Bryce James took to his Instagram stories to recreate an iconic image his father, LeBron James, posted on Instagram years ago. The picture features Bryce standing in a pool, holding his head and smiling looking to the sky, saying that he is smiling through his life because he can’t believe how good he has it.
“Smiling through it all! Can’t believe this [is] my life.”
LeBron even reacted to Bryce’s recreation of this meme, sharing it on his own Instagram story with several laughing emojis.
LeBron’s original story is from 2018. Many believed, because of the timing of the story, that it was a response to Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham, who had slammed LeBron James for his comments over then-US President Donald Trump. LeBron clearly didn’t take Ingraham’s comments at the time too seriously.
This was a hilarious play from Bryce, who showed that he pays attention the times his father goes viral on social media, or becomes a meme. James is, unintentionally, one of the funniest players in the league, and so, a lot of what he often says or does becomes a meme on social media.
Bryce James has plenty of reasons to smile. His brother Bronny got drafted by the Lakers last week, and he and his dad now have the chance to become the first father-son duo to play in the NBA together. On top of that, LeBron James also signed a massive two-year, $104 million contract with the Lakers. As for Bryce, he sees his future a little differently.
Bryce James Doesn’t Think He Will Reach The NBA Before LeBron James Retires
During a recent Instagram live, Bryce James was asked what he thinks about the possibility of playing with his father in the NBA like his brother Bronny is about to do. Bryce noted that he doesn’t think that possibility is a strong one, as his father would be 42 by the time he is ready to make the jump to the league.
“I ain’t going to lie – that’s OD. Waiting until I… Nah, that’s too much. They said my dad is still going to be in the league when I get drafted. That’s too much. Nah. Look, he’s 39. He’s going to be 42, bro.”
LeBron James has expressed his desire to play with both his sons in the league. But waiting till his son Bryce gets drafted, which could either be in 2026 or 2027, might be too much even for him. James has taken very good care of himself and has defied his own age. But even he knows that the end is near for him.
Last season, James averaged 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds in 71 games. Playing for this long and at the level he has will take a toll on his body. His contract is an indication of how he is going to approach his career. He signed a two-year, $100 million contract with the Lakers, that includes a player option for the second year.
James might be structuring his contracts in a way that allows him to re-evaluate his body each year, and decide whether he wants to continue to play or call time on his legendary career. Regardless of when it happens, James’ retirement will be a historic moment for the league.
