The NBA world and basketball fans in general have been waiting to find out where Bronny James would go for the next step in his career.
The NBA G League, teams abroad, and college were all options for Bronny James and he finally announced his decision on Saturday. After attending high school at Sierra Canyon, Bronny announced that he will attend the University of Southern California. After the Lakers beat the Warriors, LeBron James had a lot to say about it.
“First of all, congratulations to my son on his next journey and picking a great university in USC,” LeBron James said. “I’m really proud of him. This is an incredible thing, I was telling Mike after the game. Unless it was one of my great-grandmothers or great-grandfathers that was way before my time, to my knowledge, this is the first one out of the James Gang to go to college.
“Obviously, his dad didn’t go, his mom didn’t go to college. I think my mom stepped on campus a bit, junior college or something but, she had my lil a** running around so she couldn’t spend much time in the classroom… So it’s very very exciting, very humbling, and a great moment for our family. It’s super cool, he’s a great kid, USC’s getting a great kid.”

LeBron James’ pride in his son’s achievement was really obvious, it’s safe to say that he is really happy with Bronny’s decision. He must have played a large role in making it happen, but he was content to keep the focus on his son and what it means to the family as a whole.
Bronny James Announced His Decision On Instagram
Bronny James has everything he needs to eventually make the NBA. The young King is signed with Klutch Sports and already has a NIL deal as well. He is making millions before he even goes to college, but the aim now will be to use this time to improve his game and focus on that aspect of his career.
He announced his decision via Instagram and the hope will be that it turns out to be the right one. LeBron James and his family will also be in California, so Bronny will have their support during this time. Bronny James has taken another step towards playing basketball at the highest level just like his father has for the last two decades.
