Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James has yet to react to his eldest son and teammate Bronny James making a career-high number of three-pointers and beating a former overall pick. However, he has not missed the opportunity to cheer for his younger son, Bryce James, following his recent achievement. It seems the 40-year-old is in a dilemma about showing support for Bronny, especially after he publicly confronted Stephen A. Smith for making negative comments about him.

LeBron James supports Bryce James for becoming a State Champion


Recently, 17-year-old Bryce James took to his Instagram Stories to share a farewell message after completing his final basketball season at Sierra Canyon School. "On to the next chapter..." Bryce wrote, alongside a monochrome picture of himself at the farewell event at Sierra Canyon. Sharing Bryce’s Instagram Story on his own handle, LeBron wrote, "H.I.M. Young" along with a king emoji.
Earlier, LeBron had also shared a series of happy pictures from the celebration. The post had the caption: "Bryce ends his high school career a State Champion. Congrats, fam."

This wasn’t all—LeBron, along with wife Savannah and daughter Zhuri, was there to cheer for Bryce from the stands last Saturday when his team narrowly defeated Lincoln High School 58-53. Bryce played a pivotal role in securing the win after tying the game with a reverse layup, ultimately setting the stage for the close victory.

LeBron James is yet to praise Bronny James


Meanwhile, LeBron James has been keeping a low profile when it comes to supporting Bronny. His latest achievement—making a career-high 17 points—was praised by fans on social media, though it wasn't enough to prevent a defeat for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Milwaukee Bucks.

This situation also seems to be connected to the incident with Stephen A. Smith, after LeBron confronted him. Smith discussed the matter at length but LeBron continues to remain silent on the issue. Speaking on it, Smith said in one of his comments, “That wasn’t a basketball player confronting me; that was a parent, that was a father.”
