LeBron James, an NBA offseason participant, is honing his skills as a coach despite his immense prowess on the court.
Aside from playing a game on the Nike EYBL circuit, the four-time NBA champion was captured on camera providing instructions from the sidelines to his 16-year-old son Bryce, who is a member of the Strive For Greatness team coached by James and former teammate Rajon Rondo.
They were pitted against New Heights Lightning in Peach Jam, the Nike EYBL spring and summer league championship tournament, which was played in Augusta, Georgia. The tournament is regarded as a preeminent high school basketball competition in the United States, attracting teams from notable athletes including Bradley Beal, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony.
James, overcome with elation, was observed enthusiastically raising his fist from the sidelines as his team overcame a 10-point deficit to force overtime. With 27 points from Brayden Burries, James led Strive for Greatness to victory as their coach. The team’s current tournament record is one defeat and two victories.
They defeated the Expressions 78-69 in the opener, then fell to the Florida Rebels 72-67 in the rematch on Wednesday, before defeating the Lightning in overtime.
Bryce, who is reportedly poised to transfer from Sierra Canyon to Campbell Hall after receiving his first Division I offer from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, will follow in the footsteps of James, who has also decided to pursue a basketball career. Bryce is 16 years old. Bronny James is widely considered to be a primary target for the 2024 NBA Draft and will be a member of the USC squad for the upcoming season.
Baron Bellamy, the son of comedian Bill Bellamy, and Richard Hamilton II, the son of former NBA star Richard Hamilton, are among the sons of notable athletes with whom Bryce is scheduled to perform. David Grace, the chief coach at Campbell Hall, is ecstatic to have the chance to assist Bryce in the development of his basketball abilities.
“If given the opportunity to coach Bryce, I want him to be Bryce,” Grace told ESPN. “Because that is unique, and I want him to develop and benefit the most from his time at Campbell Hall.” It will be far more than just me assisting him, but I will do my best to contribute. I can partially grasp the perspective from which he is speaking. I do not identify as him.
“While my family did not receive the same level of attention, I have been in a similar situation and can either relate my own experiences or at least empathize with his. “In that area will I develop professionally as a coach.”
Bronny James, the older brother of Byrce, has chosen to enroll at the University of Southern California (USC) and will don number six, just like his father.
James will be hopeful the sixth overall pick benefits him, and he may declare for the NBA Draft the following year. Following four years at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, James made the decision to remain in close proximity to his family while also pursuing athletics at USC.
LeBron James remarked, “One of the greatest days of my life,” following his son’s acceptance to USC for the upcoming season. “He is the first member of my family to attend college. “Regardless of the game’s outcome, I could not afford to lose today.”
