The hoop enthusiasts are convinced that NBA legend LeBron James’ younger son, Bryce James, has inherited his basketball skills. A recent video of the 17-year-old’s dunk has lit fire on the internet.
Bryce takes his high school, Sierra Canyon, era very seriously to shape his future. That can be spotted in the clip where he posterizes an opponent. The video could be short but enough to see his skills. Junior James jumped over the opponent and dunked the shot remarkably through the rim with his left hand.
Hoop Central posted the clip on X (FKA Twitter), which took no time to go viral. On viewing it, the basketball community went gaga over the youngster’s talent. Here’s what some of them commented on the post:
“Dad genes slowly sneaking in”, wrote a fan.
While another fan declared, “This is the future! 🔥🔥”

Impressed with Bryce’s layup, someone commented, “Wow that guy can jump super high.”
“Better than Bronny”, added one fan. Considering that his elder brother, Bronny, has walked the same path and will soon be ready for the 2024 NBA Draft, the comparison is unsurprising.
A fan believes Bryce is “NBA ready,” though he still has some time left to start his NBA journey if he does.
Someone wrote, “Yeah I think Bryce is the more naturally gifted one. He’s gonna be a problem.”
Bryce is taking little steps toward the path his father paved years ago, and LeBron couldn’t be prouder of his son.
LeBron James Reacts to Bryce James’ Super Play
Lakers superstar LeBron James has always acknowledged talent and expressed his thoughts on it. He did the same with his son, Bryce.
Being an active social media user, the 39-year-old shared the viral video on his Instagram story. LeBron used a string of pumped-up emojis to describe his pride.
The 20-time All-Star’s wife, Savannah James, also shared Bryce’s clip on her IG story with the caption, “Sheesh!!! Calm down @justbryce.”
The way things are moving in the James family, it won’t be late when Bryce catches up with his father on the hardwood. Bron’s sons might not have the same humongous talent that he possessed or still possesses, but that’s the funny thing about the future, as it cannot be predicted so early.
