00:18 Not a mini talent.
00:20 Go ahead, I can do that.
00:21 LeBron James is proud of his son.
00:24 The NBA star took to Instagram to share a video of Bronny James playing the piano for his family just days after he suffered a cardiac arrest.
00:33 "Grand Rising. God is great. @Bronny you are amazing. Simple as that. Keep going young. We're here right with you every step of the way. #JamesGang."
00:45 Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at USC on Monday.
00:50 The 18-year-old was rushed to the hospital where he was treated in the ICU before being released to general care.
00:56 He was later discharged from the medical center on Thursday.
00:59 Bronny recently committed to the University of Southern California to play basketball and is expected to follow in his dad's NBA footsteps.
01:07 LeBron has said in the past that he won't retire from the NBA until he gets to play with his son.
01:13 Texas Hollywood recently chatted with some of LeBron's lifelong friends and they all reacted to rumors of his retirement.
01:20 LeBron retiring. Never gonna happen, right?
01:23 Not now. In my opinion. In my opinion, I don't think he's retiring this year.
01:29 You know what? I hate to say this and I hope not, but I think it is really on his mind.
01:36 And I think he's really doing some soul searching. He's been giving so much to this game for so long.
01:43 And I never thought I'd see the day where it's happening. He's been playing at such a high level for so long.
01:49 But I think he is really considering, you know, maybe in the next, who knows?
01:55 I think he is thinking about it.
01:57 Well, he certainly left it all on the court.
01:59 Yeah, I mean, I guess that's part of the circle coming full circle.
02:04 Whatever you want to say that. But just even considering and having a conversation, man, he's been a part of basketball for so long.
02:12 You know what I mean? It's hard to think, you know, we will ever turn the TV on and he not be a part of a commercial or coming on the primetime game or something like that.
02:22 It's just been a part of our life for so long. But you got to do what's best for you.
02:26 Any thoughts? He's considering it. Do I think it's going to happen this year?
02:30 No. But when you when you get this far in your career, it's a natural, it's a natural occurrence.
02:37 Right. You know, he knows that he can only play for so long.
02:41 So now you start thinking about when that when that time is and it's hard to keep up greatness.
02:49 Yeah, it's hard to do it day in, day out.
02:52 And, you know, those are some of the things you start thinking about.
02:56 Do I really want to keep waking up at five and get all these work games, workouts in and all the rehab and everything that need that I need to do to just get ready to play?
03:06 I injure myself sleeping these days. So he's doing really well.
03:09 Careful. Will he talk to your dad before he makes any big decisions?
03:13 Good question. I'm not sure.
03:18 I'm not sure who he's going to lean on. I think it's going to be a very personal decision for him.
03:23 I think he's going to know what he truly wants.
03:26 And I believe that's going to be between him and his family more than anything.
03:31 Well, I can say this is a winning thing. This friendship is what matters in life.
03:35 And I think it means more to every LeBron and everybody.
03:39 What a great thing that you guys have together. I hope all our kids get this.
