What comes to mind when one thinks of a player purposely built to play in the NBA? Probably LeBron James. With a 6’9” frame, otherworldly athleticism and elite basketball IQ, King James is a formidable foe for anybody in the league. Therefore, it comes as no surprise when Bryce James, LeBron’s youngest son, left fans in awe of his recent performance.

Recently, Bryce James’ Strive for Greatness side faced off against the Oakland Soldiers in a thrilling match. Bryce guided his team to a narrow 75-73 victory against the Soldiers, a team featuring AJ Dybantsa, the No.1 rated high school prospect. The official Instagram account of Ballislife posted the highlights of Bryce’s battle with Dybantsa. The quality and talent shown by the teenagers thrilled fans. However, what really grabbed attention was Bryce’s height, which seemed on par with Dybantsa’s.

According to 24/7 Sports, AJ Dybantsa’s height is 6’9”. Meanwhile, Bryce James is listed at a height of 6’6″. This has led many fans to speculate that he has hit another growth spurt. One fan even commented, “Bryce 6’8??” Another fan wrote, “bro how tall is bryce aj like 6’7.” However, some fans beg to differ. One social media user commented, “bro he is not 6’6 ,” followed by a skull emoji. So how tall is Bryce, actually?

What is Bryce James’ height?

As per Google, Bryce is listed to be 1.96 meters tall. When converted, it turns out to be 6 feet 43 inches. With this, some fans speculate that Bryce has actually outgrown his brother Bronny, who is also 6’4″. In just one summer, Bryce’s height has increased by more than 4 inches. He is now stated to be approximately 6 feet 6 inches.

Bryce is currently 16-years-old, and he’s significantly on-par with his father LeBron James’ height progression as well. Back in 2001, when he was 16, LeBron’s officially recorded height was 6’7″ or 2.01 meters. In the subsequent years, LeBron has grown by two inches to approximately 6’9″.

Therefore, if LeBron’s height progression is anything to go by, then Bryce would comfortably grow taller than the NBA average. During the 2022-23 season, the average height within the NBA was about 6’6″ or 198.6 cm tall. This bodes well for Bryce James’ NBA prospects because the league is slowly transitioning towards taller players after an era dominated by guards. However, can Bryce take advantage of his growth spurt? Let us know in the comments below!
