Deep concern within the James clan. This Monday, July 24, 2023, Bronny James, eldest son of basketball legend LeBron James, suffered a cardiac arrest while training. The 18-year-old, destined for a brilliant career in the NBA, collapsed while in the gymnasium of the University of Southern California (USC), where he studies. According to information from the American journalist Shams Charania, the teenager was immediately taken care of by the emergency services. Taken to hospital, he is currently in stable condition.
“LeBron James and his wife Savannah made a point of publicly expressing their sincere thanks for the medical personnel of the university of USC” who would have notably accompanied Bronny James to the emergency room, reports a relative of the family in a press release relayed by the journalist of The Athletic. “Yesterday (Monday editor’s note), Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest during training”, says the Lakers star’s spokesperson before adding that “medical personnel were able to pick up Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and is no longer in intensive care.” “We ask for the privacy of the James family, and will update the media as more information becomes available,” he specifies.

LeBron James, father hen
There is no doubt that this drama has upset the 38-year-old athlete who dreams of seeing his son join his team. “I have to be in the field with my boy. I have to play with Bronny”he confided in an interview with ESPN. “I asked him what he wanted to do and he told me he would like to join the NBA. It’s up to him to work. I’m here, I’m waiting for him”.
And if the young man does not join his father at the Lakers, whatever, LeBron James has nothing against the idea of facing his boy. “Either in the same team or as an opponent. At least one game-up against him. Not the whole game, of course, because he plays point guard and I play pivot or what the team needs at this stage of my career”, he added. Fingers crossed that Bronny’s state of health has no negative impact on the rest of his projects. To be continued…
