Over the weekend, freshman USC Trojans guard Bronny James impressively made his collegiate debut. It has been a long time coming for the young player, but it was well worth the wait. 

Unfortunately, he suffered a cardiac arrest attack earlier in the summer, which kept him off the floor. But thankfully, he was cleared for a full return to the court.

The son of NBA legend LeBron James, Bronny has been in the spotlight for some time now. The entire world knew about his health problems, but he never let anything get him down.

Head coach Andy Enfield spoke about the debut of James and praised the young man for how he has dealt with everything.

“We recruited Bronny James because he’s a very good basketball player,” USC coach Andy Enfield said. “He went through a very unfortunate situation. He’s done an incredible job with that. So extra eyeballs or spotlight, sometimes that comes with a guy like Bronny, but we have to get better as a basketball team.”

Per Thuc Nhi Nguyen of The Los Angeles Times

James only played 16 minutes during the game, as the team tried to ease him back into everything. But he was impactful during his time on the floor.

It was a great sight to see for any basketball fan, but especially for his dad. LeBron took to social media after the game to let his emotions out. That day he was just a proud dad and now a basketball superstar.

Going forward, Bronny can expect his minutes to increase, and we can't wait. He is a talented player on the court, and it's going to be fun to watch him perform at the highest level.
