On the court, LeBron James is seen as one of the most dominant figures and biggest personalities in basketball. But as a dad, he appears to be hands off.
James’s son, Bronny, has committed to USC as a four-star prospect and fans may naturally assume the celebrity dad would be incredibly involved in the process. After all, the four-time MVP has repeatedly stated he wants to play with Bronny in the NBA. But according to Trojans coach Andy Enfield, LeBron and his wife Savannah are not helicopter parents by any means.
“Well, Savannah and LeBron have been extremely supportive of Bronny and his decision to come to USC,” Enfield told ESPN. “They have a great understanding of what it takes to become a great player. I think the expectations—there are certainly expectations—but the expectations are not unreasonable as parents.
“They want what most other parents want. They want their son to come get an education, develop on the basketball court, play with other good players and to have a coaching staff that can help them develop and help him become a better player,” Enfield continued. “We think, as coaching staff, LeBron and Savannah have a great understanding of what it’s going to take for Bronny to be a great college player and get to the next level.”
