United States universities are pursuing LeBron James's 10-year-old son and the NBA superstar is not happy about it.

James said that his son has received scholarship offers from some colleges which have seen the child's talent in basketball, reports Xinhua.

"It's pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn't be recruiting 10-year-old kids. My son is going to be a kid as long as he can be," James said Thursday.

"He loves to play the game of basketball, he loves to play video games, he loves to do his homework, that's all that matters. Everything else doesn't matter. He loves his brother and sister, his dad, his mom, his grandmas, let him be a kid."
