LeBron James is spending some family time with his three children after son Bronny James was released from the hospital following a medical emergency earlier this week.
On Saturday, LeBron James shared an Instagram video of Bronny James, 18, playing the piano as brother Bryce James, 16, and sister Zhuri, 8, looked on. "A man of many talents," LeBron James said following Bronny's performance. Bryce James added that he "could do that," while Zhuri asked, "Can I try?"
"GRAND RISING!! God Is Great! @bronny YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Simple as that!" LeBron James captioned the video. "Keep going Young 🤴🏾!!! We’re here right with you every step of the way!"
Bronny James, a freshman basketball player at the University of Southern California, was hospitalized on Monday after suffering a cardiac event during a workout. He was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center three days later and LeBron James said his family is “safe and healthy" in his first public comments since the incident.

WHAT WE KNOW: Bronny James, cardiac arrest and young athletes
The entire James clan was spotted having dinner together in Santa Monica, Calif., marking the first time Bronny James has been seen in public since his medical emergency on Monday.
According to a statement from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Thursday, Bronny James "arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center fully conscious, neurologically intact and stable" following the cardiac event.
"Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics' medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest," the statement said. "Mr. James was cared for promptly by highly-trained staff and has been discharged home, where he is resting. Although his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for this continued progress and encouraged by his response, resilience and his family and community support."
Lebron James broke his silence on Thursday.
"I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers," he tweeted. "We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us!"
Bronny James is considered a first-round prospect should he continue his basketball career and enter the NBA, and LeBron James has said in the past that, before he retires, he would like to play in the league with his son.
