The tiger father has no dog son, and James's second son was selected for the US men's basketball youth roster and is more talented than Brownie
According to ESPN, LeBron James' 18-year-old son suffered a cardiac arrest while training at college in July and was unfortunately reimbursed for his first season in college.
Still, USC basketball head coach Andy Enfield told the media that the NBA heir is doing well during the recovery.
Enfield said: "Brownie is recovering very optimistically, but we have no comment on medical issues. Brownie is also doing well in school and he will continue to go to class. ”
In August, the James family announced that Brownie had been diagnosed with an "anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect" (SCA), which James' team said was "a condition that can and will be treated."
Still, fan expectations for Brownie to compete with James have dropped to freezing point.
O'Neill's son, Sharif, was gifted enough to dunk easily at the age of 13 and was also plagued by a congenital heart disease that ruined his career.
Because of injury absence, Sharif, the son of the Sharks, was not qualified to participate in the NBA draft, and O'Neal once "took the back door" to stuff Sharif into the 2022 draft list, and Sharif quit the draft in panic after public opinion fermented.
The 2023 draft has long been made by the Venbanyama fanfare, and Sharif has no prospect of waiting any longer.
In desperation, he could only "rely on his father", and Sharif returned to O'Neal's "hometown" Lakers and signed with the Summer League.
James has said more than once that he hopes to play in the NBA with Brownie.
The news that Brownie signed with the esports club has caused many fans to question that it will affect Brownie's basketball career.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated in August 2022, Brownie said, "I was almost born with a love of basketball, so I believe this path has been predetermined. But my dad understood me enough to allow me to choose any path I wanted, even if I decided I didn't want to do basketball anymore. ”
After recovering from injury in 2022, Brownie returned to the game and reached the standard of a five-star rookie in the 247Sports overall ranking.
Now he has been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, which made Brownie's college career even more difficult.
However, James's dream of competing with his son can last a few more years, and his second son Bryce has given everyone hope.
Bryce transferred from Sierra Canyon to Sherman Oaks High School, where Bryce was scouted by multiple NBA teams, including the Lakers during Nike's Peach Jam.
Some basketball analysts believe Bryce may be more talented than his older brother Brownie, who made his debut at Notre Dame Cathedral and James took to social media for his son.
In October, James ushered in good news that the "second prince" may be able to inherit James's basketball career!
The American Basketball Association invited some NBA "royals" to a youth national team camp that began in October. The players on this list, except for the talented "behemoths", are the children of NBA stars, singers or celebrities in politics.
The U.S. men's basketball team announced a roster of 85 people, and the sons of NBA stars such as James, Anthony, and Gilbert Arenas are on the list.
Anthony's son is ranked 36th in the 2025 Sports 2025 overall player rankings and 6th in shooting guard, with predictions ranking higher than James's son.
Anthony's son, similar to James's second son, is not favored because of his short stature, and his expectations now exceed those of Brownie.
Who is everyone more optimistic about?
