During the NBA draft combine, basketball fans were treated to a special sight as LeBron James, the NBA legend, was in attendance to watch his son, Bronny James, play in his second and final scrimmage. LeBron, donning a black hoodie, sat in the second row to support his son during the event.
LeBron James, who holds the record for career scoring in the NBA, has expressed his desire to potentially team up with his son in the future. Despite completing his 21st season in the NBA and the possibility of becoming a free agent, LeBron has not given much thought to playing alongside Bronny, as he mentioned after the Lakers' season-ending loss to Denver.
Bronny James, a highly touted prospect, is currently contemplating whether to enter the professional ranks after a single college season. He declared for the NBA draft and entered the transfer portal on April 5, signaling his intent to explore his options.
Initially committing to USC last May after attending Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, Bronny faced a health scare last summer when he suffered cardiac arrest due to a congenital heart defect during a workout at USC. Following surgery, he missed the early part of the season but managed to return and contribute to the Trojans, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25 games.
LeBron James and his family have been avid supporters of Bronny's basketball journey, with his wife and daughter also frequently attending his games at USC. The potential of a father-son duo taking the court together in the NBA remains a tantalizing prospect for fans and the basketball community at large.
