Bronny James has managed to do something indirectly that even the NBA has been unable to do so far. As most basketball fans should be aware by now, Bronny is NBA star LeBron James’ eldest son and expected by many to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the NBA. He recently made his college debut for the USC Trojans.
Since Bronny had undergone surgery following a Cardiac arrest, fans were not sure what shape he would be in for his team. Fans who watch college basketball games in the United States will know that they are given a fair share of attention from the media and basketball community.
Be that as it may, no one would assume that a college basketball game can surpass a prominent NBA game. Considering that this could confuse fans, a deeper look is required.
Ticket prices for Bronny James’ USC debut are higher than that of NBA all-star games
It turns out that Bronny James’ presence for the match between the USC Trojans and Long Beach State had incredibly expensive ticket prices. While one might have foreseen this given LeBron James’ impact and legacy, reports reveal that the most expensive of Bronny’s USC debut tickets surpassed the price of the 2024 NBA All-Star game tickets.

Since the NBA all-star games are opportunities for fans to watch the best players in the league on the same court, it is quite shocking to realize that a college basketball game’s tickets are more expensive when compared to the upcoming all-star game.
One might argue that the fans didn’t get to see enough of Bronny at his USC debut. Those who watched the game will know that he finished the night with 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in 17 minutes of playing time.
While this is certainly a quiet performance given the expectations on Bronny’s shoulders, fans should remember that he is finally making his return to the court following a serious medical scare and will undoubtedly need time to get back to form. Members of the basketball community are left wondering if the tickets for the future Bronny James games will also be significantly more expensive than expected.
