Bryce Maximus James Facts

- LeBron, in media interactions, often calls Bryce the ‘best shooter in the household’ and the tag caught further media attention after a video of Bryce repeatedly pulling up from downtown and scoring 3-pointers for the North Coast Blue Chips (his AAU team) went viral.
- Critics and talent scouts often liken Bryce’s appreciable start-stop change of pace in the open floor to both his father and his older brother. He is also regarded as having athleticism and ball-handling skills that are comparable to athletes in their late teens.
- After a December 2018 game, LeBron posted a video on Instagram, of him giving a pep talk to Bryce. Although Bryce’s team had won the game, he was a little despondent as he had not shot well in the game. Although the video was widely appreciated for being an example of good parenting, the duo also received criticism from some quarters as people felt that the pep talk was staged to capture media eyeballs and such publicity was unnecessarily exposing a young Bryce to scrutiny that other kids of his age would not have to handle.
