PHOTO: LeBron James’ son Bryce James hints at potential commitment as he cops Oregon-themed Nike Kobe 8 Protros
Bryce James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, created a buzz on Instagram by showcasing a pair of green and yellow Nike Kobe 8 Protro sneakers in a story on Monday. This post has stirred speculation about Bryce's possible commitment to the Oregon basketball program.
Currently a player at Sierra Canyon School, Bryce’s Instagram story led fans to believe that it may indicate an interest in the University of Oregon, known for its strong athletic programs and connection to the Nike brand.
The Nike Kobe 8 Protros, a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant, symbolize his enduring legacy and the prestigious standing of the University of Oregon in collegiate sports. Bryce’s selection of these sneakers suggests a potential alignment with Oregon's basketball team.
According to 247Sports, Bryce, a class of 2025 prospect, is ranked 148 on the national list with a three-star rating and 22nd in California. He is not signed up with anyone as of this time, although he has been courted by Duquesne and Ohio State, among others that offer Division I basketball.
Bryce performed decently at the Peach Jam, scoring an average of 6.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 45% from the floor and 40% from the 3-point line.
As the younger brother of Bronny James, who was recently drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, Bryce faces significant expectations. When asked about possibly joining his father and brother in the NBA, Bryce humorously dismissed the idea and said:
"That’s too much, no. He’s going to be 42, bro."
