LeBron on Bronny’s commitment to USC: “Unless it was one of my great grandmothers or great grandfathers, or someone way before my time, to my knowledge this is the first one of the James Gang to go to college.”

He is going to USC for the girls.
Might sound like haterade but where a basketball player goes to college just seems overrated and the amount of pride and history that usually follows that player for the rest of their career (example, oh Kyrie went to Duke). These players go for a semester and are unenrolled by second semester. At least in the 80s and 90s, guys stayed for at least 3 years. In football, they HAVE to stay for three years so the narrative of where they went to join makes sense.

But how does it affects Lebronās legacy?
All clowning aside, LeBron just seems like a really caring, supportive, involved dad and I think thatās pretty cool.
Why would you pick usc over ucla, ucla has better campus, location, historically better program, and better coach. It boggles my mind.
Iām sure some of the Raptors and Celtics went to college?
Aw, that was actually a really sweet and thoughtful answer. You can tell it actually means a lot to him to have a kid going to college at all — like beyond basketball, that has a special meaning it seems and that’s really cool. I know we only know the public side of it, but he seems to be a really supportive and solid dad to his kids without putting too much undue pressure on em. Thanks for sharing, this was a nice clip
Thatās legit.
Not a bron stan but seemed like a genuine happy answer
How many more generations until the first one graduates college tho ?
Love how supportive LeBron is as a father. Lotta yāall like to make fun of this dude, but heās always come off as an exemplary parent.
Many people, myself included, didnāt even grow up with a father in their lives/or had to deal with a POS deadbeat.
Mad Respect.
I mean, I get it. But itās not his sons plan to finish college so does it count?
Bunch of comedians in this thread š
Brons acting like bronny aināt just gonna drop out after 1 and a half semester of underwater basket weaving courses
Gang gang brooooo
How do people not like this dude? Heās a good dude. One of the most intelligent ballers during interviews. Not perfect by any means, but damn heās just a good dude.
I was hoping Bronny would go to the Big10. Partially for the more competitive experience, but partially to grow his Ohio roots. Regardless, awesome moment for the James family and a massive milestone regardless of how successful Bron had been on and off the court. Higher education is and always should be an accomplishment
LeBron: “The word ‘posse’ is extremely racist and should never be used”
Also LeBron: “GANG GANG GANG”
Does it really matter if you aren’t going to university for an education, he’s just a glorified minor league bball player. Dude is gonna be at USC right until the end of March madness then he’s gonna dip to train for the draft.
Everyoneās got jokes but this dude has so much talent that he changed history for his family and anyone to come after him for many, many generations. No dumb joke any loser makes on Reddit can take anything away from that.
This is one of those things where I feel like people forget that no matter the class divisions, the history of racism and oppression can still harm black people – obviously Iām sure Bronny has a great asset in leaning on Lebron and a huge community of people to advise him, but it does make you think about the privilege of coming from families that have always gone to university and can tell you about what to expect
Love or hate Lebron he really is just a good person/ father. Heās corny af too and to be such a major sports figure since he was so young and never to have any scandals proves that.
He might really make something of his life. Break the curse.
Lebron seems like the kind of dad that would support whatever you are doing as long as you’re bettering yourself. Like if Brony wanted to be….like an HVAC specialist Lebron would be so happy and manage to bring it up interviews and wear his companies logo etc
Lebron doesnāt have a degree to fall back on. What happens when he retires from the nba ? Bronny better earn enough money to support his parents retirement
hold up.. did he say when his mom was 19 he was 3?
I mean Kyrie went to Duke so Iām not sure what heās talking about here? Lol
