While he was unable to make the dunk, it elicited some priceless reactions from his teammates and parents, LeBron and Savannah James, who were watching the game from the sidelines.

Last month, the former Sierra Canyon player was a part of a dunk-for-dunk challenge started by the Hoopers. Nominated by Velijah Miller, Bryce uploaded a video of himself performing an off-the-backboard windmill dunk.
