Engaging in trash talk with LeBron James may seem like a daring feat for any NBA player, but it appears that even his own son, Bryce James, isn’t afraid to take on the challenge.
Recently, a playful exchange between father and son unfolded during a backyard shootout, giving fans a look into their competitive spirit.
In a series of videos posted by Bryce on his official Instagram account, the father-son duo could be seen engaged in a shooting contest.
As they took turns launching shots at a hoop located a considerable distance away, Bryce didn’t hesitate to poke fun at his father’s skills, playfully labeling him as “trash” and “sucky.”

However, LeBron remained unfazed by his son’s jests, confidently sinking shot after shot and asserting his status as the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time).
After LeBron’s impressive display, it was Bryce’s turn to showcase his shooting prowess. Despite his attempts to emulate his father’s success, the 16-year-old struggled to find his rhythm, often hitting the rim with his shots. In response, LeBron offered some lighthearted teasing, remarking that Bryce’s shots had “too much rim.”
While the playful exchange provided entertainment for fans, it also highlighted Bryce’s talents on the basketball court. As a member of the Sierra Canyon basketball team, Bryce has earned a reputation as one of the team’s top shooters.
His skills were on full display as he made his debut in the Nike EYBL, attracting attention from both media outlets and basketball enthusiasts.
Despite facing some initial setbacks in the tournament, Bryce’s mother, Savannah James, took to Instagram to express her pride in her son’s accomplishments.
Although Bryce and his team, SFG (Strive for Greatness), experienced a few losses following their initial victory, fans remain optimistic about their potential for a comeback as the tournament progresses.
