The James family took a moment to reflect when watching Saturday’s contest between USC and Arizona State.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said he was almost overcome with emotion due to his mother’s reaction to seeing Bronny suit up for the Trojans:
LeBron James @KingJamesCrazy man! 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”. Shit almost brought me to tears just now.
Bronny, having suffered cardiac arrest during an offseason workout, made his long-awaited debut on Dec. 10 against Long Beach State. The freshman guard has averaged 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists through 10 appearances.
Soon enough, Gloria James might be able to watch her son and grandson step onto the same NBA court. Playing alongside Bronny has long been a dream for LeBron, and Bronny is reportedly rebuilding his draft stock.
