LeBron James is very happy after Bryce James returned home on Tuesday from college. James could not contain his love for his younger son, who was sporting some facial hair. Bryce is set to make his debut for the Arizona Wildcats this upcoming NCAA season as a freshman.
In a post on his Instagram stories, LeBron James shared a reel of himself greeting Bryce after returning home from Arizona. The youngster was with his Wildcats teammates preparing for the new season.
"That boy home from college for a little bit," James said. "That boy home from college for a little bit. Hey, y'all see his beard? Oh my goodness. He's my guy."
Lebron James was hyped to see his son, calling him his twin.
"My Twin home Ayyyyeeeeee @_justbryce," James wrote.
With Bryce James all set to make his debut, Lebron James could not be any prouder. Bryce went against the speculations of staying in Southern California and committed to the Arizona Wildcats in January. He made it official in April and joined the squad after graduating from Sierra Canyon High School.
It will be interesting to see if Bryce can carve out a role at Arizona as a Freshman. The Wildcats' backcourt likely includes Jaden Bradley and Anthony Dell'Orso. They also incorporated five-star guard Brayden Burries, so playing time might be scarce for Bryce and he makes a solid impression in training sessions.
Before going to Arizona, several programs, like USC, Duquesne and Ohio State, were interested in Bryce.
Bryce James shares advice from LeBron James
In a conversation with reporters on Tuesday, Bryce James was questioned if LeBron James has given him any advice ahead of his first year at Arizona. Bryce noted having the work ethic is needed for success, as well as staying positive amid possible negativity, turmoil and criticism.
"Just working hard and coming in and doing what you do best," James said, according to CBS Sports. "Making sure if you're not having some good days, always have to stay positive. ... Miss a shot, maybe get a turnover or something, don't hang your head down. Always keep your head up. Push through and stay positive."
LeBron did not attend college, there was a lot of pressure on him after he was drafted out of high school by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. He was labelled "Chosen One" and transformed into one of the biggest players ever.
