Bronny James, the 19-year-old son of NBA legend LeBron James, has officially thrown his hat into the 2024 NBA Draft ring —just months after a harrowing cardiac arrest during a USC practice last July. The rising basketball star also entered the NCAA transfer portal, keeping his options open for collegiate play.
Announcing the news via Instagram, Bronny reflected on his \"year with some ups and downs\" at USC, where his freshman season was cut short. He underwent surgery to address a congenital heart defect, later praising his family, doctors, and fans for their unwavering support.
The move sets the stage for a potential father-son duo in the NBA, a storyline straight out of a sports movie
. LeBron, who has long expressed his dream of sharing the court with Bronny, recently signed a two-year extension with the Lakers—aligning perfectly with his son's draft timeline.
Basketball analysts are buzzing: Can Bronny's defensive skills and three-point shooting shine in the pros? Meanwhile, fans worldwide are rooting for this comeback kid
. Stay tuned for draft night drama!
