Bryce James is a star in the making

LeBron James, widely regarded as this generation’s Greatest of All Time (GOAT), is well into his historic NBA career. As he approaches his 39th birthday, attention has inevitably switched to his sons, Bronny and Bryce, who are prepared to follow in their father’s illustrious footsteps. While the world’s attention has mostly been on Bronny’s quest to the NBA, Bryce James may be the dark horse, destined to become the superior player.

Bryce, who is only 16 years old, possesses the characteristics that might make him a basketball phenomenon. He immediately attracts attention with his physical presence, standing at a towering 6’5″. Bryce had planned to move to Campbell Hall in Studio City, California, but changed his mind after working out with the Notre Dame Knights team.

When the youthful Bryce was onto the floor for Notre Dame, he gave an incredible performance. He drew early similarities to his father’s high school days, with tremendous finishes around the rim and a dominant defensive presence. During matches, Bryce is recognized for sporting protective goggles as a personal touch. However, in a match while blocking Bryce’s shot, a defender accidentally broke his goggles.

The young James kept his cool and did not react to the situation. Otherwise, when players encounter situations like these, they tend to snap due to the adrenaline rush of the game. But Bryce showed his composure and played it off like it was nothing earning the respect of fans and teammates. So looking at this maturity at just the age of 16, fans are quite certain that Bryce will surpass Bronny eventually in the long run.
