Competing in the Bad Boyz Summer, the Strive for greatness (Sfg) u15 team are certainly living up to their name. Going up against the AVAC ballerz , this under 15 Sfg squad put on a truly dominant performance finishing 67-21 as LeBron and Bronny watched from the sidelines.
Sfg seemed to have the game in control right from the start, playing with poise and determination well beyond their age. Their ball movement along with their ability to turn over the ball and score in transition seems to be a clear strength.
Players like Naseef Lubowa and Demarco Johnson athletic capabilities tied with Bryce’s mid-range game and a strong post presence in Brayden Kyman proved to be too much for their opposition. With this kind of an opening statement, the Sfg squad will hope to go on win the tournament adding to their growing notoriety.
Even though Bronny (LeBron James jr) has been in the spotlight for the longest time, Bryce managed to stay under the radar for a while but only for so long. The 14-year-old attends the same school as Bronny (Sierra Canyon, CA) and plays on LeBron’s under 15 Strive for Greatness squad.

While Bronny has a style similar to his father, Bryce who is in the early stages of understanding and playing the game seems to be on a path of his own. Declared as the best shooter in the James household, Bryce has a more spot-up shooter style and can drive to the basket efficiently.
