LeBron James’ eldest son, Bruni, says he will play basketball at USC in the fall.
Broni James suddenly announced his long-awaited decision on social media Saturday, about two hours before his father’s Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the second-round series.
18-year-old James was a McDonald’s All-American just like his dad, but he’s among the few non-committal high school basketball prospects heading into the summer. The namesake son of the leading scorer in NBA history played at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, an outdoorsy neighborhood in suburban Los Angeles known for educating scion from the sports and entertainment industries.

The younger James’ full name is LeBron James Jr. but he is better known by his family name. His younger brother, Bryce, is also an elite collegiate member of Sierra Canyon.
