Bronny James is STOPPED from giving details about when he will make his college decision
Bronny James has STOPPED giving details of when he will have his college decision made by a publicist as she steps in just as he is about to answer what all basketball fans want to know
Bronny James was seemingly about to shed light on his impending basketball decisions before a PR rep stepped in and stopped the answer.
James spoke to reporters ahead of Saturday’s Nike Summit game for USA Basketball in a showcase against the best players in the world age 19 or under.
A female reporter asked James if he had been recruited by Jackson Shelstad and others from Oregon while he was in Portland for the game.
“These are fun times,” he said with a big smile on his face.
“It’s good to know they want me there, but at the end of the day it’s my decision and I have to make the right one for me.”

She then followed up with a question about when he might make a decision about his future.
As James prepared to answer, the PR rep took over and stopped any discussion of the future of one LeBron James Jr.
“I think we can move on to questions about US Basketball and the Hoop Summit,” she said.
James has yet to publicly commit to a plan for his team for next season after finishing his high school career at Sierra Canyon. He will graduate in the spring.
Ranked 33rd nationally in the class of 2023, per 24/7 sport, James could take the traditional route and go to college, or follow in LaMelo Ball’s footsteps and play abroad.
His father, LaVar, encouraged James II to move down to facilitate his basketball growth.
According to The Oregonian, James narrowed his college options down to a “top five or six,” which includes the Ohio State Buckeyes, plus Oregon and USC.
LeBron James hyped his son last month after Sierra Canyon advanced to the finals of the 2023 California Interscholastic Federation State Championships, stating that he was already better than some NBA players.

A Laker since 2018, James has expressed interest in playing with Bronny, who could be drafted by an NBA team as early as 2024.
“My senior year will be played with my son,” said James Sr. in February against The Athletic. “Wherever Bronny is, that’s where I’ll be.
“I would do anything to play with my son for a year. It’s not about the money at that point.’
