During his post-game media appearances, LeBron James appeared slightly more preoccupied than normal as he attempted to watch his son Bronny play Arizona at the same time.
James’s refusal to give scrum reporters in the tunnel his entire attention was initially revealed when he told them he had to go see Bronny. Even though James did his duty as a reporter, he frequently ignored the reporters in favor of the screen that displayed the USC game.
But when a reporter asked him if it was harder to lose with the Lakers or to see Bronny and USC struggle, he narrowed his emphasis a little. It’s difficult to watch college basketball alone. When my son gets involved, it gets even harder to watch because I’m… It’s difficult to watch. Yes, I am a father, but I also adore basketball, especially college basketball, since there are so many players in the paint at once. Sometimes it’s really difficult to watch. However, you have a decent chance to witness some excellent basketball in this game because both USC and Arizona are excellent programs,” James remarked.

The Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks in a key game to get back to a.500 record. James finished the game with a 25/8/8 score, and D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Davis both scored more than 25 points. With four victories in their last six games, Lakers supporters are hoping that their miserable post-IST run is finally coming to an end. The team’s next game is on January 19 against the Nets.
But Bronny and the Trojans had not been so lucky. The younger James performed admirably, but the No. 12 Wildcats outperformed him when Kevin Durant was on the court. USC fell to 8-10 after the 82-67 setback, their third straight defeat. The Trojans began conference play with a 2-5 record and are currently ranked second-to-last in the Pac-12. Durant was impressed by Bronny’s 11/5/6 in spite of this. “He was combative. The Suns player stated, “He performed well. James played aggressively, but it cost him since he made five turnovers. The Trojans’ next opponent is Arizona State, who are 10-7 (4-2 Pac-12).
