Bronny James honours dad LeBron as he decides USC jersey number

Eighteen-year-old Bronny James will wear the same number as his father, LeBron, after selecting No. 6 for the University of Southern California (USC).

LeBron currently wears the No. 6 for the Los Angeles Lakers after switching from No. 23, and unsurprisingly Bronny wants to be like his father. The young talent has some major shoes to fill if he wants to end up like his father, but Bronny has genetics and mentoring on his side.

Until recently it wouldn't have been possible for Bronny to wear No. 6, as college players were only allowed to wear digits between 0-5. But that's now been expanded to involve digits 6-9, and it came just in time for the newest talent from the James family.
