Bronny James commits to USC! Can he make it to the NBA in time to play with father LeBron?

Four-star guard Bronny James and son of NBA superstar LeBron James has committed to the University of Southern California for the start of next season.

In a recent interview with ESPN, LeBron James said, "I want to be on the floor with my boy, I've got to be on the floor with Bronny, either in the same uniform or in a matchup against each other."

The question on many people's lips in the basketball world is can Bronny James actually step up and make it to the NBA level to play with his father?

So let's take a look and see if Bronny James really can make it!

In the interview with ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Lebron James talked about his illustrious career and "doing a full year with him (Bronny) in the same uniform would be the icing on the cake."

Bronny James is currently playing in his senior year as a two-way guard with Los Angeles Prep High School titan Sierra Canyon.

Bronny played every game of his freshman year for Sierra Canyon, but his sophomore year was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic and a serious injury to his meniscus.

In his full return from injury in his junior year, Bronny played alongside seniors such as five-star recruit Amari Bailey and four-star recruit Kijani Wright.

In his senior year now, James is 18 years old, 6ft3, and possesses a gifted three-point shot and the power to get through traffic at the rim, according to sportingnews.com.

Being LeBron James' son, Bronny was not short of NCAA Division One basketball scholarship offers, playing in his final year at High School.

According to ESPN, Bronny James is a four-star recruit ranked 19th nationally in the class of 2023, behind Kentucky commits DJ Wagner and Justin Edwards who make up the top two.

Heading into college, Bronny was not short of D1 offers with numerous colleges offering him a full athletic scholarship.

The teams included who have offered to take his services are, Memphis, Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, USC, and Oregon.

Ultimately, Bronny committed to USC on May 6^th, announcing it on his Instagram profile.

According to dailymail.co.uk, LeBron James spoke after a victory over Golden State Warriors: "One of the best days of my life. Personally, it's even more special to me because it's the first time someone out of my family will go to college."

Bronny James was selected as one of the 24 high school elite basketball athletes for McDonald's historic All-American game in January 2023.

His dad LeBron expressed his delight on social media saying, "Congratulations Son! So proud of you! Continue to be you through it all no matter what!! You're truly AMAZING!!!"

Bronny will follow in the same footsteps as his dad, who was unsurprisingly selected in the same game 20 years ago.

LeBron Sr scored 27 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and dished out 7 assists in his McDonald's All-American game, so if Bronny can get near that, any college will be happy to have him.

According to ESPN draft expert Jonathon Givony, Bronny is already being considered as a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft.

With the 38-year-old Lebron James averaging 30 points, 8.5 rebounds, and seven assists, it's easy to assume that come 2024, the pair will be playing with or against each other in the NBA.
