An off day became a family day for LeBron James, who sat next to his mother while watching his oldest son play college basketball.
Maybe the scene will become even more special in the next few years, if Bronny James joins LeBron in the NBA, but the Saturday moment was pretty cool for the James family, too.
“Crazy man!” James posted on X Saturday afternoon before USC and Bronny fell, 82-67 to Arizona State. “My mom sitting right next to me just said ‘You know how amazing this is!? Sitting here with my son while watching my grandson on TV. I feel so present and blessed’.
“S–t almost brought me to tears just now.”
Bronny, who started for a third straight game for USC, scored seven points with five assists and four rebounds.
LeBron likely was watching the game from home after his Lakers fell to the Nets in Los Angeles on Friday and are set to host the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
LeBron has been open about wanting to play with his son in the NBA and has been a supportive father even from afar.
His Lakers beat the Mavericks on Wednesday before James rushed to the locker room to catch some of the USC-Arizona game.
He watched the matchup as he fielded questions from reporters.
Bronny, a 6-foot-4 19-year-old, recently entered the starting lineup for USC after suffering cardiac arrest during a practice this summer.
The freshman guard entered play averaging 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in his first 10 collegiate games.
