Dennis Rodman’s son to transfer to USC to play alongside Bronny James


Bronny James, the son of four-time NBA MVP LeBron James, recently announced his intentions to play college basketball at the University of Southern California.

Bronny was inside the Lakers’ home arena on Saturday night to watch his father and the Lakers take a 2-1 series lead over the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinal. LeBron James’ immediate attention remains on trying to win his fifth NBA championship. 

But Bronny’s verbal commitment to USC means LeBron James is one step closer to reaching his longer term goal of playing alongside his son in the NBA. 

Now, Bronny will play with someone whose dad was also an NBA great.
