Bryce James, LeBron’s youngest son, reveals his team choice
LeBron James' youngest son had offers from the likes of Ohio State Buckeyes, Duquesne Dukes, and Arizona Wildcats.
Bryce James, the youngest son of NBA superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, has made a significant choice regarding his future. He has committed to the University of Arizona for the Class of 2025. The four-star prospect announced his decision on Instagram, sharing a photo with head coach Tommy Lloyd.
The youngest of the James family chose Arizona over the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Duquesne Dukes, schools he had reportedly visited unofficially since 2022, according to ESPN. Bryce has played for Sierra Canyon and the Strive for Greatness program in the Nike EYBL circuit.
In June, Bryce was invited to train at the USA Basketball U-17 camp. However, he was not part of the team that won the FIBA U-17 World Cup held in Turkey. He will turn 18 in June 2025.
Other kids of former NBA players in the Class of 2025
James won’t be the only son of a former NBA player debuting in the NCAA in 2025. Kiyan Anthony, the son of Carmelo Anthony, will also be part of the same class. Additionally, twins Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the sons of Carlos Boozer, and Jermaine O’Neal Jr., the son of former Indiana Pacers center Jermaine O’Neal, will join the collegiate ranks.
The Boozer twins have committed to Duke University, their father’s alma mater. Similarly, Anthony followed in his father’s footsteps by joining the Syracuse Orange, despite offers from Indiana, Michigan, Florida State, and other Division I programs.
O’Neal Jr.’s path is unique compared to the others, as his father was among the last players to jump directly from high school to the NBA. The six-time All-Star’s son has chosen Southern Methodist University to start his college basketball career.
