"LeBron James Gotta Fire That Security": 6'6 Bryce James Getting 'Harassed' Into A Photo With Fan Goes Viral

Bryce and Bronny James, being LeBron James‘ sons, have always been in the spotlight. From early childhood, both brothers became celebrities, leaving them with little privacy in public spaces. Recently, Bryce Maximus, LBJ’s youngest son, faced a privacy breach when a fan harassed him, and security didn’t intervene. The uncomfortable interaction was captured on social media and quickly went viral.

Bryce Maximus is currently 6’6″ and an emerging prospect in high-school basketball. LeBron James, his father, recently coached him for Peach Jam Basketball, where Bryce showcased his unique skills and talents. As he blossoms into a future basketball star, some believe he could surpass his brother Bronny James in talent and skills.

Fans call out LeBron James to get Bryce tighter security following harassment from a fan

Bryce and Bronny, as celebrity kids, have always lived under public scrutiny. Unlike other kids their age, they can’t enjoy a carefree public life. Recently, a fan spotted Bryce in public and insisted on taking pictures with him.

Bryce reluctantly agreed but seemed uncomfortable throughout. The fan didn’t respect his personal boundaries despite Bryce trying to maintain privacy in a public space. It’s commendable that Bryce remained polite despite feeling harassed.

The fan tried different poses, but Bryce’s facial expression remained unchanged and disturbed. Bryce’s bodyguard was present but didn’t intervene.

While many fans dream of meeting Bryce and Bronny, this incident highlights the wrong way to approach celebrities in public. A Twitter account shared a clip of the incident, tweeting about the issue.

“LeBron James gotta fire that security because look at Bryce’s reaction.” 

This could be just the start for Bryce. He must learn to handle intrusive fans who approach him. As people uncover Bryce’s talents, his fame will likely increase. Being King LeBron James’ son, Bryce inherits his father’s legacy along with his elder brother Bronny James.

LeBron is the biggest fan of the athlete Bryce is looking to become

Bryce is gaining a following through impressive performances in high school basketball. His elder brother joined USC, while Bryce moved from Sierra Canyon to Campbell Hall. Videos of him playing for his new team at the Section 7 tournament went viral on social media.

Bryce’s father, LeBron James, is his biggest fan. He actively supports their careers, often sharing clips of his sons on his Instagram stories. LeBron even coached Bryce’s SFG team with Rajon Rondo for the Peach Ball Basketball Tournament. He wants his legacy to continue with his sons carrying it forward.
