Amid the Bronny James transfer frenzy, LeBron James pitched in with a reality check. Tonight, the 19-year-old made huge waves in the hoops community following his underwhelming freshman year. Several reports suggested that James Jr. might enter the transfer portal and look for another school to play in his sophomore year. Following the win over the Toronto Raptors, the reporters caught hold of King James and asked him about the revelation.
James, in a calm and composed state, dropped fatherly advice to his son. He said, “Bronny is his own man. He has some tough decisions to make. When he is ready to make those decisions, he will let us all know. His family will support whatever he does.” Bronny James Jr. has been under the scanner for the last few months and the spotlight shines bright on him. Unfortunately, during this period, the 19-year-old hasn’t been at his best.

He suffered a cardiac arrest and joined the NCAA race late without much preparation. It massively impacted the rising star’s performance. James Jr. scored at an average of 4.8 points in 25 games for the USC Trojans.
Apart from that, he also faced the brink of hate on the court and listened to the chants of “Overrated” and “Who’s your daddy?” constantly from the crowd. Amid these strange times for the youngster, a massive update, which could shake up the men’s college basketball, dropped tonight.

And, at this junction, a report revealed that Bronny could head to the transfer portal to play for another school.
