LeBron James Hypes Son After NCAA Freshman Season on Bench

LeBron James, after spending much of July away from basketball activities, is now focusing his attention on his son Bryce, who had a freshman season spent mostly on the bench for his college team.

LeBron James has been keeping busy since joining the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency. In an effort to boost his son Bryce’s confidence after a challenging freshman year at college basketball, LeBron is now actively engaging with him. [1] The New York Post reported that LeBron recently dapped up someone who was likely Bryce, indicating he may have been present for a game or practice.

This move comes as the NBA offseason continues to unfold, and teams are finalizing their rosters ahead of the 2026-27 season. While some speculated about which team James would join, his focus has shifted to supporting his family. [1] The New York Post’s coverage highlights how LeBron is using this time to stay connected with his son, who had a tough start in college basketball.
