Bryce James, checking in with 3:20 left in the first quarter, played with confidence and contributed significantly to the team’s success. In 21 minutes, he recorded eight points, including two 3-pointers, five steals, and three assists. Sierra Canyon, with a halftime lead of 46-18, was led by junior wing Bryce Cofield, who finished with 21 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.
Justin Pippen, another NBA legacy on the Sierra Canyon team and the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, also delivered a standout performance. The 6-foot-4 point guard, considered one of the rising stars in the senior class, led the team with a double-double of 21 points, and 10 rebounds, along with five assists and two steals.
Pippen credited his father for teaching him to stay aggressive and maintain a short-term memory on the court. The Sierra Canyon team, with notable NBA connections, displayed a strong performance, extending their record to 10-1. Their next challenge is against Burroughs High School in the Santa Barbara Tournament on December 27.
LeBron James, having experienced a challenging moment watching his eldest son Bronny’s USC debut, found joy in witnessing Bryce’s success, providing a positive redemption narrative for the James family. Bryce, who has taken unofficial visits to Ohio State and USC, continues to develop his skills and make a name for himself in the basketball world.
LeBron James Can Play With Bryce James As Well
LeBron James, a living legend in the NBA entering his 21st year, has expressed a clear desire to play alongside his eldest son, Bronny, in the NBA. However, after Bronny’s recent health scare involving a cardiac arrest during his debut at USC, the timeline for him entering the NBA may be delayed. The 19-year-old might take some time to assess his readiness before considering entering the NBA draft.
On the other hand, LeBron’s younger son, Bryce James, is making strides in his basketball career at the age of 16, currently playing for Sierra Canyon. If Bryce decides to pursue a professional basketball career, he could potentially enter the NBA around the age of 19 or 20, providing a timeline of another 3-4 years.
LeBron James, known for his incredible longevity and sustained high-level performance, continues to defy expectations in his third decade in the league. With LeBron still going strong, putting up astounding numbers in his 21st season, the possibility of him playing alongside Bryce isn’t far-fetched.
Adding intrigue to this possibility is a promotional campaign for Beats that hinted at the prospect of LeBron playing with Bryce as well. While the details remain uncertain, the idea of LeBron sharing the court with both of his sons is an exciting prospect for basketball fans.
The timeline may unfold over the coming years, but if circumstances align, LeBron James could achieve the unique feat of playing alongside both Bronny and Bryce in the NBA. As fans eagerly anticipate the future, the potential for a multi-generational legacy on the basketball court is a captivating storyline in the James family narrative.
