Bronny James made his USC debut on December 10 after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from a cardiac arrest and his dad, NBA legend and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, was at the game.
Bronny came off the bench against Long Beach State and played 17 minutes. He finished with four points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. His one block was a chase-down block, a play NBA fans have seen LeBron make several times.
After the USC-Long Beach State game, LeBron sent an emotional message to Bronny on Instagram.
