LeBron James and his son Bronny are making waves in the basketball world. Born in 2004, Bronny’s skills drew attention at a young age and he is now playing high school basketball at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles. ESPN even broadcasts his team’s games due to national interest. Despite this, LeBron has been protective of his son, not allowing interviews during his freshman year. However, Bronny insists that his father did not push him into the sport, telling Sports Illustrated in August 2022 that he feels basketball is his calling.
After committing to the University of Southern California, Bronny experienced a scare when he suffered cardiac arrest during a workout with the USC team. While he was rushed to the hospital, he has since been discharged and is in stable condition. LeBron and his wife Savannah have always supported their son’s basketball ambitions, with LeBron expressing his desire to play alongside his son in the NBA one day. He has emphasized that he did not pressure his children to play basketball, instead allowing them to choose their own paths.
LeBron has expressed his pride in Bronny, stating that he is his biggest cheerleader and is excited for his son’s future in the sport. He has confirmed that he will always support his son and his aspirations, regardless of where his basketball career takes him.
