LeBron James shared his son’s exciting news on his Instagram Story.
“AYYYEEE!!! LET’S GO MAXIMUS @_JUSTBRYCE,” LeBron wrote, showcasing how proud he is of his son Bryce.
LeBron has a history with Duquesne University and the team’s head coach Keith Dambrot who coached LeBron during his teenage years as a student at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio.

As Bryce enters his sophomore year at Sierra Canyon School, he will play on the JV team this year, while his older brother Bronny James will start his senior year on the varsity team.
Bronny is a four-star prospect for the class of 2023.
The brothers played for the California Basketball Club this summer while competing abroad against London, Paris and Rome teams.
Bryce, a member of the class of 2025, is already being compared to his eldest brother and father.
On Twitter, die-hard basketball fans argued over who would be the “next” James in the NBA based on the brothers’ current playing methods, height, and techniques.
“Bryce James will be better than Bronny James. Bookmark this tweet and come back to it in a few years,” one user tweeted.
