LeBron James Stands By Bronny Amid USC Transfer Speculation
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has always been vocal about his family’s importance. Now, as his eldest son, Bronny James, faces decisions about his (college) basketball career, LeBron’s unwavering support shines through.
Recent reports suggest that Bronny James is considering entering the transfer portal after his freshman season with the USC Trojans. The 19-year-old guard averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25 games, including six starts. However, his future at USC became uncertain when his coach, Andy Enfield, left for the head-coaching vacancy at SMU.
When asked about Bronny’s potential transfer, LeBron James addressed the situation with reporters:
“I don’t know where it came from, but at the end of the day, Bronny’s his own man, and he has some tough decisions to make. When he’s ready to make those decisions, he’ll let us all know, but as his family, we’re going to support whatever he does.”

Bronny’s freshman year at USC was marked by challenges. He missed the first eight games of the season due to cardiac arrest during an offseason workout. Despite this setback, he returned to the court, making his college basketball debut against Long Beach State in December. His resilience and determination have impressed both fans and family alike.
LeBron James has repeatedly expressed his desire to play in the NBA alongside his son before his Hall of Fame career ends. While Bronny’s future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: LeBron’s unwavering support will guide him through tough decisions.
As the NBA awaits the next chapter in the James family saga, fans can only wonder where Bronny’s journey will lead. Regardless of the path he chooses, LeBron’s message is clear: “We’re going to support whatever he does.”
