Bryce James receives praise from his father, LeBron James, and Shaquille O’Neal

Shaquille O’Neal brought the energy to the Wildcats’ Red-Blue showcase as the DJ once the exhibition game wrapped up at McKale Center.

While there, Shaq also made sure to give a shoutout to his former teammate’s son, Bryce James.

“I miss college,” Shaq said. “Nice to see my nephew, Bryce, out here and Mama James, his (LeBron’s) lovely wife.”

Bryce James also received love from his father LeBron James, who's busy with the LA Lakers’ preseason and couldn’t make the trip to Tucson. Nevertheless, he shared an Instagram story to extend his support to his youngest son.

LeBron was in Pittsburgh as the Lakers faced off against the Phoenix Suns. However, he didn’t suit up, sitting on the bench alongside Luka Doncic.

Without the two stars, the Purple & Gold struggled. Austin Reaves stepped up and delivered with 20 points in 21 minutes, but Devin Booker stole the show with 24 points and seven assists in a 103-81 win for Phoenix.

As for Bryce, his Arizona team has a few exhibition matchups remaining before the season tips off. Their first clash is on Nov. 2 against the Florida Gators.

Bryce James started in the Red-Blue showcase but isn't expected to be in the Wildcats' starting lineup when the season begins.
