LeBron’s Son Bronny Joins USC Trojans
LeBron James’ 18-year-old son, Bronny, has announced his commitment to play basketball for the University of Southern California (USC), ending speculation about his future in the sport. The announcement was made on Bronny’s Instagram account on Saturday, where he wrote, “Fight On✌????#committed.”
Bronny, who is a shooting guard, had reportedly considered Ohio State and Oregon before ultimately choosing USC. The decision will allow him to remain close to his family and his father, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The announcement has caused a stir among basketball fans, with many wondering if this means that LeBron James will eventually play with his son in the NBA. In 2022, LeBron named Bronny as being “number one on my fucking list” of people he wants to play in the league with. The prospect of the two playing together has been a topic of discussion among basketball analysts for several years.
Bronny’s commitment to USC comes after a successful high school career at Sierra Canyon, where he played alongside other top prospects like Amari Bailey and Zaire Wade. During his time at Sierra Canyon, Bronny showed flashes of brilliance on the court, displaying a strong shooting touch and an ability to finish around the rim.
The commitment also comes on the heels of several high-profile endorsement deals for Bronny. In 2022, he signed a NIL (name, image, and likeness) partnership with Beats By Dre, which was accompanied by an advertisement featuring the young player and his father. Prior to that, he inked a deal with Nike, a move that further solidified his status as one of the most promising young basketball players in the world.
With his commitment to USC, Bronny will have the opportunity to continue developing his game under the guidance of experienced coaches and top-level competition. It remains to be seen whether he will eventually make the jump to the NBA and play alongside his father, but his commitment to USC is a clear sign that he has the potential to become a star in his own right.
