LeBron James’ legacy is undeniable: he’s one of the best players to ever step into a court and the NBA and basketball overall will miss him once he decides to retire.
Along with all of his impressive accomplishments, James has done something that could hardly be replicated: he’s the only player in the history of the NBA to share minutes on the court with his son, rookie Bronny James.
And LeBron’s youngest son, Bryce, is a rising star on the national spectrum. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California, has commited to play basketball at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Bryce gets fans excited for the future
Bryce James made a lot of people turned their heads after an impressive performance on Thursday when the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers beat the Bishop Alemany Warriors 78-53. LeBron’s youngest son had a team high 18 points, including some spectacular threes and monster dunks that shook heads.
His athleticism and mobility made people compare Bryce to Bronny James and some fans even mentioned the fact that the youngest of the James’ dinasty could even be better than his older brother. “Now that’s LeBron James Jr. right there, no shade to Bronny but Bryce is really him,” one person said.
“He’s not better than Bronny but his ceiling is higher.” another wrote. “LeBron’s royal blood is kicking in both Bryce and Bronny.” stated another social media user. Other people complimented Bryce for showing improvement in the last couple of games and expect the young baller to do great things at Arizona.
Bryce James wants to make a name for himself
The future is bright for Bryce James.He was invited to the USA Basketball under-17 national team training camp over the summer and he’s currently ranked as the No. 30 overall prospect in California and the No. 47 shooting guard nationally by 247 Sports.
Bryce James is the second player in Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd’s 2025 recruiting class, joining five-star prospect Dwayne Aristode.LeBron James’ youngest son will arrive to a team that plays in the Big 12 and that has a lot of room for improvement.
Someone is going to have to fill the void that senior leader Caleb Love leaves when he declares for the NBA Draft this summer. Junior guard Jaden Bradley could be of great help for Bryce’s development if the Rochester, New York native decides to stay another year with Arizona.
