Lakers legend LeBron James is a true supporter of his son Bronnty as he didn’t wait to celebrate the LA Lakers’ dominating 127-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. James emerged with a remarkable performance tallying 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists on 10-of-19 shooting, including three triples.

However, LeBron James didn’t want to miss his son, Bronny James’ game as the USC Trojans faced Arizona Wildcats during the Mavericks-Lakers contest. LeBron rushed into the Lakers’ tunnel and revealed that he had to catch his son in action:
“I have to go catch my son’s game real quick,” LeBron shouted as he ran through the tunnel.

It turned out to be a great night for LeBron James against Mavs but the same can’t be said for his son Bronny. LeBron dropped a near triple-double, and Bronny had nine points in 15 minutes on 4-of-7 shooting for the Trojans. It was a team-high score until that point for Bronny.
Bronny James did have one of his best season games against the Wildcats but the Trojans as a team toiled hard. With 10 minutes to go in the second half, USC were down 18 against the Wildcats. Bronny couldn’t turn the game in Trojans’ favor and it concluded with Trojans enduring a defeat by 82-67.
Apart from Bronny, Dennis Rodman’s son, DJ Rodman, and Kobe Johnson were the only two players in double digits for the Trojans. Rodman garnered 16 points, while Johnson notched 12. Bronny’s Trojans had the exact opposite outing to LeBron James’ Lakers.
Lakers trounced the Mavericks to get to the .500 mark again. Anthony Davis nearly finished with his third career triple-double, with 28 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists, while D’Angelo Russell had 29 points, shooting 5-of-7 from 3.
