LeBron James seemed worried about the negative influence that Bryce James had to go through. Following Bronny, the superstar’s youngest son recently revealed his commitment to the University of Arizona. We can witness the 17-year-old’s explosive game in the Wildcats threads. Amid this situation, the Lakers superstar expressed his concern about the friends his son might make during his time at the Copper State.

Following the win against the Trail Blazers, Bron interacted with the reporters in the locker room. At that time, a reporter dropped a warm-down easy question, asking about Ohio State Buckeyes’ latest win over the Oregon Ducks and his son’s latest college signing. James Sr., being playful as he has always been, pretended as if he didn’t hear the question about Ohio State, and asked the reporter to repeat the question, while he wore the Buckeyes’ hat from his bag, leaving the rest of the room in splits.

Following that, the reporter asked how he felt about Bryce’s decision. LeBron James said, “It was his decision to make. He went where he felt comfortable.” 

He also credited James Jr.’s coach for helping him make the decision. Bron added, “Coach Lloyd’s straight shooter gave him exactly what they believe in, gave him exactly what they believe in him or what they thought about him as a person as a player and be happy to be a part of the… community.”

Following that, he hilariously took a dig at his old teammates, saying, “Got some terrible friends, Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, lot of them there. Not too excited about that. I don’t know, but we are excited to do down.” Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye played alongside King James during his second Cavs stint and also won the championship in the 2016 Finals.

LeBron James’ camaraderie with Jefferson and Frye

It’s one of those friendship trios we usually witness in high schools where they always go after each other and remain the closest of buddies. Despite their breakup after the Cavs’ stint, the trio maintained a wonderful friendship. There’s an example for it too.

Following James’ 2020 NBA Championship with the Lakers, the superstar featured in Richard Jefferson’s podcast show Road Trippin. It was probably the most comfortable interview you can find LeBron James ever in. Importantly, Channing Frye also joined the podcast virtually.

During the interview, LeBron trolled Frye’s tweeting activity and the controversial opinions he kept making once in a while. At the same time, the superstar also validated one of Frye’s controversial tweets on Giannis Antetokounmpo and stood by him, proving their friendship.

Guess what?

At the end of the podcast, James poured a glass of Lobos and sipped it on camera with his friends. So, even though James joked about his friends’ influence on his son in Arizona, he knew they’d stand by his son, whenever necessary. Above all, will Bryce James come out all guns blazing with his college stint? Let us know in the comments below.
