LeBron James may have been conducting his post-match media duties in body on Thursday evening but his mind was locked in on his son Bronny James’ college basketball game.
While speaking to the media after the Lakers’ 127-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, James’ glare remained laser focused on the TV screen in the background.
His eldest son, Bronny, was playing for USC Trojans in their loss to the Arizona Wildcats and finished with 11 points, six assists, five rebounds, one block and five turnovers in his second career start.
As such, the inevitable question will follow. If Bronny is drafted in this year’s draft, willLeBronfollow him to that franchise?

“Either in the same uniform or a matchup against him. I don’t mean like [guarding one another all game] — because he’s a point guard and I’m a, at this point now I’m playing center or whatever the team needs from me.
“But I would love to do the whole Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. thing. That would be ideal for sure. I ask him what are his aspirations, and he says he wants to play in the NBA. So, if he wants do to it, he’s got to put in the work. I’m here already, so, I’m just waiting on him.”
