<p>Congratulations are in order for <strong>LeBron &#8220;Bronny&#8221; James Jr.</strong>, as he recently committed to the University of Southern California!</p>
<p>In honor of this milestone, <strong><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lebron-james-nba-scoring-record-kareem-abdul-jabbar-lakers/?_gl=1*h2w5t9*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjgwMjQzMjU5LjE2ODM1NjM4OTE.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MzU2Mzg5MC4xLjEuMTY4MzU2NDg0Ny4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> </strong>gave his 18-year-old son a warm shoutout on social media.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Father-Son Duo Acknowledged The USC News On Instagram: &#8220;So D*mn Proud&#8221;</h3>
<p>Over the weekend, Bronny shared the news through an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr6u1Q3y3rL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram post</a>.</p>
<p>Beneath two images of Bronny reppin&#8217; the Los Angeles institution, he straightforwardly wrote, &#8220;Fight On #committed.&#8221;</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Cr6u1Q3y3rL" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>Around that time, LeBron <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr62btDP4LF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uploaded</a> the same photos and some extras and praised his son in the caption.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;FIGHT ON!!! So damn proud of you kid! I have no words besides I LOVE YOU @bronny!!! LET&#8217;S GO!!!!!!!! #GoTrojans.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>While on the subject, we should acknowledge some of the other top-tier institutions the soon-to-be freshman was interested in.</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/highschool/story/2023-01-17/bronny-james-sierra-canyon-high-boys-basketball" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Los Angeles Times</em></a>, his top three schools were USC, Ohio State, and the University of Oregon. The publication also points out that LeBron&#8217;s &#8220;favorite&#8221; of these three choices was Ohio State—which makes sense, as the 38-year-old basketball legend hails from Akron, Ohio.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Bronny Has Been KILLIN&#8217; It!</h3>
<p>Committing to USC is Bronny&#8217;s latest accomplishment, though the list goes on!</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">RELATED: <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/bronny-james-nil/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bronny James Projected As #1 NIL Earner In The Entire Nation With $7.2M Valuation</a></h5>
<p>Earlier this year, the teen was projected as the top NIL (name, image, and likeness) earner in the U.S. with a whopping $7.2M valuation.</p>
<p>This news came on the heels of Bronny signing noteworthy NIL deals with <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/bronny-james-signs-nil-deal-with-beats-by-dre/?_gl=1*12tfvyz*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTEzNTQ3NzEwNC4xNjgzNTYzNzU2*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MzU2Mzc1NS4xLjEuMTY4MzU2Mzc2MS4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beats by Dre</a> and <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/bronny-james-signs-name-image-likeness-deal-with-nike/?_gl=1*k0g0ov*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTMyMTUzNzMzMy4xNjgzNTY0Mzk1*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MzU2NDM5NC4xLjAuMTY4MzU2NDM5NC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nike</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, his family has been cheering him on along the way, and LeBron has spoken highly of his son&#8217;s abilities. In fact, LeBron previously proclaimed, &#8220;My last year [in the NBA] will be played with my son.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also added that he &#8220;would do whatever it takes&#8221; to play alongside his son, noting, &#8220;Wherever Bronny is at, that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ll be&#8230; It&#8217;s not about the money at that point.&#8221;</p>
