LeBron James has achieved everything possible in the NBA, except his last stated goal of playing his final season with his son, Bronny.
That dream seemed a little closer on Saturday as Bronny announced that he had committed to play basketball at the University of Southern California.
The 18-year-old, a four-star and top 50-ranked recruit nationally, said in an Instagram post, “Fight On #committed” alongside two pictures of himself – one in the Trojans locker room and another in a Trojan uniform.
The guard, who played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles, chose USC over Oregon and Ohio State.
James was named a McDonald’s All-American after averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 steals last season, and will join a USC team seeking to reach the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive time.
“So damn proud of you kid!” his father LeBron wrote on Instagram. “I have no words besides I LOVE YOU!!!”
The NBA’s all-time leading scorer made headlines last year when he said he wanted to play his final season in the league alongside Bronny.
