“Ay Bryce Maximus Is Catching Lobs Now?!”: LeBron James Is Astonished At His Second Eldest’s New Found Hops

LeBron James has made it very clear over the years that his one goal as an NBA player is to finally get a chance to play with his eldest son, Bronny James. If Bronny stays on the trajectory he’s on right now, he’ll surely make the league in some capacity in the 2024 NBA Draft. 

While James has talked about playing with his eldest son over the years, he’s also added another goal to his career in the NBA: play alongside his second oldest, Bryce Maximus. This would mean that LeBron would stay in the league up until the end of the 2026-27 season at the minimum, if he were to accomplish these two feats. 

With the way both Bronny and Bryce have been progressing at the high school level, it’s safe to say that both of the ‘James Gang’ members will have an incredible shot at making it to the league.

LeBron James is in awe of Bryce Maximus catching alley-oops 

LeBron James has always been his sons’ number one supporter. When he’s not on the road for NBA games, he’s frequently seen rooting for both of them at their games in Sierra Canyon. He even shows up at a multitude of their AAU games as well. 

During a particular practice session for Sierra Canyon, Bryce Maximus is seen catching a two-handed lob from one of his teammates. This prompted LeBron to take to social media to praise his son for that showcase of athleticism.

Bryce recently grew to a height that even surpassed his elder brother, Bronny. The way he plays the game is quite holistic, he seems to have almost every single weapon in his arsenal and now, he’s added lob dunks to his bag of tricks. 

Bronny and Bryce Maximus are rated fairly high for their classes 

Most recently, Bronny James was ranked 34 out of 100 seniors in high school in the nation. While he isn’t close to what LeBron James was ranked as when he was at St. Vincent-St. Mary, he’s certainly established himself as one of the best players in the country. 

Bryce has also received a ton of attention from scouts all across the nation due to his 6’6 frame and ability to integrate himself into an offense fairly easily.
