Attending Bronny’s recent NBA draft combine scrimmage followed by Bryce’s EYBL game, LeBron James ensures he anyhow makes time for his kids. The Los Angeles Lakers star ensures his presence for most of his kids’ important moments. So it is natural for him to understand and appreciate this aspect of fatherhood. And coming from similar sentiments, the King recently sent a mark of respect along former NBA star Jason Williams’ way.

NBA on ESPN shared a post featuring Williams’ presence at the Florida Gators’ recent softball game. “White Chocolate supporting his daughter at the NCAA softball tournament,” read the caption to the post. Extending his support to Williams in the comments was LeBron James, who commented, “SUPER DOPE @jasonwilliams55 🫡”.

Notably, the 2006 NBA champ’s daughter, Mia Williams, represents the Gators’ softball team. She has also earned some accolades for herself so far, including the 2023 PGF All-American Game MVP, and Female Athlete of the Year during her high school days in Windermere Prep. In terms of ‘hitting stats’ this season, she has 94 at-bats, 30 runs, 16 hits, and 5 home runs. Meanwhile, in fielding stats, Mia has 72 putouts, and 74 assists with a fielding percentage of 94.8%. 

Playing with the Gators, she also recently won the SEC tournament. And now the team has their eyes set on the NCAA championship. So it was obvious for White Chocolate to be present at his daughter’s crucial game and it seems now the father-daughter duo has got LeBron’s support as well.

It is worth mentioning that while the LA Lakers star’s elder son, Bronny James, is involved in NBA draft preparations, his younger son, Bryce James, is currently playing in the EYBL. And he recently faced Carmelo Anthony’s son Kiyan in the league as his team, SFG, clashed with Team Melo.

And LeBron did not miss his son’s last game in session 3 of the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). The 4x NBA champ not only marked his presence on the occasion but was also seen guiding his son’s team during the game.

It cannot be ignored that Kiyan outclassed Bryce in terms of performance with his 18 points against Bryce’s 8. Notably, Bryce has not had a very impressive run at EYBL, as he has averaged just 6.3 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. However, it seems LeBron James’s guidance worked for the SFG as of now, as they registered a 71-65 win.
