LeBron James has supported his son Bronny through thick and thin. Though James Jr. is not having the best of seasons with the University of Southern California Trojans, James Sr. can still be spotted supporting his son by attending his game at times. There is no lack of love in their bond. Recently, however, during a game against the Oregon State, a YouTuber speculated that LeBron has been helping his son.

The YouTuber in his online streaming stated that “LeBron put pressure on USC to complain.” However, the allegations didn’t stop there.

What other things did the YouTuber say?

The YouTuber recollected an incident regarding Bronny’s foul and stated that “And I saw that game and they called Bronny for travelling and he travelled. He travelled… he clearly travelled I saw a game where LeBron would probably get a call but Bronny James didn’t get the call. He went up to layup and didn’t get it and the refs didn’t call a foul.”

While there is no factual proof on LeBron going to the USC or the Pac-12, he has been present in to support Bronny. But that does not mean that Bron is influencing officials to be more considerate toward his son. The speculations of the YouTuber do not land well right now but might have caught fire since LeBron has been vocal in his defense of the son.

As per Sideline Sources, LeBron had called out a referee’s decision while Bronny played against the University of Arizona. Bronny was called out for a double dribble that had him perplexed at the referee’s decision. As is natural for LeBron, he sided with his son and posted the video of the same on his Instagram story with the caption “MAN WHAT!!!! (8 disappointed emoticons)”

LeBron’s move had divided the internet with some calling out the referee while others siding with the officials. This must have been the reason why rumors of LeBron trying to get officials in his son’s favor caught fire. But LeBron as mentioned previously in no official report has done anything of such order. Meanwhile, Bronny will again get a fresh chance to prove himself.

What’s next for Bronny?

Bronny will most probably take court against the Stanford Cardinal tonight and that match will be a good opportunity for James Jr. to stand true to his potential. While LeBron will be wishing his son a bright future, Bronny too would be looking forward to leaving no stone unturned against the Cardinal and delivering his best.
