The USC basketball team has not been very good this season. Even so, they have had fans, media and NBA teams alike tuning into the their games. A big reason for that is they have a potential lottery pick in Isaiah Collier. But perhaps the key reason for USC’s popularity is the presence of Bronny James. An NBA prospect in his own right, Bronny has made a remarkable return to the court after going into cardiac arrest in the offseason. His dad, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, has made sure not to miss his son’s games. LeBron recently took to social media to drop a heartfelt message on watching Bronny play.
Crazy man! My mom sitting right next to me just said “You know how amazing this is!? Sitting here with my son while watching my grandson on TV. I feel so present and blessed”. Shit almost brought me to tears just now.

LeBron James has a player option on his Lakers contract this upcoming offseason and he’s been very clear about his desire to play at least one season in the NBA with Bronny. Bronny is eligible for the NBA Draft after this season at USC.
