Lebron James Jr. To Attend Crossroads In Santa Monica: Reports

SANTA MONICA, CA – Lebron James Jr. will be attending Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences in Santa Monica for eighth grade, according to reports. The 13-year-old son of basketball star Lebron James, whose nickname is "Bronny," has enrolled to start school this year, TMZ reported.

The teen is one of the best young basketball players in the country, and although he's not eligible to play for the varsity basketball team at Crossroads yet, he'll likely join the school's middle school basketball team this upcoming school year, the website reported.

After Lebron James signed a four-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers last month, many thought his son would go to Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles, where the son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen attends, according to Sports Illustrated.

However, Crossroads has produced plenty of star power as well. Shaquille O'Neal's son Shareef led the school's basketball team to a state Division II title, Los Angeles Times reported. Two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis also attended Crossroads.

Crossroads' basketball head coach Anthony Davis received rave reviews his rookie season, Los Angeles Times reported. The coach told the newspaper he had received more than 20 text messages when he woke up Monday morning, and although he can't confirm if Bronny is enrolled, he's excited by the prospect.

“I had 10 calls and thought, ‘Something is going on,’” he said. “If I have that opportunity [to coach Lebron James Jr.], it will be very exciting and challenging,” he told the newspaper.

Jonah Hill, Michael Bay and Kate Hudson also attended Crossroads, Sports Illustrated reported.
