　　Browne said he has experienced ups and downs over the past year, both good and bad, and they have helped him grow.

　　As Browne said, his freshman year was indeed not easy for him. In July last year, Browne suddenly collapsed due to cardiac arrest during a training session and was taken to the hospital. After several months of recuperation, it was not until December that he received doctor's approval to return to the game.

　　Bronny was born in 2004 and is LeBron's eldest son. Carrying the name "James", Bronny, who has been exposed to basketball since he was a child, has high hopes from the outside world, and people expect him to inherit his father's legacy and have never stopped talking about it.

　　In 2003, LeBron James was selected with the first overall pick in the first round by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and entered the NBA as the No. 1 overall pick. Now 21 years later, he has been crowned the NBA's historical scoring champion and is still active on the court. LeBron once said that he hopes to compete with his son in the NBA. This is his dream.

　　But Brownie’s path to growth has not been smooth sailing. In the past few years, Bronny's prospects of landing in the NBA were once looked down upon due to reasons such as not being as talented as his father in all aspects and injuries. But through hard work, he made everything turn around.

　　In May of last year, Browne announced that he would join the University of Southern California. James, who was leading the Lakers to the playoffs at the time, said that Bronny was the first college student in his family and he was proud of his son.

　　James has invested a lot in Bronny. It is not uncommon for him to watch his son's games live, and he will even personally direct the game to provide tactical guidance for Bronny's team.

　　However, due to his illness, according to media statistics, Browne only made 6 starts as a freshman, averaging 19.4 minutes per game, 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists, while shooting only 36.6% from the field. Some experts said they are not optimistic about Brownie's draft prospects this year.

　　While announcing his participation in the NBA draft, Browne also stated that he would retain the eligibility to return to college and enter the transfer market. He also expressed his gratitude: "Thanks to the University of Southern California for allowing me to have a wonderful freshman year, as well as the support from my family, friends, doctors, coaches and fans."
