After the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs, LeBron, 38, said in apost-game press conferencethat his son picked “a great university.”
“I’m proud of him. This is an incredible thing,” he continued. “Unless it was one of my great-grandmothers or great-grandfathers or someone way before my time, to my knowledge this is the first one out of the James Gang to go to college.”
LeBron added, “Obviously,his dad didn’t go to school. His mom didn’t go to college. My mom maybe stepped on campus for a little bit, maybe a community college or something, but she had [me] running around, so she couldn’t spend much time in the classroom.”
“It’s very, very, very, very exciting, very humbling and a great moment for our family,” he said.
