Bronny is a rising junior at Sierra Canyon High School and point guard on the basketball team. During his freshman year, ESPN reported that he scored 15 points in a game against St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, which is LeBron’s alma mater. This past February, the Los Angeles Daily News confirmed that Bronny underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in his knee. Fortunately, it seems like he’s made a full recovery. This past May, Who’s Next posted a TikTok video of Bronny back on the court. “Bronny has been cleared to start hoopin’!,” the caption reads.

According to his player profile on ESPN, Bronny has already received an offer to play basketball at the University of Kentucky after he graduates high school in 2023. He’s also reportedly being recruited by several other schools, including Duke University and UCLA. LeBron’s son is currently No. 28 on 247 Sports’ list of Top Basketball Recruits from the class of 2023. Speaking to CBS Detroit back in 2015, LeBron said that he didn’t appreciate college scouts approaching Bronny at such a young age. “He’s already got some offers from colleges, it’s pretty crazy,” LeBron said. “It should be a violation, you shouldn’t be recruiting 10-year-old kids.” However, LeBron still noted how proud he is of his son’s efforts on the court. “It’s crazy, he plays just like I did,” the NBA star added. “He has great awareness and he’d rather pass first and set guys up. Most kids nowadays just want to score.” And for more entertainment and celebrity news sent to you directly, sign up for our daily newsletter. While Bronny doesn’t graduate from high school for another two years, LeBron has said that he’s looking forward to the day when he and his son could be playing professional ball together. “You want to ask me what is the greatest achievement of my life? If I’m on the same court as my son in the NBA,” LeBron explained in a 2018 segment on UNINTERRUPTED. LeBron also said that he would be happy to play with or against his son. Though that day is still to come, they have collaborated elsewhere. Bronny and his high school teammates were featured in IMDbTV’s docuseries Top Class: The Life and Times of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers, which LeBron produced. The father and son have a very close relationship outside of sports as well. On his son’s 16th birthday this past October, LeBron posted some old photos him and a heartfelt message on Instagram. “Thank you for allowing me to be your inspiration, leader, listener, mediator, as well as many more things but most importantly simply being YOUR DAD!,” LeBron wrote.

I believe that my kids can do anything they put their minds to,” Savannah explained. “We are just normal people from Northeast Ohio. You can look at it as a very good thing, because maybe we don’t understand what we could be. To me, that’s much more stressful—it takes much more energy rather than just being yourself. And I feel like that’s definitely rubbed off on our kids.” RELATED: See Michael Jordan’s Three Oldest Kids All Grown Up.
