Portland, Oregon - After USA Basketball released its roster for the 2023 Nike Hoop Summit, basketball legend LeBron James shared a special message for one lucky pick.

Soon to be heading to Portland for the Nike Hoops Summit in April is none other than Bronny James, and the son of Lakers superstar LeBron. And he couldn't be making his dad more proud.

"Yessir!! Congrats Young Bronny!!" the four-time NBA champion tweeted Wednesday morning on his son's Team USA placement.

Despite more high-profile players in his 2023 class, Bronny was seemingly a must-pick, given the public attention the NBA hopeful attracts.

Bronny was selected as one of 13 players that will represent US basketball against Team World in the annual Nike basketball showcase, which highlights elite young talent from around the globe.

Traditionally, the Nike Hoops Summit serves as the first touchpoint for future NBA prospects. Notable alum include NBA greats like Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, and Nikola Jokić.

Team USA currently has nine of the best top-20 high school players on its roster including new college hoop signees Texas forward Ron Holland, USC point guard Isaiah Collier, and Kentucky duo DaJuan Wagner Jr., and Justin Edwards.

While most high school graduating seniors have already made their pledge to college basketball programs, Bronny still has yet to make his big decision.

Most recently, the talented combo guard made headlines for finalizing his top three choices – Ohio State, Oregon, and USC – who are all fighting for the chance to have the son of the NBA's greatest on their roster.

Will Bronny make his bombshell college decision announcement before he suits up in Portland for the Nike Hoop Summit? Only time will tell.

You can catch him at the Nike Hoop Summit showcase on Saturday, April 8 at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
