USC freshman guard Bronny James was greeted with jeers of "overrated" and "Who's your daddy?" by the UCLA crowd when he checked in at the scorer's table.

James entered at the 13:31 mark in the first half when the Trojans were up 10-7.

He contributed two points, one rebound and two assists.

The game is a rematch of the Jan. 27 showdown where UCLA outclassed USC 65-50. The son of NBA great LeBron James played 15 minutes off the bench and produced two points, four rebounds and one block in 13 minutes of action. He was 0-of-3 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line.

Bronny James picks USC over UCLA

James picked USC over UCLA, Ohio State and Oregon as his school of choice this season.

The 19-year-old joined the program that has made the previous NCAA tournaments and won 20+ games in seven of the last eight years under coach Andy Enfield. The school can help him prepare for the NBA Draft after the 2023-24 basketball season closes.

The 6-foot-4 guard has struggled to live up to expectations. In 18 games, James has produced pedestrian numbers, averaging 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.8 steals. He has made 36.5% of his shots from the field, including 27.5% from the 3-point line.

LeBron James has made clear his wish to play with his son. LeBron has a $51.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season but reports suggest he could decline it and become an unrestricted free agent if an NBA team other than the Los Angeles Lakers picks his son in the draft.

After the UCLA game, the Trojans (10-16, 4-11 in Pac-12) will have four more games against Washington State, Washington, Arizona State and No. 4 Arizona.
