“We bark back.”
The video also had some words of disbelief:
Trending
“Really gave Bryce a tech for this. 😭.”
The incident occurred during St. Francis High School's conference game against Sierra Canyon on Friday, where Bryce’s team secured a dominating 77-48 victory.
Bryce, the 6-foot-6 wing and son of NBA superstar LeBron James committed to the Arizona Wildcats earlier this month, choosing them over offers from Ohio State and Duquesne.
On Wednesday, Bryce helped Sierra Canyon secure a 71-62 win against Crespi, where his dad, LeBron and brother Bronny were in attendance. Bryce scored 13 points, including three 3-pointers.
Even LeBron showed his pride, reposting a video shared by Overtime of Bryce’s performance on his Instagram story with the caption:
“Keep going UP, Maximus!!!! Work always prevails! @justbryce.”

His sharpshooting, which included four 3-pointers on 6-of-10 shooting, earned him the game MVP award.
Bryce’s mom, Savannah James, was quick to show her pride. Sharing a video of her son being celebrated by teammates after the game, she captioned her Instagram story with a single, heartfelt word:
"Yyeeeeaaaahhhh!!!"
LeBron James didn’t hold back his excitement either. During the game, he tweeted:
"Bryce James is going crazy in the Hoophall Classic right now! Flame thrower."
Afterward, LeBron got emotional, sharing:
"So proud of you, Maximus!!! I literally just shed a tear! PROUD POPS!!"
