The two played their first game together in October 2024, something that LeBron toldESPN"means everything” to him.

“For someone who didn’t have that growing up, to be able to have that influence on your kids and have influence on your son, be able to have moments with your son, and ultimately to be able to work with your son, I think that’s one of the greatest things that a father can ever hope for or wish for,” he said.

Bronny is quickly becoming a household name in the athlete universe. At age 16, helanded on the cover ofSports Illustrated; a few days after turning 18, Bronny signed anendorsement dealwith Nike.

However, Bronny’s path to basketball success has not always been smooth. On July 24, 2023, he had a major health scare when hewent into cardiac arrestduring a workout at USC.Bronny was dischargedfrom Cedars-Sinai Medical Center within the week and made hisUSC basketball debutin December 2023.
