Despite his foot injury, LeBron James made it to his son Bronny’s playoff game on Thursday night and was extremely grateful that he did, as he got to witness his son’s outstanding performance in an exciting game.
Bronny, along with his Sierra Canyon team, faced off against Etiwanda in a CIF State regional quarterfinal game held in Chatsworth, California, where the young guard put on an impressive display—despite being only 6-foot-3, Bronny, who was selected as McDonald’s All-American Game player, scored 21 points with shots from various spots on the court. He even had the opportunity to showcase his dunking skills in front of his father, who was in attendance.
LeBron James, despite wearing a large walking boot to protect his injured foot, was present and enthusiastic at the game, cheering on his son and the Sierra Canyon team.
Thanks to Bronny’s outstanding performance, the Trailblazers secured a crucial 61-55 victory, much to LeBron’s delight. After the game, LeBron expressed his happiness about the team’s win.
What was LeBron’s reaction to his son’s performance?
“Bronny you were SPECIAL tonight kid!!” James said via Twitter. “Keep going! AlwaysProudDad”

Fortunately for LeBron, the Lakers do not have a game scheduled for that day, so he will likely be present at the game to support his son and the team once again.
In the end, it was a night that Bronny James will surely never forget. The young guard displayed his skills in front of his father, LeBron James, and a packed crowd, leading his team to a hard-fought victory in the CIF State regional quarterfinals. LeBron James has always been explicitly supporting his son.
With every shot, every pass, and every dunk, Bronny proved that he is a unique talent in his own right. As he left the court, he received the ultimate praise from his dad, who told him. With his father’s support and guidance, there’s no telling how far Bronny will go in the game of basketball.
