One of the best NBA players of all time, LeBron James has long been touted to be on track to play alongside his sons in the league. His eldest, Bronny James, recently joined USC and looks closest to emulating their father. However, both Bronny and his younger brother Bryce are avid basketball players and might have futures in the NBA. Both the brothers, in particular, is a huge supporter of his father and does not miss a single chance to celebrate his achievements.

This includes hyping up their father’s $30 million-a-year deal with Nike. Recently Bryce did this by sharing an Instagram story in which he sported a “Strive for Greatness” Nike t-shirt. The two brothers were involved in a casual dunk contest at the LA Lakers’ training facility. Apart from showing off their impressive skills, the two showed off their goofy side as well.

The short clip included two dunks by the two brothers. Bryce James initially seemed to pull off a Fortnite dance move, proceeding to dunk the ball in a straightforward manner.
Still only 16, Bryce certainly looks to have the skills necessary to have an NBA career. He also sported a grey Nike t-shirt, which bodes well for his father.

LeBron signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2016 while Bronny James already has a deal with the global giants as well. Now, Bryce appears to be doing his bit, hyping up the company to his followers on Instagram.
Of course, this does not mean that he is sure to end up signing with Nike. Bryce is known to have basketball ambitions but is still only 16. Their father will be the last person looking to put pressure on their young shoulders.

Despite being offered more money from other companies, it was Nike’s pitch that had initially attracted James to the company. Instead of being treated as just another sportsperson, Nike wanted him to view himself as a businessman instead.
James initially signed with Nike in 2003. The success that he had on-court meant that he had more than enough credentials to negotiate a lifetime deal, 12 years later.
While nobody expects his sons to reach the levels he attained during his career, both Bryce and Bronny James have received more than their fair share of attention, until now. The two still look to be enjoying their lives at the moment, which will be endearing to see, especially for LeBron James.
