After Bryce James earned his initiation match at the 2023 Strive for Greatness Nike EYBL Basketball Tournament of Peach Jam, LeBron James was filled to the brim with pride. The “L-Train” has two young, athletic lads as his children, and both of them aspire to be hoopers like their ultra-famous father.
James, a basketball prodigy who has gained local stardom since elementary school, was once dubbed Mr. Basketball of Ohio in his youth. LeBron James is excited to watch Bryce James make his Peach Jam debut as he battles it out in a gladiatorial arena of sorts.
Bryce James’ performance impressed LeBron James
Highlights of Bryce’s Monday Peach Jam performance were released by LeBron. The young gun demonstrated why a few scouts think he might outperform his elder sibling Bronny, who will play for the University of Southern California in the upcoming season. In SFG’s 78-69 victory over Expressions, Bryce was one of the squad’s leading performers.

As his second son made his Peach Jam debut, James had a single word in response: “MAXIMUS!!!!” In 29 minutes, Bryce James scored 12 points and two rebounds as Strive For Greatness defeated Expressions 78-69. Bryce made 4-of-9 field-goal attempts, including 2-of-6 from long distance. Scoring 20 points, two steals, and three assists, Brayden Burries was SFG’s top scorer.
Tee Bartlett ended second with 11 rebounds and 18 points. Unrelated to ‘King’ James and Bryce, Nigel James led Expressions with 22 points, six rebounds, two steals, and four assists. Also, on July 6 and July 7, they will play Mokan Elite and NH Lightning, respectively. At Peach Jam, it will be interesting to watch if Bryce keeps up his strong performance making his papa even prouder.
How old was LeBron when he had Bryce?
On 14th June 2007, Bryce Maximus James was born in the midst of his father’s first NBA Finals participation. When LeBron had his second child, just before Game 4 of the 2007 NBA Finals, he was 22 years old. Whereas, LeBron James had his first child Bronny with his longtime girlfriend and now wife Savannah Brinson when he was just 19 years old.
LeBron James has always been a loving father who supports his children as they try to forge their own paths. He himself did not get the chance to experience this as a young Basketball aspirant. His own dad, Anthony McClelland, was absent from his life a lot and had a lengthy criminal backdrop.
Recently both Bryce and Bronny shared their respect and love for their father through their respective social media posts on Father’s Day. Ultimately, this shows how proud, devoted, and supportive LeBron James is of his kids while they pursue their own basketball careers.
