In addition to participating in a Nike EYBL game, the four-time NBA champion was seen on camera giving his 16-year-old son Bryce, a player on the Strive For Greatness team led by James and former teammate Rajon Rondo, instructions from the sidelines.

 

 

In Peach Jam, the Nike EYBL spring and summer league championship tournament held in Augusta, Georgia, they were matched up against New Heights Lightning. Known as the best high school basketball competition in the country, teams with well-known players like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and Bradley Beal participate in the event.

 

 

James was so happy that he was seen wildly pumping his fist from the sidelines when his team battled back from a 10-point hole to force extra. Brayden Burries scored 27 points to help Strive for Greatness win under James’ coaching. There has been one loss and two wins for the team thus far in the competition.

 

 

They won the first game 78-69 against the Expressions, lost the rematch on Wednesday 72-67 against the Florida Rebels, and then prevailed over the Lightning in overtime.

 

Following in the footsteps of James, who has also chosen to pursue a basketball career, Bryce is apparently ready to move from Sierra Canyon to Campbell Hall after earning his first Division I offer from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Sixteen is Bryce’s age. Bronny James will be a member of the USC team for the following season and is largely regarded as the top pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

 

 

Among the famous athletes’ sons Bryce is set to perform with are Baron Bellamy, comedian Bill Bellamy’s son, and Richard Hamilton II, former NBA great Richard Hamilton’s son. Chief coach David Grace of Campbell Hall is thrilled about the opportunity to help Bryce further his basketball career.

 

 

Grace stated to ESPN, “If I have the chance to coach Bryce, I want him to be Bryce.” I want him to grow and get the most out of his time at Campbell Hall because that makes him special. I will try my best to help, but it will take much more than just me to help him. I get some sense of the viewpoint he’s talking from. I’m not who I think I am.

 

 

“In that area will I develop professionally as a coach? My family did not receive the same level of attention, but I have been in a similar situation and can relate my own experiences or at least empathize with his.”

 

Byrce’s older brother, Bronny James, will wear number six, as his father did, at the University of Southern California (USC).

 

James might declare for the NBA Draft the following year, hoping that the sixth overall pick works in his favor. After attending Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles for four years, James decided to attend USC to continue his athletic career while still being near his family.

 

“One of the greatest days of my life,” said LeBron James after learning that his son had been accepted to USC for the upcoming season. “He is my family’s first college student, so I could not afford to lose today, no matter how the game turned out.”
