Bryce James was one of the most recognized high school basketball players, being the son of LA Lakers superstar LeBron James. Another basketball player from Groveport Madison High School in Ohio has garnered attention for looking like the Arizona signee. His name is Josiah Reed, and just like Bryce, he also plays shooting guard and is from the same state.

LeBron James admits sons Bronny and Bryce James are not doing what he did in high school

During Sunday's episode of LeBron James and Steve Nash's "Mind the Game" podcast, the LA Lakers star opened up about his two sons. He said that they did not do what he did in high school.

Nash asked James if Bronny and Bryce ever played outside, and he admitted that they rarely do.

“Very rarely,” James said. “They did play outside a little bit. But most of it is indoors and programmed. We tried all sports, even track and field. We played football all the way through high school. We didn’t just cap it at one thing.”

Bronny plays for the Lakers, although he also suits up in the G League for South Bay. Meanwhile, Bryce graduated from Sierra Canyon School in California, and will play for the Arizona Wildcats next season.
