Bronny James has been in the spotlight for a while since he was named after his NBA father, LeBron James. His high school career was closely watched, just like his father's, and after he scored deals with companies his father is associated with, such as Nike and Beats By Dre, Bronny decided to take up the same sport and wear the same number his father currently wears, No. 6.
In May 2023, Bronny announced he would be attending the University of Southern California, and USC posted a photo of him in his uniform with the No. 8. A few days later, a tweet from the USC Men's Basketball team revealed that Bronny would be wearing the No. 6.
Sports Illustrated reported the meaning LeBron gave for wearing the number six. LeBron wore No. 23 for the Cavaliers because of his love for his idol Micheal Jordan who wore that number for the Chicago Bulls. But when he joined the Miami Heat in 2010-11, he switched to No. 6.
"Why I wear number six, there's multiple reasons," LeBron said, "One, because 23 is one of my favorite numbers as well, so two times three is six. Also, my first son was born on October 6. My youngest son [Bryce] is June 14th, the sixth month of the year. Six has always been with me ever since I was a kid for some reason, especially when it relates to my family."
Bronny is a 6-foot-3 guard who played basketball for Sierra Canyon School in California and is considered one of the top guards in the country based on ESPN's 100, placing him at No. 19 for the class of 2023.
Shortly after Bronny committed to USC, another NBA legend's son, DJ Rodman, the son of Dennis Rodman, announced he would also be joining the basketball team at USC. This made for an exciting announcement and an interesting future for the USC basketball team.
