Ahead of Game 6 Against Ja Morant, LeBron James Shared Clip of Bryce James’ First Win With Team SFG at Nike EYBL

The Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies for Game 6 of their first-round matchup. After losing a chance to close things out in Memphis, LeBron James and the Lakers closed things out against Ja Morant and co. tonight. From initial impressions, it looks like LeBron took inspiration from his son Bryce James‘ EYBL win tonight and fueled his energy into the Lakers. I mean, sharing what else would sharing Bryce’s highlight clip on his IG 21 minutes before tip-off mean?

Almost 11 years after Kobe Bryant and co. beat the Nuggets in Game 7 at home; the Lakers finally closed a series in LA. They took the game 125-85 and now are waiting for the Warriors-Kings to get their second-round matchup. D’Angelo Russell found his shooting stroke, and Anthony Davis has been a monster. With Bronny in attendance for Game 6, the King did not forget his other son.

Right before the game was about to start, he shared Bryce’s first win of the season with Team SFG in the Nike EYBL.

LeBron James takes it to Instagram to share Bryce James’ highlight reel

After making his debut in the EYBL circuit last year, Bryce James is back for season 2. Last year, he was playing on the team with his elder brother Bronny James. However, now that Bronny is done with high school, Bryce is out there alone.

In their first game tonight, Bryce and Team SFG took on Team Takeover and came out with a 63-60 win. Bryce had a six-point, four-rebound night. He had a highlight reel out instantly for the same on IG.

It’s almost like LeBron James was waiting for the same. He shared the same almost instantly. It was around 20 minutes before the Tip-off of Game 6 against the Grizzlies.

Looks like LBJ knew he had the game covered, so he went ahead to enjoy his son’s success.

Will LBJ head to Phoenix for rest of the EYBL games?

The Nike EYBL is in Phoenix, Arizona, between 28 to 30th April. Now that the Lakers are a lock for round 2, they have to wait for the Warriors-Kings to fight in Game 7 on Sunday. Lakers will either head to San Francisco or Sacramento for Game 1 on Tuesday(probably).

Seeing they have some breathing time, Bron might hop on a jet and join his son Bryce in Phoenix to cheer on him.
