Over the past couple of seasons, we have seen Lakers’ superstar LeBron James spend his offseason a number of ways. Last year, he took part in numerous Drew League and Pro-Am games to remain in competitive mode and also allow the basketball community to watch him play in matches outside of just the normal NBA ones.
However, we all know just how much seeing his children succeed means to James and with both of his sons (Bronny and Bryce) making a name for themselves in the basketball world, his vision is coming true. Bronny already completed his senior year at Sierra Canyon and will suit up for the USC Trojans next season but Bryce will barely be a sophomore next year.
Reportedly standing at 6’6 after a big growth spurt, Bryce’s potential is through the roof. He is much lankier than his older brother and he certainly looks for his own shot majority of the time when he is on the court. He has continued to suit up for LeBron’s own AAU/EYBL squad ‘Strive For Greatness’ this summer before high school hoops kick off again and he was already making noise in his first few games of Nike’s annual Peach Jam.
But with the Lakers’ season being over right now and a bunch of free agency moves in the rearview mirror, LeBron decided to use some of his spare time to not just watch his youngest son play in the Peach Jam but to actually coach him and the rest of the team.
This is really what it is all about at the end of the day, giving back to the basketball community and making sure that you help the next generation of hooper. James has made it clear that he longs to play at least one season with Bronny in the NBA but will support him no matter where he goes.
It’s great to know that Bronny will be playing at USC and Bryce will be continuing his high school career at Campbell Hall High School, both close enough to The King to where he’ll be able to drop by and watch them play.
No matter how big LeBron James’ name is, seeing his sons play basketball and helping them grow remain at the op of his priorities.
