Basketball is a great leveler. It’s a sport that treats everyone equally and only helps the best of the best to come to the forefront. An example of equality is the officials and organizations treating Bronny James fairly, impressing LeBron and his wife Savannah.

LeBron James has two sons – Bronny James and Bryce James. While Bronny is eligible for college basketball, Bryce is only sixteen years old. But what happened that stirred the heart of one of the greatest NBA players of all times?

The University of South California head coach Andy Enfield appeared in the ‘Field of 68’ show on Saturday. Enfied discussed at length about the USC and the future of players in the team. He also opened up on how impartially they recruited Bronny James similar to how they recruited other players. “Well, LeBron and Savannah as parents have been terrific. We recruited Bronny like we did any other player. To come to USC, presented the opportunity to him to come get a great education and play on a Top 25 basketball team, and develop as a player. And they felt very comfortable with that.”

For the unversed, Bronny James is NBA legend LeBron James’s elder son who plies his trade as a point guard for the University of South California Trojans.

USC gives Bronny James the amazing opportunity of staying in the same city as his father. Other star recruits for the USC included Isaiah Collier of Wheeler High School and his high school teammate Arrinten Page. But the question that crosses every fan’s mind is if Bronny will make it to the NBA draft. Bronny already has a net worth of $10.5 million.
