He took the mic, and fans quickly reacted to the team bonding moment on social media. His father, NBA star LeBron James, shared his reaction on Twitter.
“AYYYYEEEEEEEE!!! #FightOn,” he wrote.

Earlier this year, Bronny James announced he was committing to the University of California and signed his letter of intent. Although the institution is known to educate children of celebrities, James’ attendance is expected to generate buzz surrounding his basketball performance. USC is reportedly taking additional security measures for celebrities who may want to watch him play.
“This year, to contend with the star power, the school could create a separate entrance for celebrities and other VIPs who want to watch Bronny and USC men’s basketball,” ESPN’s Myron Medcalf said. “It also plans to adjust security measures for players as general attendance increases.”
The 18-year-old is considered a five-star recruit and was ranked No. 4 in 247Sports’ 2023 ranking of the top basketball recruits from California.
