Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, had a terrifying incident last month when he suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice session with his USC Trojans team.
The 18-year-old was rushed to the hospital and underwent several tests to determine the cause of his condition.
Fortunately, he was released from the hospital after a few days and is now recovering at home with his family.
Bronny James is one of the most promising young basketball players in the country.
He was ranked as a five-star recruit by 247Sports and the No. 22 player in the Class of 2023.
He had committed to play for USC, where he was expected to make an immediate impact as a freshman.
Shareef O’Neal, another son of an NBA legend, knows what it’s like to go through a life-threatening health scare.
The 23-year-old, who is the son of Shaquille O’Neal, had open-heart surgery in 2018 after doctors discovered an anomalous coronary artery, a rare heart defect that could have killed him.
Shareef O’Neal, who played for the G League Ignite last season, reached out to Bronny James after hearing about his cardiac arrest.
He told Good Morning America that he offered him some advice and reassurance.
“I just said, any questions you have, you can ask me because I can probably answer them for you,” he said.
Shareef O’Neal also spoke to TMZ Sports at LAX on Friday and gave an update on Bronny James’ condition. He said that he was doing well and that he didn’t think his health scare would affect his basketball career “at all”.
“He’s good,” O’Neal said. “I don’t think it’ll affect anything.”
Bronny James has a bright future ahead
Despite the setback, Bronny James still has a lot of potential and talent to fulfill his dreams of becoming a basketball star.
He has inherited his father’s genes and work ethic, as well as his skills and personality.
He has shown flashes of brilliance on the court, playing for Sierra Canyon School and various AAU teams.
Bronny James has also attracted a lot of attention and fame off the court, thanks to his social media presence and celebrity status.
He has millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok, where he posts videos of himself and his friends having fun and showing off their talents.
Bronny James may have to take some time off from basketball to recover from his health scare, but he is not giving up on his passion.
He has the support of his family, friends, and fans, who are all rooting for him to bounce back stronger than ever.
Shareef O’Neal is one of them. He said that he was proud of Bronny James for being brave and positive.
“He’s a strong kid,” O’Neal said. “He’s going to be good.”
