Bronny James, son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron, has opted not to take advice he received from LaVar Ball about the next step in his basketball career.
Ball, the father of Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo and Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo, had previously told Bronny to not join a college and instead move to the National Basketball League in Australia like his son. LaMelo spent a year with Illawarra Hawks before moving to Charlotte in 2020.
LaMelo would go on to win the NBA rookie of the year, and later be an NBA All-Star in 2022. His father, LaVar, recently advised Bronny to follow a similar path to his son rather than to go to a US college - but he has now committed to the University of Southern California.
