Former professional basketball player Nick Young, who formerly represented USC, wrote: “Welcome to the family bro bro.”
Current USC student Natalia Bryant made the remark, “FTFO,” which stands for “Fight the f— on,” a play on the Trojans’ catchphrase.
According to ESPN, Bronny is now regarded as one of the best five point guards in the nation.
Bronny, who will be available for the 2024 NBA draft, has first-round potential, according to ESPN NBA draft analyst Jonathan Givony.
Prior to deciding on USC, the athlete also gave Ohio State and Oregon some thought, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In a post-game press conference following the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs, LeBron, 38, praised his kid for choosing “a great university.”
“I’m happy for him. What’s happening here is wonderful, he continued. “To my knowledge, this is the first member of the James Gang to attend college, unless it was one of my great-grandmothers or great-grandfathers or someone who lived long before my time.”
“Obviously, his dad didn’t go to school,” LeBron continued. His mother did not attend college. My mother may have briefly visited a campus, perhaps a community college or something, but she was too busy chasing after [me] to spend much time in the classroom.
“It’s very, very, very, very exciting, very, very humbling, and a great moment for our family,” he remarked.
