Bronny James has been ready for the game of basketball.
The focus of attention was the 19-year-old son of NBA legend LeBron James being introduced at USC’s annual HoopLA event, which ushers in a new collegiate basketball season.
Bronny and his USC teammates greeted guests warmly and gave a formal introduction to each player.
Wearing a red and yellow Troy Trojans jersey and sweatpants, Bronny performed a dance as he made his way onto the court.
USC’s Instagram account captioned a video of Bronny showing off his dancing skills, saying, “During his Trojan HoopLA introduction, @bronny hit the dougie.”
Prominent sportsmen joined Bronny at the USC ceremony on Thursday. DJ Zack Bia and rapper Saweetie provided entertainment for Trojan athletes and supporters during the kickoff celebration.
As his USC classmates and new colleagues jubilated over Bronny, he was photographed donning his No. 6 jersey.
When he returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, LeBron, 38, reverted to his previous jersey number, No. 23, which he had worn momentarily while playing for the Miami Heat in 2010.
Followed the occasion, LeBron uploaded Instagram story snippets depicting Bronny’s introduction and exit.
The collegiate basketball debut of Bronny, a former Sierra Canyon star, is among the most anticipated of the year.While he recovers from his cardiac arrest in July, Bronny’s availability for the team’s inaugural game on November 9 remains uncertain. A later diagnosis of “a congenital heart defect that is both anatomically and functionally significant” was made for him.
Andy Enfield, head basketball coach at USC, confirmed to ESPN on September 23 that Bronny was absent from the team’s inaugural practice of the year. He further stated, “Bronny is in excellent health, but we are unable to provide any medical updates at this time.” We are ecstatic for him because he is academically succeeding and attending class regularly.
