If there is anything LeBron James loves more than basketball, it is hyping up his two sons in their respective journeys of following in his footsteps. Both are trying to make it to the big league like their father and currently, Bronny,19, plays for the University of Southern California’s Trojan Men’s team, while Bryce,16, plays at the Sierra Canyon School.

Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest earlier in the summer during a basketball workout, having to take some time out of the court to make sure he was safe to play again. Well, Bronny was recently cleared by doctors to resume playing again, and the proud USC freshman was seen practicing on the court. LeBron is more than elated at this news and shares the good news with his fans.

Proud father Bron shared a story on his Instagram page, supporting Bronny, who is now back in action playing for the USC Trojans basketball team. The post showed snippets of Bronny wearing the USC jersey and performing drills and practices. We can see a clear indication of the operation scar on Bronny’s chest in the pictures as well.

Well, the good news is he is back, and there’s nothing that could make his father happier or prouder. Bronny is set to make his collegiate debut very soon. If that isn’t heartwarming enough, sources say that King James has already told the Lakers that if they play on the same day that Bronny makes his USC debut, he will not be attending the game.
