The huge amount of money that Bronny James is expected to receive is a dream number for many professional players.

 

After LeBron James shared his wish to play with his son in the NBA, many new doors opened for LeBron James Jr (Bronny James). In terms of qualifications, this 4-star talent is only ranked 34th, but Bronny’s image and name are hard to match with any other player of the same age. As the son of the famous LeBron James, of course the boy born in 2004 inherits both physical strength and reputation.

Bronny James’ current value in the NBA has skyrocketed when he is considered a “bait” to attract LeBron to any team. However, if the right to decide is still in Bronny’s hands, will this player participate in the 2023 NBA Draft when he is eligible? Assuming Bronny James chooses to play in college before going to the NBA, he will still receive a huge amount of money.

How will Bronny James make money?

Currently, the NCAA tournament still does not allow universities to pay players. However, the league has made some concessions and given stars at the college level the money they deserve. By signing items, advertising or affiliate marketing, NCAA players can bring in a sizable income.

Among them, NIL (Name, Image, Likeliness) contracts will pay a large sum of money to use the name, image and popularity of an NCAA player. This is also a reason why many college athletes become stars on social networks as the amount of money they receive is positively correlated with popularity. Besides, becoming a public figure will help players live more moderately and maintain a better image to increase their positive influence.

Bronny James can be the face of any brand in any industry, as long as they comply with state and university laws. Previously, many NCAA athletes received NIL contracts with sports fashion brands, drinks and even fast food or dental clinics. A big name on social networks like Bronny will definitely be offered by many brands and he just needs to make a decision.

 

How much money can Bronny James make?

According to reputable college sports website On3 Sports, Bronny James is “valued” at $6.3 million. The reason for this money comes from the 18-year-old boy’s Instagram account with 6.1 million followers and TikTok with 5.4 million. This number will certainly increase as Bronny receives larger contracts in the future. Currently, this player has signed a NIL contract with high-end underwear brand PSD for an undisclosed amount.

$6.3 million is of course a huge number for a college player or any scale. If we take some comparisons, Bronny’s NIL value is nearly 3 times higher than the next ranked person, Mikey Williams. Even more than 300 out of 486 current NBA players receive a salary of less than $6.3 million. If Bronny James chooses the college basketball path before going to the NBA, he will receive the same amount of money as All-Star Darius Garland.
