Bronny James finally made his NCAA debut

Bronny James finally made his NCAA debut for Southern California on Sunday, coming off the bench and making a huge block for the team, making his presence felt almost immediately. He had suffered a cardiac arrest five months ago that had put the future of his career on the line. Many had presumed that he would never be cleared to play again, and even if he was, he wouldn’t have the same potential as before.

However, those speculations were washed away as Bronny James showcased his abilities in the match. He assisted Vincent Iwuchukwu, who dunked the ball and the two celebrated for a brief moment.

The highlight play of the match was Bronny’s block on Jadon Jones which had the crowd cheering loudly. Bronny’s father LeBron James was also present at the match watching his eldest son by the courtside.
