Bronny James, the 18-year-old son of basketball superstar LeBron James, is receiving overwhelming support from family and friends following a recent health scare.

During a workout session at the University of Southern California's Galen Center, Bronny experienced a cardiac arrest, prompting immediate medical attention. He was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, with his condition classified as a Code 3 emergency.

Thankfully, a representative for the James family confirmed that Bronny's condition has stabilized, and he is no longer in the intensive care unit. The James family has asked for privacy during this challenging time but expressed gratitude towards the medical and athletic staff at USC for their exceptional care.

Amidst the worrying situation, Bronny's younger brother, Bryce Maximus, took to Instagram to share a touching photo of the two brothers, expressing his support with a heartfelt red heart emoji.

Bryce Maximus, a rising basketball talent himself, recently received a Division I scholarship offer from Duquesne University and has played alongside his brother in the California Basketball Club during international competitions.

Bronny, on the other hand, has already achieved significant milestones, including participation in the prestigious McDonald's All-American Game, a feature in Sports Illustrated, and a lucrative Nike endorsement deal.

LeBron James, the proud father, has continually praised his son's accomplishments and expressed his desire to play on the same team as Bronny before retiring from the sport. He sees this as an opportunity to bond and share the court with his son, emphasizing that it goes beyond financial considerations.

As the James family continues to navigate through this challenging period, they remain thankful for the support and well-wishes from fans and the basketball community. Updates on Bronny's recovery will be provided when appropriate, but for now, the family is focused on his well-being and privacy.

LeBron James Stays With Lakers, But Pay Cut Rumors Persist

Image
Photo: Instagram/LeBron James On Wednesday morning, it was announced that LeBron James has signed a two-year maximum contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. This deal includes a player option for the second year, effectively allowing LeBron to reassess his future with the team each season. Earlier speculation suggested that LeBron might take a pay cut to help the Lakers add more players through trades or exceptions. However, with this full max contract, the Lakers are now about $1.2 million over the "second apron," a financial threshold that imposes strict limits on team spending and player additions. Sources say the Lakers and LeBron’s team are discussing the possibility of reducing his two-year, $104 million contract to stay under this threshold. Crossing the $188.9 million mark would restrict the Lakers' ability to make trades and add players during the season.

Shaq Disagrees With Shannon Sharpe's Ranking of Wilt Chamberlain

Image
Photo: Instagram/Shaquille O'Neal Shaquille O'Neal doesn't agree with Shannon Sharpe ranking Wilt Chamberlain as the third-best center of all time. On a recent episode of his podcast, Shaq responded to Sharpe's list, which placed Shaq as the third-greatest center. Shaq usually dismisses Sharpe's basketball opinions because Sharpe is a former football player, not a basketball expert. However, Shaq took this ranking seriously and made his case for being ranked ahead of Wilt Chamberlain. Shaq pointed out that while Wilt averaged 50 points per game in a season, he only won two championships. "The ultimate stat you're supposed to look at is championships," Shaq said. He also mentioned how injuries prevented him from surpassing Wilt in total points scored. Photo: Instagram/Shaquille O'Neal Shaq was also surprised that Bill Russell was ranked two places below Wilt despite beating him in two NBA Finals and eliminating him five times in the conference fin
