LeBron James' wife Savannah James has an emoji-filled response for Bryce James' brilliant block at Peach Jam

Bronny James has been capturing the headlines recently, but Bryce James, LeBron James' other son, is making a name for himself at the 2024 Peach Jam Tournament. Bryce was praised by his mother, Savannah James, who couldn't contain her excitement after an incredible block from her son.

Bryce James has been competing against the next generation of basketball stars at the Nike Peach Jam in Augusta, South Carolina this summer. The 17-year-old displayed an extraordinary vertical leap on Friday, in a play that has gone viral on social media.

With the opposition on a fast break, Bryce was seen tracking back and timed his jump perfectly to meet his counterpart at the rim, pulling off a massive block. The play drew a string of emojis from Savannah James on her Instagram story, which can be seen below:

Bryce James has developed into an elite high school basketball player over the last few years, and the 6-foot-6 shooting guard has impressed at the Peach Jam and also at Sierra Canyon High School. There is still plenty of time to develop his game, but that has not stopped some of the nation's top basketball schools from knocking on his door.

Bryce received his first Division 1 offer from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which was followed up by an offer from an offer from Ohio State University. Bryce was born in Cleveland and his family has plenty of ties to the state of Ohio. His older brother Bronny also received a scholarship from Ohio State but chose to attend the University of Southern California.

Bryce has been under the spotlight since his days in middle school. As the son of LA Lakers superstar LeBron James, Bryce will be facing immense pressure to reach the NBA and will have to drown out the outside noise and focus on his development.

It will be interesting to follow his development and see if Bryce James will be one of the faces of the NBA in the future.
