The NBA world was shell-shocked on Tuesday. LeBron James’ family’s spokesperson broke the news to the world that Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during practice. The news spread like wildfire and prayers and messages poured in from all directions, from sporting legends and fans. Thankfully, the announcement also clarified that the 19-year-old rising star was stable. Hours after the announcement, James’ youngest took to social media with a special post.

Over the last few months, Bronny had an impressive stint with his high school team. Even though he didn’t win big with Sierra Canyon, he led the team to the regional finals. Then he took the hoops community by storm when he signed with USC for collegiate basketball. While fans considered Bronny to be the biggest prospect in the next NBA Draft, unfortunately, he has suffered a cardiac arrest.

LeBron James’ younger son Bryce shared a special post for his brother

According to the statement, Bronny James suffered cardiac arrest during practice on Monday and he was stable and out of ICU on Tuesday. However, fans didn’t have a sign of this horrific news, as hours before the statement, LeBron James had hilariously tweeted about Kylian Mbappe’s whopping deal. But once the news broke, fans swarmed social media, sending their prayers for the rising star’s speedy recovery.

Furthermore, James’ 16-year-old younger son, Bryce James, took to his Instagram story and shared a special picture for his brother. He shared a picture of them walking on the streets, which seemed like Japan.

The picture also carried a caption that read, “Good Looks.”

Currently, Bryce plays for Bronny’s former high school, Sierra Canyon, and he has also been showing promising signs as a basketball prodigy. Father James often shared video clips of his younger son’s balling prowess.

However, on the other hand, the very fact that an athlete suffered a cardiac arrest shook the common public. Especially when there are instances of similar tragedies.

Why do athletes suffer cardiac arrests?

While it is uncommon for athletes to suffer heart dysfunction, it sure does occur under rare circumstances.

Notably, another freshman from USC, Vince Iwuchukwu, also suffered the same tragedy during informal practice. In fact, Shaquille O’Neal‘s son Shareef O’Neal also had open heart surgery.

There aren’t any scientific reasons yet to back the frequent heart problems among athletes but the doctors recommended that teams should be prepared with the necessary equipment.

On a positive note, Bronny has been responding well and has recovered from the tragedy. The James family will provide further official announcements.
