Bronny James entering the transfer portal — good or bad look?



Despite the hype surrounding the women’s college basketball Final Four and the men’s Final Four — something else has been dominating the headlines.

Bronny James, son of NBA star LeBron James, is entering the transfer portal to potentially leave USC.

Steve Kim doesn’t believe this is good for LeBron.

“I don’t think it’s a great look for LeBron,” Kim tells Whitlock. “He’s the one who talked about wanting his son to be a teammate in the NBA. That’s on him. He’s the one who made a little bit of a racket when he got moved out of a mock draft, by the way.”

“So, he put unnecessary or extra pressure on his own son, that’s not on anyone else but him,” Kim says.

Whitlock agrees that it’s a bad look but for a different reason.

“LeBron’s NBA career has been defined by, ‘Oh, I got a problem, let me leave and go someplace else,’” Whitlock says. “And that mindset is now dominating basketball, and so here’s his son, one season at USC, they stick by him, he has cardiac arrest issues, he gets through the season.”

Whitlock believes this means Bronny is following in LeBron’s footsteps — leaving as soon as there’s a problem instead of sticking it out.

“You don’t quit. You stick it out. You gut it out. That whole mentality is gone,” Whitlock says, adding, “LeBron, I don’t think he started it, but I think he’s the face of it, that you can quit anytime, that’s no problem.”

Probable cause of Bronny James' cardiac arrest episode said to be a 'Congenital Heart Defect'



A congenital heart defect has been named as the probable cause behind the sudden cardiac arrest that Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, suffered earlier this year.

"After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James' sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified. It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated," a James family spokesperson noted in a statement.

"We are very confident in Bronny's full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future. We will continue to provide updates to media and respectfully reiterate the family’s request for privacy," the statement added.

The 18-year-old experienced cardiac arrest while practicing, a statement from a family spokesperson noted last month.

The young man is slated to play basketball for USC. But he has his sights set on the NBA, according to LeBron James. James, who holds the NBA record for most points scored, has said that before he retires he would like to play in the NBA with Bronny.

Tori Kelly & Bronny James: Why are young stars collapsing?



There has been a disturbing trend surfacing in the news lately.

Young stars like LeBron James’ son, who recently suffered a cardiac arrest, have been collapsing despite otherwise being extraordinarily healthy.

Allie Beth Stuckey is worried and thinks we may need to be asking some questions — but believes we also shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions.

“For people to come to an immediate conclusion — that it has to be because of the vaccine, because of political reasons, because that’s expedient for you to get clicks or whatever — I don’t like that, because we really don’t know,” Stuckey says.

“It could be because of mRNA, or it may not be. Either way, it’s pretty scary,” she adds.

Bronny James plays basketball for the University of Southern California and suffered a cardiac arrest during a workout. Luckily, he is now in stable condition and no longer in the ICU.

Even Elon Musk has come out of the woodwork to comment on what’s going on with young athletes suddenly collapsing.

“We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing. Myocarditis is a known side-effect. The only question is whether it is rare or common,” the CEO of Twitter, now X, tweeted.

LeBron’s son is not the only one who has been in the news lately. Two-time Grammy winner Tori Kelly is being treated for blood clots in her lungs and legs after being rushed to a hospital on Sunday after collapsing.

Stuckey believes that ascribing everything to the vaccine, while it has been a major change in our society recently, is not the way to go about this.

“That can’t be our automatic reaction every time, our automatic assumption, because we live in a fallen world. There are a lot of things that can wreck our health, tiny microbes, things that we don’t even know. There are a lot of factors that go on in people’s lives that we just, we don’t know about,” she says.
