In this story:

Your USC men's basketball program got some incredible news recently that freshman guard Bronny James has been cleared to return to basketball action. After unfortunately suffering a cardiac arrest attack over the summer, James has been out while recovering.

But with him finally being cleared, he is expected to start practicing with the team soon and then make his debut shortly after. Bronny is the son of NBA legend LeBron James, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.

After the news came out, the elder James said that he would skip playing in a game for the Lakers to come to see the debut of his son if the games landed on the same day. This led to some backlash for James, but most were in support of the NBA legend.

Long-time NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith chimed in on the matter and gave his opinion on it all. He has never been shy about making his feelings known on a subject, and he wasn't about to stop now.

Family over everything. Some things require sacrifice, and James understands that. The Lakers aren't going to have any issues with him skipping a game, and nobody else should either.

This is a once and a lifetime chance for Bronny, and his dad doesn't want to miss it. Even if he gets fined by the NBA, he doesn't care one bit.

Hopefully, we get to see Bronny make his debut sooner rather than later. The Trojans will be on the road for the majority of December, and the team would surely love for him to make the debut at the Galen Center in front of the loyal Trojans fans.
