Bronny James will honor his dad, LeBron James, during his freshman year on the USC Trojans hoops team this fall … wearing jersey number 6, the same number as his pops.
The University of Southern California confirmed the jersey number news on Thursday, sharing a photo of Bronny in the cardinal and gold threads.
Remember, the former Sierra Canyon star wore 0 during his high school career, explaining it was a tribute to his favorite NBA player, and his dad’s former teammate, Russell Westbrook.
Bronny also previously wore #23 in honor of his dad.
Of course, King James first wore #6 in Miami in 2012, before ultimately switching back to 23, and then returning to 6, which he now wears for the Lakers.
But, Bron isn’t the first great player to rock the digit … Julius Erving, Ben Wallace, and Bill Russell also wore the number. In fact, the NBA retired #6 leaguewide after Russell passed away last July, a way of honoring the 11-time champ.
With that said, Bronny’s gonna have to pick a different number if he goes pro!
