!!! “You’ve always made me very proud of you,” she explained. “Seeing you graduate tonight made me feel even more proud. I wish you the greatest happiness and success in the next stage of your young adult life. Continue spreading your wings and soar to new heights . I love you very much. “Grammy .”

In an interview with Spectrum SportsNet, LeBron revealed his son’s great news by leaving a comment on the article and stating that it was “one of the best days of my life”.
First and foremost, I congratulate Bronny on his decision. “I’m extremely proud of him, as is our entire family,” he stated. “For me, it’s even more special because it’s the first time someone from my family has attended college. Obviously, I didn’t attend college.

In August, the Los Angeles Lakers player agreed to a $97.1 million deal extension that will keep him with the organization until 2024. The timing would be ideal, allowing the superstar to become a free agent when his basketball player son is eligible for his first NBA season.
“Wherever Bronny is, that’s where I’ll be,” LeBron stated in an interview in February of last year. “I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year.”
