Bronny James has been told he could earn money and play basketball against ‘grown men’ if he decides to play in Australia’s National Basketball League rather than going to college.
Bronny is in his senior season of high school basketball at Sierra Canyon, and he has been widely expected to go to college before entering the NBA. His father, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, is a vocal supporter of Bronny and has publicly declared he wants to extend his career in order to play with the 18-year-old in the league.
If he goes to college, Bronny has reportedly narrowed down his decision to three schools: Ohio State, USC and Oregon. However, LaVar Ball - the father of Chicago Bull guard Lonzo and Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo - believes Bronny should forget about his education and go to Australia to play in the NBL.
