LeBron James' second son, Bryce James, has been gaining recognition in recent years. Despite sharing the spotlight with his older brother, Bronny James, Bryce hasn't shied away from challenges and is on his path to the NBA in a couple of years.

After switching teams a few times in the past year, Bryce has settled at Sierra Canyon, where his brother previously played. He has been very active in the last couple of months, and today, fans took notice of a big play. A video shared by X account Hoop Central shows Bryce posterizing an opponent with his left hand.

This play caught the attention of many fans on social media, who lauded the young athlete:

"Future #1 pick," a fan predicted.
"Better left hand than Jaylen Brown," a fan opined.

Others compared him to his father.

"Dad genes slowly sneaking in," one fan said.
"BRYCE JAMES BODY BAG," another one wrote.
"He does have his dads genes," somebody else said.

Comparisons with his older brother didn't take long to arrive, with one fan saying Bryce already has the edge over Bronny.

"The younger 1 always has more talent... It's noticeable," one fan wrote.

While Bryce doesn't yet have the same level of attention as Bronny, some believe his ceiling might be higher than his older brother's. Only time will tell how he fares in the next couple of years. In the meantime, he's focused on improving, and both fans and his dad are hyped up to see how much he will evolve.
