LeBron James
shared a video of eldest son Bronny James playing the piano on Saturday, five
days after the teenager suffered a cardiac arrest during practice with his
college team.
The video
posted on Instagram by NBA superstar James showed 18-year-old Bronny playing on
the piano with younger brother Bryce and sister Zhuri watching nearby.
"A man
of many talents," LeBron James can be heard to say after the brief
performance.
In a caption
accompanying the video, James wrote: "(Bronny) you are amazing!!! Simple
as that! Keep going...We're here right with you every step of the way."
Meanwhile
separate photographs published by the TMZ.com celebrity news website on
Saturday showed LeBron James, Bronny James and the rest of the family heading
out for dinner in Santa Monica, California on Friday.
Bronny James
was rushed to hospital on Monday after collapsing during a pre-season training
session with the University of Southern California basketball team.
Cedars Sinai
Medical Center staff said on Thursday the teenager had been discharged from
hospital and was now resting at home.
"Although
his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are
encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community
support," the hospital said in a statement.
According to
the American Heart Association, only about 1 in 10 people survive an
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which occurs when the heart stops abruptly with
little or no warning.
James'
cardiac arrest came just over a year after another USC basketball player, Vince
Iwuchukwu, suffered heart failure and collapsed during an informal practice.
Iwuchukwu subsequently made a full recovery.
Bronny James
committed to playing for the USC Trojans in May after becoming one of the top
prospects in US high school basketball.
He capped a
stellar senior year campaign at the exclusive Sierra Canyon school in Los
Angeles with 15 points in an all-star game of top college candidates, sinking
five 3-pointers.
