“Oregon is the Nike school with the headquarters two hours away and founder Phil Knight as the most famous alumnus, providing Nike’s latest gear for all student-athletes. Right now, Oregon coach Dana Altman has commitments from four-star wing Mookie Cook (who actually plays LeBron James in an upcoming movie), guard Jackson Shelstad and five-star K.J. Evans.
‘[Bronny] told me he likes Oregon, and I want him to visit there,’ Evans told Yahoo Sports. ‘Everyone that’s coming in is unselfish. We all cut, move and don’t hold the ball too long, so it’s going to benefit him. Bronny can be more of a playmaker and a shot creator, and I think we would play really well together.'”
LeBron has openly admitted that he intends to play alongside Bronny in the NBA. He even claimed that he’s willing to signa one-year contract at the veteran minimum to fulfill that dream.
So, regardless of how Bronny’s college basketball career pans out, he’s all but guaranteed to make it to the league, as multiple teams will love to have James in the final year of his career, even if it’s on a one-year rental.
