Bronny James just made his college basketball debut … and his dad, LeBron, had a front-row seat for the special moment.
The 19-year-old USC hooper entered Sunday’s home contest against Long Beach State around the 13-minute mark in the first half … and the Galen Center erupted as James stepped onto the court.

Of course, the former Sierra Canyon standout’s college career was put on hold after he suffered cardiac arrest during a workout back in July … but as we previously reported, he was given the green light late last week to finally suit up for games.
LeBron — who vowed not to miss Bronny’s first game, even if it conflicted with his Lakers schedule — held up to his promise … getting a courtside seat and documenting his son’s entrance on his iPhone.
He also said following the Lakers’ In-Season Tournament championship win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday he was looking forward to being in L.A. for the game … so we take it it was one helluva weekend for the James Gang.
The Galen Center is filled to the brim with fans lucky enough to catch Bronny in action … and through the first half, he’s logged a rebound, an assist and a block that would make his pops proud.
