The next generation of LeBron James will probably set foot in the NBA in the coming years. The Chosen One’s 18-year-old son Bronny will be eligible for NBA drafts in the coming year. While his take on 2024 drafts is not official, it might give James what he has desired for a long time – sharing the ball with his son on NBA hardwood. Apart from Bronny, LeBron also has a 16-year-old in Bryce. He recently transferred to Campbell Hall School before his junior high school year. He comes off with playing experience with Scottie Pippen‘s son Justin Pippen and his elder brother Bronny. Recently, Bryce James made headlines for his sudden growth spurt.

Despite being the youngest son, he almost stands tall as his father at 6’6. Additionally, he received his first D1 offer despite never playing at the varsity level. He has hundreds of games to play before getting to the NBA right now. However, the expectations from the kid are high.

In a recent candid clip, Bryce is seen doing just that. Caught in the hustle and bustle of a Target store, Bryce was approached by an enthusiastic fan who couldn’t contain his excitement. “Bro, I am a huge fan. Can I please get a pic, bro?” the young man exclaimed, thrilled to meet the offspring of a sports icon. Bryce, ever gracious, didn’t hesitate to oblige, generously giving the fan the photo he desired.

After a brief moment the fan insisted on getting another picture clicked. In a surprising twist, he began flashing gang signs, seemingly trying to impress Bryce with a misguided display. Yet, the young James didn’t miss a beat. In a split second, he reacted with a knowing chuckle, subtly distancing himself from the awkward situation. “I am a real blood, so you throw a blood,” the fan proclaimed, clearly not reading the room. Unfazed, Bryce gently shut down the inappropriate gesture. “We ain’t doing none of that,” he calmly replied, staying true to his values and principles before bidding the fan a composed farewell.

It was a remarkable moment of maturity for someone so young, demonstrating a firm grasp on importance of integrity and steering clear of controversies. In a world where fame often comes with its share of challenges, Bryce proved that he’s more than ready to carve his own path while carrying the torch of the James family’s values and principles. As his journey unfolds, one thing is clear – the legacy of LeBron James lives on through the remarkable character of his talented son, Bryce.

In a riveting 2022 interview with Sports Illustrated, LeBron James passionately discussed his ultimate dream of sharing the NBA court with his talented sons.

As the clock ticks, the time seems to synchronize with the ticking of LeBron’s own inner drive. He is entering his 21st season of NBA and looks like he isn’t stop anytime soon. In the interview, the Los Angeles Lakers star said, “I like to throw things out in the airwaves. But I’m not one to what’s going to happen in the next two to three years. I am a visionary. But I’m also a guy that lives in the moment. I’d definitely be looking at who got first-round picks in 2024, 2025, things of that nature; 2026, ’27. I pay attention to that type of stuff.”
