Except, one problem: While LeBron was in Indianapolis for the NBA All-Star Game over the weekend, his son couldn’t get off the bench Saturday night for USC — which at 10-16 overall, 4-11 in the Pac-12 and 103rd in KenPom is one of the most disappointing teams in college basketball. Enfield subbed the younger James in for Collier, a projected lottery pick, late in regulation with USC clinging to a two-point lead. Classic offense-for-defense switch. But Colorado guard K.J. Simpson drove past James anyway, and dumped the ball off for a game-tying dunk with under four seconds left. James at least made a nice inbounds pass to Kobe Johnson that afforded the Trojans a last-second shot — which Johnson missed — but the damage was done. -via The Athletic / February 19, 2024
