LeBron James had a different view of the basketball court over the weekend than he is typically used to, as he was a proud dad in the stands rather than the star of the game!
On Sunday, December 10, the legendary Los Angeles Lakers forward supported his son Bronny for his division one college basketball debut after the 19-year-old had a terrifying health scare during practice earlier this year.
Bronny James made his college basketball debut on Sunday, December 10.
“Can’t even tell y’all how EMOTIONAL today was for me! I’m literally drained and all I can say is @bronny you’re simply INCREDIBLE!! D— the wins and loses that will occur. You’ve already won the ultimate goal/championship and that’s LIFE!!! Proud of you kid and today you’ve given me more life! Thank you and I love you 🤎🙏🏾🤴🏾🥺,” the dad-of-three — who shares Bronny, Bryce, 16, and Zhuri, 9, with his wife, Savannah, 37 — wrote in an emotional Instagram caption.
“Young 👑 in the spotlight for USC debut,” a post shared by the Instagram fan account @lebron read in celebration of the special day. The upload included two photos — one of the 38-year-old and his mother, Gloria, recording the game while sitting courtside with their family, and the second featuring a different angle of the back of Bronny’s jersey with his father and younger sister in the background, as LeBron notably still had his iPhone out, proudly filming his son play.

Despite having one of the NBA’s biggest stars cheering on the University of Southern California from the sidelines, the Long Beach State 49ers defeated the Trojans 84-79.
During a post-game press conference, Bronny expressed gratitude after suffering cardiac arrest while practicing back in July, causing him to miss the first eight games of the season.
