"LBJ raised his boys right": Hoops fans react to camaraderie between LeBron James' sons Bronny and Bryce James

Bronny and Bryce James are probably one of the most famous pairs of siblings in basketball at the moment. If there's anything fans love about these two, it's their constant display of bromance. Bryce, the younger of the pair, never misses a chance to express his love and admiration for his brother. Bronny, on the other hand, always applauds his brother's growth.

In another instance of their brotherly affection, Bryce couldn't hide his admiration as he spoke about Bronny on their father's show, Uninterrupted. In a clip posted on the show’s Instagram page, he said:

“I've always looked at him, of course he's my big brother. It was definitely a great experience just seeing how far he's came, like the journey he had to go through. Being at the gym with him, you know, it's always a good time. And then also off the court, just like being around him, being with him and then just hearing his name get called [in the draft], it's all surreal.”

The post prompted sundry reactions including a comment on how well LeBron James has raised his sons. There were also reactions from fans expressing goodwill and hope that the James brothers would keep winning.

When will Bryce James be eligible for the NBA draft?

Bryce James is set to be draft-eligible by 2026. The 17-year-old son of the NBA legend is preceded in the league not just by his dad but also by his brother Bronny. Bronny was picked by the LA Lakers in the second round of the 2024 draft with the 55th overall pick. Bronny declared for the draft after spending a year of college basketball playing for the USC Trojans.

Bryce has been tipped to follow a similar path with two college offers already in the bag for the Sierra Canyon shooting guard. More offers are expected to come in for the 6-ft-4, 190-pound star who is set to graduate high school soon.

Rated three-star, Bryce James is the No.156 prospect in his class nationally according to 247Sports Composite. He's also the No. 27 shooting guard nationally and ranked No. 18 in California.

The dream of Bryce playing with his father and brother in the NBA is one many fans wouldn't mind seeing fulfilled.
