“Doesn’t Have Bronny’s Athleticism”: Despite Putting on a Show in LeBron James’ Dream City, 6’6 Bryce James Draws Divided Reaction

LeBron James is embarking on a significant chapter in his illustrious NBA career. Fortunately, he’s been able to take a breather this offseason, thanks to the improved atmosphere in LA in recent years. Shedding light on his remarkable endurance, James attributes his longevity to his deep desire to share the NBA court with his kids. During the Lakers’ media day, he unveiled that his children serve as his greatest inspiration.

His eldest son, Bronny James, is currently undergoing a rehab process in preparation for his freshman season with the USC Trojans. Meanwhile, his younger son, Bryce, has taken it upon himself to carry the torch for the James family’s basketball talents.

Furthermore, at the age of 16, Bryce seems to gear up for his junior season. It marks a crucial juncture as he will now participate in camps and training combines more than ever. Additionally, he will also attract attention of NBA and college scouts even more. 

Fans radiate a mixed reaction to Bryce’s performance

Being the son of the NBA’s biggest name is no walk in the park. It’s a privilege that comes with its fair share of advantages and disadvantages. While it’s tempting to focus on the perks, the downsides include constant scrutiny and often harsh judgment from the media and fans. The said mixed bag was prominently on display in the comments section of Bryce’s recent highlight reel.

Drawing immediate comparisons to his father, @BrettAllen89 suggested that Bryce’s playing style closely mirrors LeBron James. Giving the younger James the edge, this fan claimed Bryce has a superior jumper.

On the other hand, @Guerillabasket1 couldn’t resist a little sibling rivalry. While acknowledging Bronny’s superior athleticism, the user noted, “Doesn’t have Bronny’s athleticism but the size and jumper are nice.” 

Quick to defend Bryce, @flacopinga stepped in as the family peacemaker. The user shut down comments favoring Bronny. While pointing out that Bronny may have stronger fundamentals, the user claims Bryce’s potential ceiling is even higher.

In contrast, @getmoneyronald came armed with statistics and a side of sass. Calling out the ones favoring Bryce, the user presented cold, hard numbers.

Similarly, but taking the game analysis a step further, @EzoARisktaker provided a detailed breakdown of Bryce’s strengths with surgical precision, along with areas for improvement. Nevertheless, the user recognized Bryce as a genuine hooper.

With Bryce’s rising stardom, he’s well aware of the critical remarks that come with the territory. So far, he has displayed gradual improvement in his understanding of the game. Furthermore, with LeBron James by his side, Bryce will inevitably prove his doubters wrong in the times to come.
