Reappearing after a cardiac arrest, LeBron James’ son makes his father proud
Bronny James – son of NBA star LeBron James, has returned to the college basketball field, after nearly 5 months of rest due to cardiac arrest.
The Los Angeles Lakers just made history, becoming the first champions of the NBA In-Season Tournament. Among them, LeBron James is the player who won the MVP title (best player of the tournament).
After winning the In-Season Tournament championship with the Lakers, “King James” immediately returned home for his son. The NBA’s top star wants to attend a special match that he once said he would never miss, even if it clashes with the Lakers’ schedule.
LeBron James came to watch his son’s match
This special match is the introduction of LeBron James’s “gentleman”, Bronny James in the USC Trojans shirt (against Long Beach State 49ers on December 11). This is not only Bronny’s first match competing at the NCAA level (the highest college basketball tournament in the US), but also the return of the boy born in 2004, after having a cardiac arrest in July.
Bronny James had a cardiac arrest on July 20, while practicing. LeBron James’ son was discovered to have a congenital heart disease.
Bronny James’s time on the field was not too long, but he left his mark. The son of “King James” scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. In particular, Bronny James also made his father sitting in the stands proud. The 19-year-old pitcher recreated the excellent defensive blocking skills that have made LeBron James’ trademark on the NBA playground.
