Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, commits to the University of Southern California

 LeBron James has achieved everything possible in the NBA, except his last stated goal of playing his final season with his son, Bronny.

That dream seemed a little closer on Saturday as Bronny announced that he had committed to play basketball at the University of Southern California.

The 18-year-old, a four-star and top 50-ranked recruit nationally, said in an Instagram post, “Fight On #committed” alongside two pictures of himself – one in the Trojans locker room and another in a Trojan uniform.

The guard, who played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles, chose USC over Oregon and Ohio State.

James was named a McDonald’s All-American after averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 steals last season, and will join a USC team seeking to reach the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive time.

“So damn proud of you kid!” his father LeBron wrote on Instagram. “I have no words besides I LOVE YOU!!!”

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer made headlines last year when he said he wanted to play his final season in the league alongside Bronny. LeBron James has achieved everything possible in the NBA, except his last stated goal of playing his final season with his son, Bronny.
