Given that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar himself began his professional career right after high school, fans are curious as to what Bronny’s next move would be. Given that Bronny is just a few weeks away from graduating, the question remains if Bronny would follow his dad’s path or decide to complete college first.

Bronny James played his last game for the Sierra Canyon earlier this month. The team went up against Sherman Oaks and suffered an 80-61 loss.

“If you want to play basketball and you really that dude, why am I sitting in class trying to pass a chemistry test? I don?t wanna play no chemistry. I don’t wanna practice no Spanish. No! I wanna wake up, go practice, go back to sleep, go practice, have a game, practice. That?s all I wanna do.”

While Bronny is yet to make his decision, it is reported that he already has multiple offers from several reputable universities including Kentucky, Oregon, USC, and Ohio State.
